We recommend you indicate in advance if you would like to testify at the hearing. To ensure that everyone has the opportunity to speak, public testimony is limited to 3 minutes.
All members of the public are free to submit written comments regarding the proposed draft rules at any time prior to and during the hearing. An additional opportunity to submit written comments after the hearing will be announced before the closing of the hearing. All written comments received during the comment period become part of the official rulemaking record and are posted online. We will redact apparent personal identifiable information, non-governmental email addresses, and cellular telephone numbers from submissions before posting, unless otherwise directed by the contributor.
