Description
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is proposing a series of amendments to Title 18, Chapter 50 of the Alaska Administrative Code to align state air‑quality regulations with current federal Clean Air Act requirements. The changes modernize permitting, streamline public‑notice processes, remove outdated provisions, and update references to federal regulations and the Don Young Port of Alaska. Stakeholders are invited to review the proposed rules, submit written comments, and may request an oral public hearing. Key dates include a comment deadline of December 11 2026 and an optional teleconference hearing on December 1 2026. All comments become public records.
