E. Written Comments From Meeting 

Attendees 

(1) Written comments will be 

accepted from the general public and 

meeting registrants anytime up to the 

date of the public meeting at which a 

request is discussed. Comments must be 

sent to the address listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

(2) Meeting attendees may also submit 

their written comments at the meeting. 

(3) Due to the close timing of the 

public meetings, subsequent workgroup 

reconsiderations, and final decisions, 

we are able to consider only those 

comments received in writing by the 

close of the public meeting at which the 

request is discussed. 

IV. Security, Building, and Parking 

Guidelines 

The meetings are held in a Federal 

government building; therefore, Federal 

security measures are applicable. In 

planning your arrival time, we 

recommend allowing additional time to 

clear security. In order to gain access to 

the building and grounds, participants 

must bring government-issued photo 

identification and a copy of your written 

meeting registration confirmation. 

Persons without proper identification 

will be denied access. 

Individuals who are not registered in 

advance will not be permitted to enter 

the building and will be unable to 

attend the meeting. The public may not 

enter the building earlier than 45 

minutes before the convening of the 

meeting each day. 

Security measures will also include 

inspection of vehicles, inside and 

outside, at the entrance to the grounds 

and buildings. In addition, all persons 

entering the building must pass through 

a metal detector. All items brought to 

CMS are subject to inspection. We 

cannot assume responsibility for 

coordinating the receipt, transfer, 

transport, storage, setup, safety, or 

timely arrival of any personal 

belongings or items used for 

demonstration or to support a 

presentation. Special arrangements and 

approvals are required in order to bring 

pieces of equipment or medical devices 

at least 2 weeks prior to each public 

meeting. These arrangements need to be 

made with the public meeting 

coordinator. It is possible that certain 

requests made in advance of the public 

meeting could be denied because of 

unique safety, security or handling 

issues related to the equipment. A 

minimum of 2 weeks is required for 

approvals and security procedures. Any 

request not submitted at least 2 weeks 

in advance of the public meeting will be 

denied. 

Parking permits and instructions are 

issued upon arrival by the guards at the 

main entrance. 

All visitors must be escorted by 

agency staff in order to enter areas other 

than the public areas on the lower and 

first-floor levels in the Central Building.
