Overview

On February 16, 2011, DOT of Transportation (DOT) published a notice of
regulatory review of existing DOT regulations (click here:
DOT-OST-2011-0028-0002 
<http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=DOT-OST-2011-0028-0002> ).
This review is in accordance with Executive Order 13563, "Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review." As part of the notice of review, DOT
announced it will hold a public meeting to discuss and consider the
public's comments. This attached notice provides information on how to
participate in this meeting and opportunities for enhanced public
participation in the review and the public meeting. The public meeting will
be held in the DOT Conference Center's Media Center, located on the ground
floor of 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590. Please note that
the deadline for registering to speak at the public meeting has been
extended to March 7, 2011.

Phone/Web Participation

For those unable to attend the public meeting in person, it will be
broadcast via web streaming (with captioning) and over a listen-only phone
line.

Because the number of people who can participate in web streaming and by
phone is limited, we will provide access in order of date and time of 
registration on March 7, 2011.  Registrants will be given the Web URL or
phone number on March 10, 2011.

USDOT IdeaScale Website Participation

In order to provide the public with alternative means of providing feedback
to DOT in ways that may better suit their needs, we have also created a 
website using IdeaScale that will allow submissions to DOT in a less formal
manner. Participants in this site may submit original ideas, discuss one 
another's ideas and/or agree/disagree with others. To ensure that ideas are
most useful in informing our deliberation and decision process, you should 
include the citation to the regulation on which you are commenting
(e.g. 49 CFR 1.69), a description of any concerns regarding the regulation 
(e.g. it is duplicative, too costly, etc.), and any supporting information
(e.g., the citation to a duplicative regulation or actual cost or benefit
data) that would assist DOT in making a decision).  To go directly to the 
IdeaScale Website use the following link:
