Public Comment on the Proposed Rule take place at the CSUN conference
<http://www.csun.edu/cod/conference/2015/sessions/index.php/public/website_pages/view/1>;
on March 5, 9:30 to 11:30. Very strategic.

The Board seeks public comment on the proposed rule as well as a
preliminary assessment of its estimated benefits and costs. The Board
welcomes comment on any aspect of the proposal but is particularly
interested in responses to the more than 40 questions on various topics it
has posed throughout the preamble discussion that accompanies the proposed
text. The rule includes instructions on submitting comments which are due
in 90 days. In addition, the Board will hold public hearings on the
proposed rule that provide another venue for submitting comment:

March 5, 9:30 to 11:30
Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel, Mission Beach A & B
One Market Place
San Diego, CA

March 11, 9:30 to 11:30
Access Board Conference Center
1331 F Street NW, Suite 800
Washington, DC
