    The list of projects scheduled for hearing, including project

Additional information related to the proposed rule to provide for the

proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register, the register publications 
of each of the Commission's member states, and at www.drbc.net.

hearing on June 9 will be accepted through the close of the hearing 
that day. After the hearing on all scheduled matters has been 
completed, and as time allows, an opportunity for public dialogue will 
also be provided.
    The public is advised to check the Commission's Web site 
periodically prior to the hearing date, as items scheduled for hearing 
may be postponed if additional time is deemed necessary to complete the 
Commission's review, and items may be added up to ten days prior to the 
hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the public is also 
asked to be aware that project details commonly change in the course of 
the Commission's review, which is ongoing.

    There will be no opportunity for additional public comment at the 
June 10 business meeting on items for which a hearing was completed on 
June 9 or a previous date. Commission consideration on June 10 of items 
for which the public hearing is closed may result in either approval of 
the item (by docket or resolution) as proposed, approval with changes, 
denial, or deferral. When the Commissioners defer an action, they may 
announce an additional period for written comment on the item, with or 
without an additional hearing date, or they may take additional time to 
consider the input they have already received without requesting 
further public input. Any deferred items will be considered for action 
at a public meeting of the Commission on a future date. Items heard 
during the March 10, 2015 Public Hearing on which the Commission has
