In addition to these fees, the department may charge an hourly fee of $53 per hour for time spent on the activity if the department determines that (1) a revised permit application or other revised submittal is substantially incomplete or technically inadequate because the applicant failed to address the deficiencies identified in the department's notification following its review of the original application or submittal; or (2) a requested activity involves complex or controversial legal, technical, or policy issues that exceed those that meet the definition of a standard designated regulatory service under AS 37.10.058 .
