information for future decision-making 

and provide ample opportunity for 

interested and affected parties to 

comment, BOEM is extending the

Public Comment Procedure 

BOEM will accept comments in one of 

two formats: internet commenting 

system or regular mail. BOEM’s 

preference is to receive comments via 

the internet commenting system. 

Comments should be submitted using 

only one of these formats, and include 

full name and address of the individual 

submitting the comment(s). Comments 

submitted by other means may not be 

considered. BOEM will not consider 

anonymous comments. BOEM will 

make available for public inspection in 

their entirety, all comments submitted 

by organizations and businesses, or by 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives of organizations or 

businesses. 

BOEM’s practice is to make 

comments, including the names and 

addresses of individuals, available for 

public review. An individual 

commenter may ask that BOEM 

withhold from the public record his or 

her name, home address, or both, and 

BOEM will honor such a request to the 

extent allowable by law. If individuals 

submit comments and desire 

withholding of such information, they 

must so state prominently at the 

beginning of their submission. 

Commenting via Internet 

Internet comments should be 

submitted via the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

these instructions to submit their 

comments via this Web site:
