Why is the public comment period for the State of Hawai‘i only 30 days? How will the State of Hawai‘i ensure that all comments submitted prior to June 8th will be considered?
Comments submitted during the entire comment period will be considered by all agencies. Although the official State comment period occurs during the last 30 days of the Federal comment period, in accordance with State regulations from the Office of Environmental Quality Control, DLNR will review, consider and address public comments received during the 75-day comment period. All public comments are being submitted to one location for review, analysis, and response and will be considered by all three managing agencies, including those submitted during the public meetings.
