for Alaska
The State of Alaska is extremely large and sparsely populated. The state is
relatively undeveloped with the exception of a few urban areas. There is little
existing infrastructure in the way of roads, railroads, ports, and power generation.
Whereas the contiguous 48 states have well developed power grids, often
originally funded by the federal government. Alaska is struggling to provide
power to its residents and businesses. Federal funding programs for developing
power no longer exist and the applicable regulations are more stringent making
power generation an extra costly obstacle for the State and/or local communities.
If industry chooses to develop power, the federal government imposes stricter
technological requirements that further increase the cost of development in
Alaska. This is particularly concerning in rural Alaska where there are limited
economic opportunities and communities ranks among the poorest in the nation.
The air quality regulations have been developed in the contiguous 48 states with
little regard for the unique conditions of Alaska. Regulations have been set up to
deal with temperate, populated, well developed states. As such, the regulations
and guidelines are not necessarily appropriate for Alaska. It is for situations such
as this that the regulations allow for some range of discretion. The current
federal objective of providing nation-wide consistency counters the State’s right
and need to exercise discretion. It is important that we preserve the right to
apply discretion, and deviation from the national norm to address the unique
conditions in Alaska.
