I write on behalf of my client, the Arctic Slope Native Association (ASNA), to request a 

hearing in response to the Final Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty issued on June 16, 2015, 

regarding the above-referenced case. 

The Final Notice alleges that ASNA violated the Department of Transportation 

Hazardous Materials Regulations. Specifically, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

reported that ASNA's Anchorage expeditor presented a cargo shipment that contained three 

fiberboard boxes containing 15-ounce canisters of Sprayway Stainless Cleaner and Polisher 

without the proper declaration. 

· ASNA first responded to these allegations on April 15, 2015, indicating that it takes this 

J;llatter. seriously and had conducted an internal investigation into the matter. ASNA also

explained the corrective actions that had been taken to ensure there are no similar occurrences in 

the future. Despite our cooperation and best efforts to resolve this matter, the FAA has proposed 

to assess a considerable fine. ASNA believes this penalty is inappropriate and inequitable given 

the facts alleged and the corrective actions it imposed once informed of these allegations. 

Therefore, I respectfully request a hearing on this matter.
