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
