Public comment: Written public comments will be considered, and may be submitted to the committee meeting agenda until 5pm on the day prior to the meeting. Public commenters should be alerted that the Council’s role with respect to commenting on legislation is limited and that the purpose of public comment is not to invite discussion on the merits of legislation that goes beyond the scope of the factual and technical presentations that the Council may make. Councils are prohibited from making recommendations intended to provide support for or against specific legislation, including any direct or indirect attempts to influence the introduction, enactment, or modification of Federal and State legislation (50 C.F.R. § 600.227).
