The commissioner may, either upon a request made in the form required by regulation, or in the exercise of discretion without request, authorize or require temporary or emergency rendering of service or temporary or emergency abandonment, reduction, or impairment of service by a pipeline of a lessee without compliance with AS 38.35.050 - 38.35.100. Nothing in this section prevents a carrier from temporarily suspending operations in the event of an emergency which threatens public health or safety; however, notice shall be given the commissioner as soon as possible.
