Summary: The ANCSA Regional Association (ARA) opposes the proposed information collection because it fails to exclude Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) programs, which are based on political status rather than racial discrimination. They argue that the collection lacks practical utility for ANCs, understates the regulatory burden, and request explicit exclusions and clearer definitions to prevent the misapplication of the rule to their statutorily mandated programs.
