FSB Fisheries Regulatory Meeting

Comment Period open through July 31, 2026
Send your written comments on proposal(s) or closure review(s):
Federal Subsistence Board
Office of Subsistence Management
(Attn: Regulations Specialist)
1011 E. Tudor Road, MS-121

Email: subsistence@ios.doi.gov
The Federal Subsistence Board (Board) invites your comments on current proposals to change Federal subsistence fish and shellfish regulations for the 2027-2029 regulatory years (April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2029). These proposals seek changes to existing Federal subsistence regulations for the taking of fish and shellfish on Federal public lands in Alaska. Proposals submitted during the current regulatory cycle can be found here.
In addition, the Board is asking for your comments on existing fisheries closures that will be reviewed by the Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils and the Board during this fisheries cycle. The fisheries closures being reviewed can be found here.
You may email your comments to the Federal Subsistence Board at subsistence@ios.doi.gov. Those without email access may mail comments to the address above or fax them to (907) 786-3898. Please refer to a specific proposal number or fisheries closure number in your comments. All comments received by July 31, 2026, will be included in the meeting materials for the appropriate Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) to discuss at their fall meetings and the Board at its spring 2027 meeting. Comments received after July 31, 2026 will be forwarded to the Board for their consideration but will not be included in RAC meeting materials or in any proposal analyses.
Before making decisions on these proposals, the Board considers technical analyses prepared by its staff, recommendations from the 10 RACs, and any written public comments and oral testimony it receives on the proposal, along with Tribal comments received during government-to-government consultations, consistent with the Tribal Consultation Policy, and comments received from Alaska Native Corporations. The Board may consider and act on alternatives that address the intent of a proposal while differing in approach. Once the Board makes its decisions, it will publish the fisheries changes as final regulations for the 2027-2029 regulatory years, effective April 1, 2027, and distribute the fisheries regulation book throughout Alaska.
You may call the Office of Subsistence Management at (800) 478-1456 or email subsistence@ios.doi.gov with questions.
