Summary

Alaska Land Status Technical Corrections Act of 1991 - Amends the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act to: (1) modify the Fort Davis land allotment; and (2) subject such land to valid existing rights and an easement for the Iditarod National Historic Trail. Amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) to authorize an allotment applicant who had a valid application pending before the Department of the Interior on December 18, 1971, and whose application remains pending as of the date of the enactment of this Act, to amend the land description to describe land other than land the applicant originally intended to claim, if: (1) the application pending before the Department either describes land selected by, tentatively approved to, or patented to the State of Alaska or otherwise conflicts with an interest in land granted to that State by the United States prior to the filing of the allotment application; (2) the amended land description describes land selected by, tentatively approved to, or patented to Alaska of approximately equal acreage to substitute for the land originally described in the application; and (3) the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources for Alaska, acting under the authority of State law, has agreed to reconvey or relinquish the land described in the amended application to the United States. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to accept conveyance or relinquishment from Alaska of the land described in the amended application. Specifies that a real property interest distributed by a native corporation to a shareholder of such corporation pursuant to a program to provide homesites to its shareholders shall be deemed conveyed and received under ANCSA, provided that certain conditions are met, including that alienability of the corporation's Settlement Common Stock has not yet been terminated under provisions of such Act. Directs the Secretary to execute such instruments as necessary to release the condition that specified lands (including Beaver Airport) revert to the United States if such lands are not developed, or cease to be used, for airport purposes. Modifies the boundary of the Chugach National Forest, Alaska. Requires the Secretary to convey specified land in Alaska to the Rabbit Creek Lions Club. Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to convey to the University of Alaska all U.S. interests in the lands of the University's Agricultural Experiment Station and Fur Farm Experiment Station. Allows, at the option of the native corporation, Settlement Common Stock to be issued to descendents of Natives. Amends the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act to transfer the management of Sitkalidak Island to the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Requires the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to release a reverter clause on land conveyed to the State of Alaska in Igivgig, Alaska, to allow the land to be disposed of for purposes other than an airport. Specifies that native corporations are: (1) disadvantaged business enterprises and minority business enterprises for purposes of implementing Federal Small Business Administration programs; and (2) allowed shareholder hiring preference.
