Notice that the PTIAA's Board of Directors are acting as the "Review Board." Don't be surprised if they pass this thing without making any changes favorable to the public interest. If they follow their usual pattern, they will pay only lip service to any concerns we may raise. Still, it's important for us to get your comments on the record.

If you do submit written comments or make an oral presentation, please send us a copy so we can post them for all to see. We will withhold your name and address if you request us to.
Thank you.
