As such, there is insufficient time to clear foreign nationals prior to the 23 May site visit; therefore, all attendees must be US citizens or foreign national that have been issued a permanent resident card issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If you choose to review and comment on the documents, please send your comments by email to: [email protected] and [email protected] so they are received by 7:00am, Pacific Time, on Monday, 11 June 2018. Please note that of particular interest to the Government are ways to reduce the performance period so that the impact to the navigation lock users is minimal. The Government will review comments during the week of 18-22 June, and will target the week of 25-29 June to have individual conversations with each firm about their comments on the industry review package. Conversations may be by phone or in person. Please indicate your ability to participate during that week, including your preferred dates and times. Please note that participation in this review is strictly voluntary, and the Government will not reimburse any associated costs.
