Subject:                                     Extending the RPS Class 1 & Class 2 hearings

 

 

Dear Mr. Judge: Thank you for your efforts to obtain public comments on this rule change. I testified at the Amherst hearing and emailed you my written testimony. I was unable to attend the Springfield hearing, ironically because of chronic fatigue and labored breathing. I’m sure in Springfield there are many who would have attended had their health, work and family demands permitted.  But there are others who just found out  about these important changes. I am requesting you extend the deadline for submitting testimony for the following reasons:

 

- Notice of the proposed changes in the RPS Class I and RPS Class II regulations was made unexpectedly, to a limited number of people, and with virtually no attention in the news media. Very few people even knew about it til too late. Many people have only recently learned about the proposed changes and have had difficulty finding out where to get information and how to comment.

- We are all just starting to understand the consequences of these actions on our ecosystem and there is now growing public interest in this issue.

- The proposed changes are extensive and complex, requiring a significant amount of time understand and analyze, especially when it's not one's area of expertise. For the average citizen, there has not been time to read, review, and develop comments on these complicated changes.

- Given the last rescheduled hearing in Springfield was only two days before the deadline for comment, it seems an unreasonable time crunch. This hearing received significant attention, and this is how many people first learned about the issue. At best, these people have had only a few days to read the extensive proposed changes and submit their comments.

- Considering all this, I urge you to extend the deadline for public comment for another 30 days

 

Thank you
