As of Register 203 (October 2012), and acting under
						AS
						44.62.125(b)(6), the
						regulations attorney made technical revisions to 5 AAC 92, replacing former
						5 AAC 92.125 with smaller sections to facilitate

Emergency amendments to
						5 AAC 92.125(b) and (d) took effect on
						March 21, 2008. In making the emergency regulations "permanent", the
						regulations attorney made technical changes, even though the section's history

						5 AAC 92.125(b) and (d) was transferred
