On March 7, 2026, groups urged federal agencies to balance efficiency and accountability in proposed land management rule changes affecting subsistence rights and public input.

On March 7, 2026, multiple groups including Colorado Ski Country USA, the Susitna River Coalition, and several Alaska Native communities submitted public comments on proposed federal rule changes affecting land management and subsistence rights. While some, like the ski industry group, supported streamlining project review timelines to reduce delays, others, including environmental and Indigenous advocacy organizations, expressed concerns that the changes could reduce public participation, weaken environmental oversight, and threaten subsistence access. The U.S. Forest Service and Department of the Interior are reviewing feedback on proposed regulations aimed at modernizing federal processes, with stakeholders urging balance between efficiency and accountability.
