How to Comment on Board of Fish Proposals

COMMENTS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 17, 2009

After reviewing the proposals published in the Board of Fish book of regulatory proposals, please send written comments to:
ATTN: BOF COMMENTS
Boards Support Section
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
P.O. Box 115526
Juneau, AK 99811-5526
Fax: (907) 465-6094

Written comments received by the November 17th deadline will be presented to board members at the time of the meeting and will be included in the board workbook. Comments received after the deadline may still be presented, but may not be printed in the board workbook. Written comments, as well as public testimony will be accepted during the board meetings.

Written comments become public documents.

When providing written comments to a proposal, list the proposal number that you are referring to and specifically state whether you support or oppose the proposal. This will ensure that your comments are correctly noted for the board members. If you support part of a proposal with certain modifications, please indicate "support as amended" and provide a preferred amendment in writing.

Briefly explain why you support or oppose the proposal. If submitting comments on more than one proposal, DO NOT USE SEPARATE PIECES OF PAPER. Simply begin the next set of written comments by listing the next proposal number.

Format of written comments
Please use 8 1/2" x 11" paper with reasonable margins, allowing for hole punches. Whether typed or handwritten, use dark ink and write legibly.
