&gt;<br>

&gt;call/round of comments yesterday (6 September) for a 21 day public<br>

&gt;closes. That is, extend it from 10 September to 27 September.<br>

&gt;<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;Please let us know if you would like to extend the deadline. If so,<br>
&gt;Grace can assist in preparing a revised announcement extending the<br>
