- (3) the annual rental in any year for each quarter section claim, leasehold location, or lease based on the MTRSC system
is four times the rental amount for a quarter-quarter section mining claim, leasehold location, or lease in that year.
- (b) A claim, leasehold location, or mining lease located on or before August 31, 1989, is considered to have been first
located on August 31, 1989, for purposes of determining the amount of rental under this section.
- (c) The rental for each year shall be credited against the production royalty under AS 38.05.212
as it accrues for that year.
- (d) The rental amount established under this section shall be revised by the commissioner as provided in this section
based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, Anchorage Metropolitan Area (Semi-Annual Average)
compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor, as revised, rebased, or replaced by that
bureau. The reference base index is the index for January - June 1989, as revised or rebased by that bureau. The rental
amount shall be increased or decreased, as appropriate, by an amount equal to the change in the index described in this
subsection rounded to the nearest whole $5 unit. The commissioner shall calculate the change in the rental amount each
10 years and, if the rental amount must be revised, shall adopt a regulation establishing the revised rental amount. A
revised rental amount applies to a rental payment if the regulation establishing the revised rental amount took effect
at least 90 days before the date the rental payment is due.
- (e) The locator of a new claim or leasehold location in accordance with the MTRSC system or the locator of a non-MTRSC
location claim or leasehold location who amends the claim or leasehold location in accordance with the MTRSC system is
entitled to a reduced rental under this section for the rental year following establishment of the new location or
amendment of a non-MTRSC location. The reduced annual rental is 50 percent of the annual rental that would otherwise be
due in the following rental year.
