Title 11 . Natural Resources
Chapter 84 . (No Regulations Filed)
Section 720. Determination of tracts as competitive or noncompetitive

11 AAC 84.720. Determination of tracts as competitive or noncompetitive

(a) At the conclusion of the call for applications, the commissioner will determine which tracts within the area subject to the call will be disposed of by competitive lease or noncompetitive prospecting permit, after reviewing available geologic information and the response to the call for applications.

(b) The commissioner will, in his discretion, designate any or all tracts for disposal by competitive lease provided at least two applications have been received for the area in response to the call for applications. However, the commissioner will designate for disposal by competitive lease any tracts which received two or more applications in response to the call for applications.

(c) The commissioner will, in his discretion and subject to a determination under AS 38.05.035 (e), issue a noncompetitive prospecting permit under 11 AAC 84.730 for a tract not designated for disposal by competitive lease but receiving an application in response to the call for applications. A tract not designated for disposal by competitive lease and receiving no applications in response to the call for applications is eliminated from further consideration for disposal absent another call for applications including that tract.

(d) The commissioner will, in his discretion, designate an area for disposal by competitive lease and conduct the disposal without a call for applications if the commissioner determines that available geologic information indicates a substantial likelihood of commercial geothermal resources in the area.
