I just saw this...it's new for 2017. Reservations are open as of 9 AM today at recreation.gov.

For anyone planning an overnight trip in the Lost Coast self-registration permits are no longer an option. From the BLM's King Range Wilderness Page:

BLM Arcata
The Bureau of Land Management will require permits by reservation for overnight use in the King Range Wilderness and Backcountry Management Zone of the King Range National Conservation Area beginning January 9, 2017. Visitors can go to www.recreation.gov to book their overnight wilderness permits. Reservations will cost $6 per permit. The current backcountry permit system, with self-registration at trailheads, will remain in place until Jan. 9.

The recreation.gov page is located here. According to this page there's a daily entry quota of 60 for May 15 through September 15, and 30 for the rest of the year.
