This is an Appraisal Request Form and supporting Title Status Report for a Native Allotment tract in Alaska managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The request, dated May 7, 2026, seeks an appraisal of a 160-acre property (U.S. Survey No. 14622) located in Valdez, Alaska (Land Area 990, Allotment AA-95912). The current owner is James R. Howard, a member of the Aleut Region, and the property is held in restricted fee status with no previous appraisal on record. The transaction type is listed as an advertised or negotiated sale, with access to the property available by boat. No improvements are to be appraised, and restrictions status is unknown. Required attachments have been provided, including the current Certified Title Status Report (dated March 31, 2026), U.S. Survey documentation officially filed June 26, 2024, and the Certificate/Restricted Deed. Contact for the request is Amanda J. Gonzalez at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The Title Status Report confirms that the tract is held by the United States in trust with restricted ownership interests exclusively held by James Rodney Howard (Aleut Region, born June 6, 1944). The title is current, complete, and without defect. Encumbrances affecting the property include perpetual rights-of-way for ditches or canals under the Act of August 30, 1890, a mineral reserve retained by the United States Bureau of Land Management (excluding sand and gravel), and subject to valid existing rights. The property is serviced by Chugachmiut and located in the certified Alaska village of Tatitlek with FFS ID 477.
