How to Request a Public Scoping Meeting
In some cases, the agency proposing the project/action (the "sponsoring agency") will schedule a Public Scoping Meeting automatically. However, if the Scoping Notice indicates that no Public Scoping Meeting is scheduled, the sponsoring agency might still schedule a Public Scoping Meeting, at its discretion, or if twenty-five persons or an association having not less than twenty-five persons requests such a meeting within ten days of the publication of the Scoping Notice in the Environmental Monitor. To request a Public Scoping Meeting, you need only send correspondence making such a request to the name and address indicated in the Scoping Notice.
If a Public Scoping Meeting is scheduled, it will be held not less than ten days following the notice of the proposed project/action in the Environmental Monitor. The public comment period will remain open for at least five days following the Public Scoping Meeting.

Your request for a Public Scoping Meeting should be sent to the sponsoring agency at the address indicated in the Scoping Notice in the Environmental Monitor. Do not send your requests to the Environmental Monitor or the Council on Environmental Quality. If you have questions about the Public Scoping Meeting or the scoping process, look for the "For More Information" contact in the Scoping Notice.
