*** PROPOSED CHANGES TO FEDERAL SUBSTINENCE HUNTING AND TRAPPING REGULATIONS
For Immediate Contact: Justin Koller
Release: May 7, 2025 (907) 891-0355

Comments Invited on Proposed Changes to Federal Subsistence Hunting and Trapping
Regulations for the 2026-2028 Regulatory Years
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Federal Subsistence Board today announced a public comment
period on proposed changes to federal subsistence hunting and trapping regulations. These
proposed changes would affect seasons, harvest limits, methods and means, and customary and
traditional use determinations for the taking of wildlife for the 2026–2028 regulatory years (July
1, 2026, through June 30, 2028). The Board will accept written comments through June 30,
2025.
The Board is also accepting public comments on existing wildlife closures that will be reviewed
by the Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils and the Board during this wildlife cycle.
These closures are being reviewed to determine whether the original justifications for closure
continue to apply. Closure review analyses are being addressed by the Councils and the Board in
the same manner as regulatory proposal analyses.
The proposals and wildlife closures are available on the Federal Subsistence Management
Program’s website at www.doi.gov/subsistence/wildlife/2026-2028_Proposals_and_Closure_Reviews
Comments should reference the proposal number or wildlife closure review number and should
be emailed to [email protected] by June 30, 2025. Those without email access may mail
comments to:
