Haw. Code R. § 11-200.1-25 - Public review requirements for draft environmental impact statements
(a) Public review shall not substitute for
early and open discussion with interested persons and agencies concerning the
environmental impacts of a proposed action. Review of the draft EIS shall serve
to provide the public and other agencies an opportunity to discover the extent
to which a proposing agency or applicant has examined environmental concerns
and available alternatives.
(b) The
period for public review and for submitting written comments shall commence
from the date that notice of availability of the draft EIS is initially
published in the periodic bulletin and shall continue for a period of
forty-five days, unless mandated otherwise by statute. Written comments shall
be received by or postmarked to the accepting authority, and in the case of
applicants, to either the accepting authority or the applicant, within the
forty-five-day comment period. Any comments outside of the forty-five-day
comment period need not be responded to nor considered.
