Editor's note: Effective 5/14/92, Register 122, the regulations in 18 AAC 75 were comprehensively reorganized and revised. They replace all previous regulations in this chapter and in 18 AAC 20 (Financial Responsibility), which were repealed simultaneously with the adoption of these regulations. The history line at the end of each section does not reflect the history of that provision before the 5/14/92 effective date of this chapter, nor is the section numbering related to the numbering before that date.

Previous amendments to 18 AAC 20 and to this chapter are on file in the Office of the Lieutenant Governor as follows: Previous amendments to regulations dealing with financial responsibility, which now appear at 18 AAC 75.205 - 18 AAC 75.275, are found at Register 79, 9/9/81; and at Register 103, 8/6/87.

Previous amendments to regulations dealing with oil and hazardous substances pollution control are found at Register 45, 4/15/73; Register 62, 4/23/77; Register 63, 9/16/77; Register 66, 4/19/78; Register 79, 9/9/81; Register 94, 5/2/85; Register 103, 8/6/87; Register 110, 7/89; and at Register 115, 8/17/90.

The regulations in 18 AAC 75.300 - 18 AAC 75.396, grouped under Article 3, effective January 22, 1999 and distributed in Register 149, constitute a comprehensive reorganization and revision of material formerly set out at 18 AAC 75.300 - 18 AAC 75.370, which also had been grouped at Article 3. The regulations at 18 AAC 75.300 - 18 AAC 75.396 replace former 18 AAC 75.300 - 18 AAC 75.370, which were repealed simultaneously with the adoption of these regulations. The history line at the end of each section does not reflect the history of the replaced provisions before January 22, 1999. Some section numbers in this revision were used for previous regulations, but current sections are not necessarily related to previous sections with the same section number. The earlier version of 18 AAC 75.300 - 18 AAC 75.370 may be reviewed at the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and may be found at Register 122, effective May 14, 1992.
