Providing Oral or Written Comments at SAB Meetings

    It is the policy of the Science Advisory Board to accept written 
public comments of any length, and to accommodate oral public comments 
whenever possible. The Science Advisory Board expects that public 
statements presented at its meetings will not be repetitive of 
previously submitted oral or written statements. Oral Comments: For 
teleconference meetings, opportunities for oral comment will usually be 
limited to no more than three minutes per speaker and no more than 
fifteen minutes total. Deadlines for getting on the public speaker list 
for a meeting are given above. Speakers should both e-mail their 
comments to the DFO in MSWord and WordPerfect formats (suitable for 
IBM-PC/Windows 95/98) and provide 5 paper copies of their comments and 
presentation slides for distribution to the reviewers and public at the 
meeting. Written Comments: Although the SAB accepts written comments 
until the date of the meeting (unless otherwise stated), because this 
is a conference call meeting, any comments to be mailed to the 
Subcommittee in advance of the meeting should be received in the SAB 
Staff Office by noon at least a week before the meeting. E-mailed 
comments will be accepted until the day before the meeting, although 
earlier submission is encouraged; these should be sent in both MSWord 
and WordPerfect format (suitable for IBM-PC/Windows 95/98).
