SusitnAK gathers them in one place, sorts them by agency, and explains each one in plain language: what is happening, why, and how and when you can respond.

What is a public notice?

A public notice is an official announcement a government agency must make before it acts, so the people who may be affected can find out in time to weigh in. Alaska agencies post them when they:

  • propose new or changed regulations
  • review permits and applications for mining, water rights, land use, and air or water quality
  • sell, lease, or grant rights to state land and resources
  • hold public meetings and hearings
  • seek bids and proposals for state contracts

Why the State has to publish them

Public notice keeps government decisions open and gives residents a fair chance to be heard. Several laws require it:

  • Alaska Constitution, Art. VIII, §10: no sale or lease of state lands “without prior public notice.”
  • AS 44.62.190: at least 30 days’ notice before a regulation is adopted, changed, or repealed.
  • AS 44.62.310 (Open Meetings Act): reasonable public notice of open government meetings.
  • Permit and resource laws for water rights, mining, oil spill plans and more.
  • AS 44.62.175: the Alaska Online Public Notice System, where notices are posted.

About SusitnAK

SusitnAK is a public-information resource. It exists to make government action in Alaska easier to follow, and to make it easier for Alaskans to take part in decisions that affect them.

Where the information comes from

All information on this site is culled from public information that is regularly available to any member of the public. It comes from notices posted by State agencies on the State of Alaska Online Public Notices system, which the Office of the Lieutenant Governor maintains. SusitnAK does not use any private, restricted, or non-public data.

Active and archived notices

A notice is active while the State lists it as current and its archive date has not passed. After that it moves to the agency's archive, where it stays available for reference.

About the summaries

Each notice page has a plain-language summary that explains the reason for the notice, the action being taken, how and when the public can respond, and any public meetings. Summaries are generated automatically from the notice text and are not legal advice. Before you act, always confirm deadlines and instructions in the official notice, which is linked from every page. See the legal disclaimer.
