We invite the public and local, State,

any of the requested permits, we will 

take into consideration any information 

that we receive during the public 

comment period. 

You may submit your comments and

analyses of, the applicable laws and 

regulations. 

B. May I review comments submitted by 

others? 

You may view and comment on 

others’ public comments at https://

C. Who will see my comments? 

If you submit a comment at https://
