signed by Representative Porter, Chair, appears below:

SB 308                                                                       
"It is the intent of the House Judiciary Committee that the director           
interpret the language at Sec. 2, AS 38.05.035(e)(1)(A) of CSSB
308(FIN) am, which provides in pertinent part, "...the scope of the            
review and finding may address only reasonably foreseeable,                    
significant effects of the uses proposed to be authorized by the               
disposal," to provide the director the discretion to consider other            
factors, with clear guidance, however, that he/she is not required to do       
so.  If the facts and circumstances of a specific disposal suggest to the      
director that the scope of the review should be expanded, the director         
will have the authority to do so.                                              
                                                                               
It is further the intent of this Committee that the Department of Natural      
Resources undertake the drafting of regulations or proposed statutory          
language, whichever the Department deems most appropriate, to create           
lists of criteria, analogous to the list of criteria at AS 38.05.035(g) for    
oil and gas disposals, for other disposals governed by CSSB 308(FIN)           
am should that bill pass.  Finally, it is also the Committee's intent that     
the Department of Natural Resources coordinate its creation of these           
lists of criteria with the Division of Governmental Coordination to            
facilitate the outreach and broad involvement of all interested parties        
in drafting the lists for disposals other than for oil and gas."               
                                                                               
                                                                               
The Judiciary Committee recommends adoption of the Senate Letter of            
Intent (page 3853 of the Senate Journal).
