    The agenda will include updates on the National Petroleum Reserve

State responsibilities for the Federal Subsistence Management Program.

presentation about cooperative subsistence management and effective 
collaboration between the native corporations and Federal and State 
agencies.
    The RAC will hear Intertribal Coalition presentations from the 
Tanana Chiefs Conference, Kuskokwim Fish Intertribal Commission, and 
Ahtna Intertribal Resource Commission. Presentations on BLM Alaska's 
conservation science partnerships will explore Landscape Conservation 
Cooperatives (LCCs), including the Northwest Boreal LCC, Western Alaska
