Background
In response to Administrative Order 360, the Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Compliance section is soliciting written and oral comments from affected industries, community organizations, and the general public regarding regulations and materials incorporated by reference in AAC Title 17, Chapter 25, and AAC Title 17, Chapter 90.

The MSCVC is particularly interested in specific ideas for regulatory change that may:

• improve or streamline procedures, application requirements, and review processes, for example reducing the time required to apply for a license, permit, or benefit;
• reduce administrative burdens;
• streamline permitting procedures;
• improve communication procedures;
• provide greater transparency with respect to standards, decision-making, and rationales for application processing; or
• clarify interagency roles.
