if individual comments pertain to a 

specific topic being discussed at a 

planned meeting then these statements 

must be submitted no later than five (5) 

business days prior to the meeting in 

question. The Designated Federal 

Officer will review all submitted written 

statements and provide copies to all the 

committee members. 

Public Comments: In addition to 

written statements, the Panel will set 

aside one (1) hour for individual or 

interested groups to address the Panel. 

To ensure consideration of their 

comments, individuals and interested 

groups should submit written 

statements as outlined in this notice, but 

if they still want to address the Panel 

then they will be afforded the 

opportunity to register to address the 

Panel. The Panel’s Designated Federal 

Officer will have a ‘‘Sign Up Roster’’ 

available at the Panel meeting, for 

registration on a first-come, first-serve 

basis. Those wishing to address the 

Panel will be given no more than five 

(5) minutes to present their comments, 

and at the end of the one (1) hour time 

period no further public comments will 

be accepted. Anyone who signs up to 

address the Panel but is unable to do so 

due to the time limitation may submit 

their comments in writing; however, 

they must understand that their written 

comments may not be reviewed prior to 

the Panel’s deliberation. Accordingly, 

the Panel recommends that individuals 

and interested groups consider 

submitting written statements instead of 

addressing the Panel.
