The public meeting will include a brief presentation by DCR, followed by an opportunity for public input. The draft regulations are currently available for viewing at http://www.mass.gov/dcr/news/publicmeetings/policiesandregsupcoming.htm.
The presentation that will be given at the public meeting will be available for viewing shortly on DCR’s website at http://www.mass.gov/dcr/news/publicmeetings/policiesandregsmaterials.htm.
In accordance with requirements of the Massachusetts Secretary of State, the DCR will conduct a formal hearing process, including statewide public hearings and a public comment period, in early 2013.
