The agenda for the February 21, 2019, public hearing lists Mr. Todd Shrader, the Carlsbad Field Office Manager, as a Session 1 panelist. However, Mr. Shrader is no longer able to testify. EM-CBFO will therefore not be represented at the hearing.

The Board will hold the hearing record open until the close of business on March 21, 2019. Members of the public who would like to submit written comments should email them to hearing@dnfsb.gov (link sends e-mail) prior to close of business on March 21. If you have any questions about public comment submission, please call the Office of the General Counsel at (202) 694–7000 or (800) 788-4016.
