(d) Before issuing an order under (a)(1), (b), or (c) of this section, the administrator shall give reasonable notice of and an opportunity for a hearing. However, the administrator may issue a temporary order under (a)(1) of this section pending the hearing, which remains in effect until 10 days after the hearing is held and which becomes final if the person to whom notice is addressed does not request a hearing within 15 days after the receipt of notice.

Subject to AS 44.62.570, the filing of the petition for a judgment does not reopen the final order to further substantive review unless the court orders otherwise.
