BOEM will accept comments via the internet commenting system regulations.gov, or by regular U.S. mail. Comments submitted by other means may not be considered. BOEM's strong preference is to receive comments via regulations.gov, except when a comment contains proprietary information. Comments should include full names and addresses of the individual submitting the comment(s). Before including personal identifying information in your comment, be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available. While you can ask BOEM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, BOEM cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Even if BOEM withholds your information in the context of this notice, your submission is subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and if your submission is requested under the FOIA, your information will only be withheld if a determination is made that one of the FOIA's exemptions to disclosure applies. Such a determination will be made in accordance with the Department's FOIA regulations and applicable law.
