Share something specific.
Personal experience and local knowledge can provide context that may not otherwise appear in technical filings.
Consider including:
what you have experienced or observed;
how you, your family, your organization, or your community are affected;
a specific fact, concern, question, or example; and
any information you believe is missing from the record.
What would you like FERC to consider?
Explain the issue, information, alternative, condition, or other consideration you believe FERC should evaluate as part of the licensing proceeding.
Your comment does not need to be long. A clear, specific comment can be valuable.
