Alaska Statutes.

Title 8. Business and Professions

Chapter 54. Big Game Guides and Related Occupations

Section 750. Use Area Registration.

AS 08.54.750. Use Area Registration.

(a) At least 30 days before conducting big game hunting services within a guide use area, a registered guide shall inform the department, in person or by registered mail on a registration form provided by the department, that the guide will be conducting big game hunting services in the use area.

(b) A registered guide may not register for, or conduct big game hunting services in,

(1) more than three guide use areas during a calendar year; or

(2) a guide use area that is outside of a game management unit for which the registered guide is certified under AS 08.54.600 .

(c) Notwithstanding (a) and (b) of this section, a registered guide may register to conduct big game hunting services within a guide use area at any time before beginning operations in the guide use area and may conduct big game hunting services in a guide use area, or for a big game species in a guide use area, that is not one of the three guide use areas for which the registered guide has registered under (b) of this section if the Department of Fish and Game has determined by regulation that it is in the public interest to suspend the registration requirements for that guide use area or for all guide use areas in a game management unit or game management subunit for a big game species within those guide use areas.

(d) Notwithstanding (b) of this section, a registered guide who is registered in three guide use areas may also register for and conduct big game hunting services in a portion of one additional guide use area on federal land adjacent to a guide use area in which the registered guide is already registered if the department finds that the portion of the adjacent guide use area for which the registered guide is seeking to be registered would otherwise remain unused by a registered guide because the boundaries of guide use areas do not coincide with boundaries of federal big game guide concession or permit areas.

(e) In this section, "guide use area" means a geographic area of the state identified as a guide-outfitter use area by the former Big Game Commercial Services Board and described on a set of maps titled Guide-Outfitter Use Area Maps, dated June 22, 1994.
