													 contents of the EID to potential applicants prior to initiation of planning. The checklist and guidelines are
													 located on OWRB's website at
http://www.owrb.ok.gov/financ-ing/faforms.php
.

											  applicant will hold a public hearing on the proposed project and the EID, and provide the Board with a
											  transcript of the hearing. The Board will provide guidance to the applicant regarding the contents of the
											  hearing notice and of the hearing. The hearing will generally be advertised at least thirty (30) days in
											  advance in a local newspaper of general circulation. Concurrent with the advertisement, a notice of the
											  public hearing and availability of the documents will be sent to all local, state, and federal agencies and
											  public and private parties that may have an interest in the proposed project. Included with the transcript
											  will be a list of attenders, and written testimony, and the applicant's responses to the issues raised. The
