Im on an Omnibus Act road; do I still need a right-of-way permit?
Under the Omnibus Act, at statehood, the federal government provided rights of way to the State of Alaska for certain roads and highways. The State of Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) administers the Omnibus Act right of way for highway purposes. For access to property that is adjacent to the roadway, DOT issues and requires driveway permits (follow this link for more information) If your access to a park area is confined to an Omnibus Act road you will not need a National Park Service right-of-way permit. If you need to cross park areas once you leave the road right of way, you may need the permit. If this situation applies to you, contact the park superintendent. Omnibus Act easements are generally much wider than the roadbed. The easement for through roads is 150 feet each side of the centerline; for feeder roads, 100 feet each side of the centerline; and for local roads, 50 feet each side of the centerline.
