Tips for Submitting Comments
Submitting substantive and concise public comments is one of the most important aspects of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The most effective comments are those that provide useful information to the Action Proponent for this project. For instance, submit comments if you find:
- An error in the analysis that may affect the conclusions
- New information that would change the analysis and conclusions
- Any peer-reviewed scientific literature that should be considered in the analysis
- Something that should be clarified
General recommendations to keep in mind when making comments on any NEPA project or document:
- Support statements with details. It is helpful to focus on a particular problem or issue, instead of making broad statements.
- Back up your statements with explanations, facts, and references, as appropriate.
- Be as specific as possible with your comments and refer to page numbers and paragraphs.
- Focus comments on the subjects discussed in the Amended Analysis.
- Submit your comments within the timeframes announced to ensure that your concerns are considered and addressed in the final document.
- Request to be included on the project mailing list to receive notification of project updates.
- Become familiar with the contents of the Draft Amended Analysis, and with the 2018 Final Environmental Impact Statement for EA-18G “Growler” Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Complex, Washington.
