Comment Procedure

    Instructions for submitting written comments are included in the 
draft EIS and the Notice of Availability that were issued on March 30, 
2007. These documents can be found on the FERC Internet website as 
discussed below. Oral comments presented at the public comment meetings

mail before the close of the public comment period on May 21, 2007.
    As with previous public meetings on the Elba III Project, attendees 
will be asked to provide their name and address so that any project-
related environmental information issued by the Commission may be 
mailed to all attendees. Additionally, those wishing to provide oral 
comments will be asked to put their name on a Speakers List. Depending 
on the number of individuals wishing to provide oral comments, speakers 
may be asked to limit their presentations to 5 minutes in order that 
all speakers may be accommodated. Transcripts of the public comment 
meetings will be prepared and placed into the FERC's public record.
