[52 Pa.B. 2597]

 The Delaware River Basin Commission (Commission) will hold a virtual public hearing on Wednesday, May 11, 2022. A public business meeting will be held the following month on Wednesday, June 8, 2022. Both the virtual public hearing and the public business meeting are open to the public. The virtual public hearing will be conducted remotely. The public business meeting will be held both remotely and in-person at The Chase Center on the Riverfront, 815 Justison Street, Wilmington, DE 19801, in the Center's Dravo Auditorium. Details about the remote platforms for the two events and any COVID protocols for the in-person public business meeting venue will be posted on the Commission's web site at www.drbc.gov, at least 10 days prior to the respective meeting dates.

 Public hearing. The Commission will conduct the virtual public hearing remotely on May 11, 2022, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Hearing items will include draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges and other projects that could have a substantial effect on the basin's water resources and resolutions: (a) adopting the Commission's Water Resources Program Fiscal Year (FY) 2023—2025; (b) approving the Commission's FY 2023 Expense Budget; and (c) providing for the signatory parties' contributions for support of the Commission's FY 2023 Expense and Capital Budgets.

 A list of the projects scheduled for hearing, including project descriptions, will be posted on the Commission's web site at www.drbc.gov, in a long form of this notice at least 10 days before the hearing date.

 Written comments on matters scheduled for hearing on May 11, 2022, will be accepted through 5 p.m. on Monday, May 16, 2022.

 The public is advised to check the Commission's web site periodically during the 10 days prior to the hearing date, as items scheduled for hearing may be postponed if additional time is needed to complete the Commission's review. Items also may be added up to 10 days prior to the hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the public is asked to be aware that the details of projects may change during the Commission's review, which is ongoing.

 Public meeting. The public business meeting on June 8, 2022, will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include: adoption of the minutes of the Commission's March 9, 2022, business meeting; announcement of upcoming meetings and events; a report on hydrologic conditions; reports by the Executive Director and the Commission's General Counsel; and consideration of any items for which a hearing has been completed or is not required.

 After all scheduled business has been completed and as time allows, the public business meeting will be followed by up to 1 hour of open public comment, an opportunity to address the Commission on any topic concerning management of the Delaware River Basin's water resources outside the context of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing.

 There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the record at the June 8, 2022, public business meeting on items for which a hearing was completed on May 11, 2022, or a previous date. Commission consideration on June 8, 2022, of items for which the virtual public hearing is closed may result in 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. Deferred items will be considered for action at a public meeting of the Commission on a future date.

 Advance sign-up for oral comment. Individuals who wish to comment on the record during the virtual public hearing on May 11, 2022, or to address the Commissioners informally during the open public comment portion of the public business meeting on June 8, 2022, are asked to sign up in advance through EventBrite. Links to EventBrite for the virtual public hearing and the virtual public business meeting will be posted at www.drbc.gov at least 10 days before each meeting date.

 Addresses for written comment. Written comment on items scheduled for hearing may be made through the Commission's web-based comment system, a link to which is provided at www.drbc.gov.
