AOGCC proposes 10-day comment period

The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which is considering revising its regulations to include a public comment period for fracking applications, has issued a revision to the proposed regulations.

Changes in the commission’s regulations to allow public comment on hydraulic fracturing applications are at the request of Bob Shavelson, executive director of Cook Inletkeeper. The commission held a hearing Dec. 15; a second hearing is scheduled for March 23.

In a second notice of proposed changes in its regulations, applicable to applications for sundry approvals for stimulation by hydraulic fracturing, the commission said Jan. 25 that it would “post the application on its website. If the application contains confidential information the operator shall submit, for this posting, an additional copy of the application with all confidential information redacted.”

In the proposed regulation the commission said it would accept public comments on fracking applications for 10 days.
