Underground Storage Tank Worker Certification

The Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing staffs the underground storage tank worker certification program. The Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development adopts regulations to carry out laws governing underground storage tank workers in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary actions against people who violate licensing laws.

Fraud Alert: Impersonation of Licensing Investigations Unit

Some licensees have recently reported being contacted by individuals falsely claiming to represent the Professional Licensing Investigations Unit. These callers or emailers allege that the licensee’s name is associated with criminal activity in multiple states.

Please be advised: These communications are fraudulent.
If you receive such a message and are unsure about its legitimacy, do not respond directly. Instead, contact the Investigations Unit by email at Investigations@Alaska.Gov. Be sure to include:

  • Your full name
  • Your license number
  • A brief description of your inquiry

Statutes and Regulations

Alaska Statutes are passed by the Legislature. Regulations (also called the Alaska Administrative Code) are rules adopted by the Department to implement, interpret, and make specific the statutes. Both statutes and regulations have the force of law.

AS 46.03 specifically applies to underground storage tank workers. AS 08.01 - 08.03 and regulations 12 AAC 02 apply to all professions regulated by the division.

Proposed regulations are advertised in Alaska newspapers and we invite public comment on them.
