Oral Comment from Sam Schimmel_Tikahtnu Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

Summary: Sam Schimmel, representing the Tikahtnu Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, opposes the proposed changes to the Federal Board of Subsistence, specifically the removal of public participants. He argues that the proposal fails to adequately represent the interests of tribal members and Alaskans, and he requests the addition of three tribal seats, an extension of the scoping period, and the preservation of existing Regional Advisory Committees (RACs).
