  "scopeCaveat": "This is the complete current substantive text of 3 AAC 52, Article 1, Gas Utilities: seven current rules and repealed section 3 AAC 52.050 inventory-only. It is a bounded state gas-utility corpus, not all Alaska pipeline, environmental, siting, tariff, right-of-way, spill-prevention, or federal law.",
  "applicabilityCaveat": "The article applies to gas utilities under Regulatory Commission of Alaska jurisdiction and permits waivers. PHMSA states that Alaska does not participate in the federal-state pipeline safety program, so these utility rules are not represented as a PHMSA-certified state enforcement program or as replacing federal oversight.",
  "incorporationCaveat": "3 AAC 52.080 defines the adopted Minimum Federal Safety Standards as 49 CFR Part 192 revised January 1, 1972. This fixed and obsolete incorporation date is preserved exactly; current federal Part 192 must not be silently substituted when determining Alaska-law requirements.",
