Any interested person who would like to be heard or to submit information, data, or arguments are requested to register at the public hearing site (30) minutes prior to the starting time of the public hearing as specified above. If written testimony is to be presented, five copies should be made available to the presiding officer at the public hearing or by mailing or delivering the copies by August 21, 2015, seven days before the hearing, to:
