On July 24, 2014, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) published Notices of Preparation and Notices of Intent (NOPs/NOIs) for the receipt of public agency comments regarding the preparation of environmental documentation for the Palmdale to Burbank and Burbank to Los Angeles high-speed rail project sections. At the same time we requested comments from all stakeholders.

In its continued efforts to ensure comprehensive agency and public participation, the comment period has been extended to Friday, September 12. The extension is a result of stakeholder interest, time extension requests and the Authority’s commitment to engagement with both agencies and the public during the advancement of these important high-speed rail project sections.

We appreciate those who have already submitted comments, and encourage those who have not yet commented to do so during this extended period. As always, public comments about these project sections and their environmental documentation are welcome at any time and will be considered in development of the project section studies.
