The State of Alaska subsequently adopted the Yukon Management Area Educational Fishing Permit for the Customary and Traditional Harvest of Salmon (5 AAC 93.212).

Alaska Tribes were not consulted on the agreement and have no involvement in the permitting process or management of these permits which are administered by ADF&G.
