Public Comment from July 18, 2025

July 2025
Sample of Public Comment Received on Proposed Priorities
 

The July 2025 Compilation of Public Comment uses bookmarks as its table of contents. A bookmark is a navigation link that displays in the side panel within Adobe Acrobat (example). Some browsers open the bookmarks panel by default within the browser window. If you cannot access the bookmarks panel within the browser window, it is recommended that you save the PDF and reopen it in Adobe Acrobat for easier navigation.

The Commission reviews and catalogs all public comment submissions for future reference and official recordkeeping purposes. A representative sample of public comment is carefully selected, redacted, and posted online to provide the public with the kind of information considered by the Commissioners during their deliberations. 

User Tips for Mobile Devices: The Compilation of Public Comment is more easily navigated on a desktop. Hyperlinks below may not take mobile users to a specific letter and the bookmarks panel may not be accessible on mobile devices.
