3:38:39 PM
SENATOR KIEHL asked if the term "authorize" on page 2, line 23
related to a similar or different issue.
3:39:15 PM
SEAN CLIFTON, Policy and Program Specialist, Division of Oil and
Gas, Department of Natural Resources, Anchorage, Alaska,
explained that the topic in Section 6 is unitization, which
involves an agreement, and the department approves those
agreements. Using the term "approved" [on line 28] as opposed to
the term "authorized" is consistent with the way DNR uses it in
statute and regulation.
SENATOR KIEHL asked if the term "authorize" on page 2, line 23
needed to be changed for the same reason.

"authorize" with "approve" on page 3, line 23.
