18 Alaska Admin. Code § 36.940
If the department denies a permit, rejects a health certificate, or denies any approval, the owner or person responsible for an animal may request an informal review under 18 AAC 15.185 or may request an adjudicatory hearing under AS 44.62.330 - 44.62.630 (Administrative Procedure Act). An adjudicatory hearing is requested by submitting a request for hearing to the commissioner not later than 30 days after the issuance by the department of the denial or rejection. If a timely request for adjudicatory hearing is received, the commissioner will request that the office of administrative hearings (AS 44.64.010) conduct a hearing and prepare a recommended decision for the commissioner or the commissioner's designee. If the office of administrative hearings declines the request, the department will conduct the hearing.
