                                        REPORT

                                        [To accompany S. 1149]
                           [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                    The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
                  referred the bill (S. 1149) to amend the Alaska Native Claims Set-
                  tlement Act to repeal a provision limiting the export of timber har-
                  vested from land conveyed to the Kake Tribal Corporation under
                  that Act, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon
                  without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
                                            PURPOSE
                    The purpose of S. 1149 is to amend the Alaska Native Claims
                  Settlement Act (ANCSA) to repeal a provision (43 U.S.C. 1629h)
                  limiting the export of timber harvested from land conveyed to the
                  Kake Tribal Corporation (KTC) under that Act.
                                     BACKGROUND AND NEED
                    In 2000, Congress enacted Public Law 106-283, the Kake Tribal
                  Corporation Land Transfer Act, in an effort to prevent timber har-
                  vesting in the Gunnuk Creek watershed near the native village of
                  Kake, Alaska. The Gunnuk Creek watershed is the potable water
                  source for the village.
                    Under the terms of the land exchange, KTC conveyed 1,430 acres
                  of surface and subsurface estate in the Gunnuk Creek watershed
                  to the City of Kake, but retained 1,127 acres of its watershed land.
                  Both the land conveyed to the City of Kake and the land retained
                  by KTC were encumbered by a conservation easement to protect
                  the watershed. In return for the conveyed lands, KTC acquired
                     89-010
