Oral comments presented at the public comment meetings will be given the same consideration as written comments received by mail before the close of the public comment period on December 24, 2007.

As with previous public meetings on the Gulf Crossing Project, attendees will be asked to provide their name and address so that any project-related environmental information issued by the Commission may be mailed to all attendees. Additionally, those wishing to provide oral comments will be asked to put their name on a Speakers List. Depending on the number of individuals wishing to provide oral comments, speakers may be asked to limit their presentations to 5 minutes in order that all speakers may be accommodated.
