A question I have is why the push for the regulation change when the DEIS/EIS hasn't been completed? There is the tight deadline for the DEIS (November 19) and the regulations are scheduled for final action in February with public input due by December 1. The DEIS inputs need to be reviewed and any changes incorporated in the final EIS. Seems to me that the regulation changes are putting the cart before the horse and might be best put on hold pending the final EIS.
