As part of that proposed action, we solicited comments on the proposed rule, a draft environmental assessment (EA), and an initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) over a 90-day comment period, which was scheduled to close on October 23, 2024. Comments previously submitted do not need to be resubmitted, as they will be fully considered in the agency's proposed action.
