DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated January 3, 1 996. David W. Johnston, Ch~ Alaska Oil and Gas Con.~rvation Commission J. David Norton, P.E., Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of the order, or next working day if a holiday or weekend, to be timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in whole or in part within 10 days. The Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the lO-day period.
