proposed for incorporation by reference. This notification corrects 
both of these issues in order to eliminate any potential confusion 
about the available methods for submitting public comments on the 
proposed rule and for viewing documents proposed for incorporation by 
reference. This notification clarifies the language in the ADDRESSES 
section of the proposed rule by adding bold headings and separating the 
section into two topics, Public comment and Documents incorporated by 
reference. The ``Public comment'' topic provides instructions for 
submitting comments via www.regulations.gov and now contains the 
address for submitting public comments by mail or for hand delivery to 
BSEE.
    The ``Documents incorporated by reference'' topic is revised to
