Contact the Commission Appears the link in Great Bender's post above is broken. Here is a working link to gat a message to the Commission.
Vital that we let the Commission know we fully support them in rescinding or repairing the flawed RMP!
The plan has already been submitted to the NOAA.
What can the commission do about it?
One might take a position that the initiative creating the Commission resulted in the Commission having the responsibility for establishing policy for the Department. In my mind this Plan is clearly policy. Insofar as the Plan was not run past the Commission and has not obtained its approval it is not legal. Can NOAA take action on an illegal Plan?
That said, I just received a notice from the Commission that they will be holding a telephonic conference call tomorrow to be briefed on the Plan by Staff. The agenda for the Commission's meeting at Ridgefield has as Item No. 10 on Friday, 19 Jan, a Plan briefing and possible decision.
Maybe I missed the part about public review and input......
But it does appear that the Department is now trying to put the pieces together but this is one of those events that cannot be perceived as a simple procedural oversight.
I sincerely hope that the Commission does not simply rubber stamp the Plan with its obvious flaws.........
