Public Participation You can make a difference by providing us with your specific comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Mail you comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before March 2, 2001. Comments and protests may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper.
Intervenors play a more formal role in the process.
Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must provide 14 copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
