Please Note: For brevity, the Alaska
Department of Transportation & Public Facilities will be referred
to simply as "DOT&PF" in the following text.
Department Copyright Notice:
Subject to fair use, such as limited copying for purposes of scientific
research or criticism, the unauthorized copying and posting of material
contained within a department publication or web page to a non-DOT&PF
hard publication, web page or other electronic publication may constitute
copyright infringement. A person seeking to copy material from a
department web page or hard publication to a non-DOT&PF web
page or publication must first obtain permission from the department.
Downloading of web materials for uses allowed under fair use, such
as making a paper copy for subsequent reading is permitted without
department authorization and approval, but republication is prohibited.**
The Alaska Department of Transportation
& Public Facilities’ authority to claim copyright protection
for its original works of authorship derives from (Alaska Statutes)
AS 16.05.050(2), 16.05.050(8), and AS 44.99.400. Copyright protection
begins automatically from the moment the work is created in fixed
form and begins without any formality, process, or application.
In keeping with changes in copyright law in 1987, the standard copyright
notice (e.g., "© 2001 Alaska Department of Transportation
& Public Facilities") is not required to establish copyright,
nevertheless, we have attempted to include a copyright notice on
all of the department's web pages to inform users of DOT&PF’s
copyright. Users of this website should not assume that pages, materials,
or graphics found on this website without any copyright notice are
unp rotected and free to copy, as this may not be the case.
If you are not sure whether
the Fair Use provision of the Copyright Act would allow copying
a needed item or material, request copies or copying permission
from the department (specifically the DOT&PF Commissioner’s
Office or the appropriate division directors or webmasters) before
using DOT&PF materials.
As an alternative to reposting
our materials on other web sites we encourage the use of one or
more of the following web techniques: (1) sites can link to our
own pages containing those materials or information, (2) create
coding such that a NEW browser window will open displaying our appropriate
web page (A HREF=" " . . . target="_blank" or
target="_new"), or (3) write to us and request that specific
data or information that is currently not posted to our site be
added to our site so links can be established to our original material
on our site. For materials that we are unable to post immediately
(for your site to link to), you may inquire about licensing those
materials for posting to your own web site.
The use of "frames" to reproduce/display
our web pages/site on an external website is prohibited.
When requesting permission to copy, republish, or reprint material
from DOT&PF, prepare a letter of request that includes the following:
(1) explain the nature of the request (i.e., your intended use and
its duration), and (2) include pertinent source information (e.g.,
year, volume, number, edition, pages or portions of a page, URL
of the web page, and/or nature of the information or data) that
clearly identifies the material.
Review of your request may
take some time. If you receive no immediate response, do not assume
permission has or would have been granted. Contact DOT&PF again
and request a follow-up to your initial inquiry.
DOT&PF reserves the right to revoke any authorization
of use at any time, and use of our materials shall be discontinued
immediately upon written notice from this department.
Documents or materials specified above may not include
the design or layout of this web site. Elements of this web site
are protected by trade dress and other laws and may not be copied
or imitated in whole or in part. No logo, graphic, sound, or image
from DOT&PF’s web site may be copied, republished/reposted,
or retransmitted unless expressly permitted by DOT&PF.
Alteration or Manipulation of Distributed
Electronic Documents and Forms
Documents distributed in an electronic manner
(e.g., Adobe Acrobat documents - .pdf; PostScript files - .eps,
.ps, .prn; word processing documents - .doc, .wp, .rtf, .txt; spreadsheet
documents - .xls, .csv; or hypertext markup language - .htm, .html;
etc.) are not to be altered or manipulated (largely or in part)
and then republished or reposted through any medium without department
approval. Non-approved alteration of our original materials beyond
fair use under the Copyright Act and reposting or duplication of
our electronic documents or files is expressly prohibited.
Adobe Acrobat PDF files require a free viewer available
directly from Adobe.
