    It has come to my attention that 30 or more comments against the ﹰCyprus ﹰMﹰOﹰU extension have been inadvertently entered under the Peru docket. This is not too surprising since the webpage notice of the hearing mentions both the Cyprus and Peru MOUs, but only provides a link to the Peru docket. Can anything be done to move these important commements to the correct docket?

    I noticed that and contacted Prof. Gerstenblith of CPAC. They will make sure all go in the correct docket. Best, Peter
