of 1969 (NEPA) as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality

Environmental Policies and Procedures implemented by the Commission. A
Draft EIS was published on June 9, 1995.

Center, at 900 9th Street NW., Room 10. Adequate signs will be posted
to direct meeting participants. Representatives of the National Capital
Planning Commission and District of Columbia Government will be
available from 5 to 7 p.m. to discuss specific concerns. At 7 p.m. a
short formal presentation will precede the public comments. It is
important that Federal, regional, and local agencies, and other
interested individuals and groups take this opportunity to respond to
the concerns set out in the draft EIS. Anyone who wants to speak will
be heard and anyone who so desires may sign up in advance by calling
(202) 724-0174 or in person at the hearing. Speakers will be heard in
the order of signing up. In the interest of time, each speaker will be
asked to limit oral comments to five (5) minutes.
As noted in the Federal Register of June 16, 1995, copies of the
draft EIS are available for inspection at the National Capital Planning
Commission at 801 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite 301 and Suite 1130 of
