STATE OF ALASKA                                                                 BILL NO. LL 0117
2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill would repeal the Ocean Ranger program as well as the $4 per berth fee imposed on all large commercial
   passenger vessels with 250 lower berths or more.
   Ocean Rangers are hired by a contractor, not directly by the Department of Environmental Conservation, and minimal staff
   time is required to administer the contract. Eliminating this program will not have significant impacts on the Departments
   regulation of cruise ships in Alaska waters. Department permitting and compliance staff will still monitor cruise ships for
   compliance with state wastewater and air quality permits and regulations through records reviews, inspections in port,
   opacity monitoring, and vessel tracking.
