Anchorage center; IFR pilots inbound to jnu and air carrier operations all need this information as soon as possible. Pilots may need to divert to an alternate airport. Summery -- violation of 7110.65. Non-compliance of letter of agreement between anchorage center and jnu AFSS. Jnu tower has a history of handing their duties to jnu AFSS at tower closure.
