The scoping meetings will be 

structured in two parts: First, an 

informal discussion ‘‘workshop’’ period 

that will not be recorded; and, second, 

the formal taking of comments with 

transcription by a court stenographer. 

The meetings will provide interested 

parties the opportunity to view 

proposed project exhibits, ask questions, 

and make comments. Applicant, DOE, 

and any cooperating agency 

representatives will be available to 

answer questions and provide 

additional information to attendees to 

the extent that additional information is 

available at this early stage of the 

proceedings. 

Persons submitting comments during 

the scoping process, whether orally or 

in writing, will receive either paper or 

electronic copies of the Draft EIS, 

according to their preference. Persons 

who do not wish to submit comments or 

suggestions at this time but who would 

like to receive a copy of the document 

for review and comment when it is 

issued should notify Dr. Jerry Pell as 

provided above, with their paper-orelectronic preference. 

EIS Preparation and Schedule 

In preparing the Draft EIS, DOE will 

consider comments received during the 

scoping period. As noted above, 

comments can be submitted by various 

means, and will be given the same 

consideration. They can be submitted to 

Dr. Jerry Pell either electronically or by 

paper copy; if the latter, consider using 

a delivery service because materials 

submitted by regular mail are subject to 

security screening, which both causes 

extended delay and potential damage to 

the contents. (Warped and unusable CD 

or DVD discs are common.) 

Additionally, comments can be 

submitted through the project Web site 

established for preparation of the EIS, at 

http://CHPExpressEIS.org. This site will 

also serve as a repository for all public 

documents and the central location for 

announcements. Individuals may 

subscribe to the ‘‘mail list’’ feature on the 

project Web site in order to receive 

future announcements and news 

releases. 

DOE will summarize all comments 

received in a ‘‘Scoping Report’’ that will 

be available on the project Web site and 

distributed either electronically to all 

parties of record for whom we have an 

e-mail address, or by mailing paper 

copies upon request.

requirements? 

4. Session 2—The Government 

Measures to Make Industry 

Obligatory Stockholding Available 

to the Market. 

—What other measures are available 

besides lowering the obligation for 

industry to hold stocks? Does the 

lowering of the obligation need to 

be more focused than just a uniform 

reduction across all companies, for 

all fuels? What is the minimum

duration necessary for the reduction

lowering the stockholding 

obligation?

stockholding ticket contracts be an
