If the department determines that an area of the state that is exempt from vehicle registration under AS 28.10.011(10) should no longer be exempt from vehicle registration due to connection to the land-connected highway system or because of an annual average daily traffic volume greater than 499 as determined by a traffic count conducted by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, the department will

1. (1) remove the area from the published list required by AS 28.22.011(b);
2. (2) notify the governing organization and law enforcement in the affected area of the requirement to title and register vehicles in accordance with AS 28 and this chapter;
3. (3) issue a public service announcement using local media broadcasting, publishing in a newspaper, and posting in public buildings in the affected area; and
4. (4) allow a vehicle owner in the affected area 120 days to comply with the title and registration requirements of AS 28 and this chapter.
