primarily for receiving input from the 

public. We invite all interested 

individuals, organizations, and agencies 

to attend one or both of the meetings, 

and to assist staff in identifying 

particular study needs, as well as the 

scope of environmental issues to be 

addressed in the environmental 

document. The times and locations of 

these meetings are as follows:

Initiate scoping of the issues; (2) review 

and discuss existing conditions and 

resource management objectives; (3) 

review and discuss existing information 

and identify preliminary information 

and study needs; (4) review and discuss 

the process plan and schedule for prefiling activity that incorporates the time 

frames provided for in Part 5 of the 

Commission’s regulations and, to the 

extent possible, maximizes coordination 

of federal, state, and tribal permitting 

and certification processes; and (5) 

discuss the appropriateness of any 

federal or state agency or Indian tribe 

acting as a cooperating agency for 

development of an environmental 

document. 

Meeting participants should come 

prepared to discuss their issues and/or 

concerns. Please review the PAD in 

preparation for the scoping meetings. 

Directions on how to obtain a copy of 

the PAD and SD1 are included in item 

n. of this document.
