Geological Survey ( USGS) National Water Quality Assessment ( NAWQA) program has been collecting pesticide monitoring data from sites across the country since 1991. N methyl carbamate ( NMC) pesticides included in the USGS analytical methods include aldicarb, aldicarb sulfoxide, aldicarb sulfone, carbaryl, carbofuran, Methiocarb, methomyl, oxamyl, and propoxur. With the assistance or Rick Bell of the USGS NAWQA program, the Agency obtained all the USGS monitoring for these NMC pesticides in both ground water and surface water through November 15, 2004. The following tables provide summaries of reported NMC detections for each NAWQA study unit by land use type.

The NAWQA study did not focus on drinking water and the monitoring reflect a range of ambient waters. OPP tried to focus on those sampling sites that fed into drinking water sources or were reflective of drinking water sources in the region. Nor were the study sites targeted to high pesticide or NMC use areas. The monitoring results are most valuable in identifying areas and conditions under which NMC pesticides may be found in ambient waters. Such information is useful in identifying potential vulnerable areas and in evaluating the model estimates where monitoring sites occur in the same area as the exposure scenarios.

a. Surface Water Monitoring Summary Figures II. D. 1.1 through !!. D. 1.4 show the NAWQA Study Units in relation to cumulative carbamate use areas. The monitoring data are listed by the 4 letter study unit identification ( SUID) codes displayed on the maps.

This is only a preliminary summary of N methyl carbamate detections, grouped by study unit and land use. For the revised NMC CRA, the Agency will revise this appendix, ass necessary, to better characterize NAWQA monitoring results and drinking water exposure estimates from the NMC CRA. II.

Ground Water Monitoring Summary The USGS National Water Quality Assessment ( NAWQA) program began in 1990 as an effort to catalog the quality of water resources in the United States by collecting surface and groundwater data in selected watersheds. Chemical, biological, and physical parameters are measured at 59 study units across the United States. In the period between May, 1993 and September, 2003, approximately 6700 groundwater samples were tested for an assortment of carbamate pesticides and metabolites. Most sites were sampled only once, although repeat samples were taken at some locations. Carbofuran and carbaryl were tested for in 6500 of these samples while 9 other compounds including aldicarb and methomyl were tested for in approximately 4200 samples each.

This represents a preliminary summary of the USGS ground water monitoring data from NAWQA.

Aldicarb Aldicarb and its metabolites aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone were tested for in 4223 groundwater samples, resulting in 1 detection of aldicarb ( 0.01 ppb), 22 II. D. 1  Page 19 of 21 detections of aldicarb sulfoxide ( 0.004   1.8 ppb), and 15 detections of aldicarb sulfone ( 0.009   0.141 ppb). Several additional samples were tested for individual compounds with no detections. The large majority of the detections ( 87%) were found in the Southeast, primarily in Georgia and Alabama, although only 27% of the total sampling was carried out in this region. The two highest aldicarb sulfoxide concentrations, 1.8 and 0.26 ppb, were measured outside of the Southeast, in Connecticut and Idaho, respectively. The only detection of aldicarb was found in Indiana. 29 detections ( 76%) occurred in the years 2000 to 2003, despite the fact that only 18% of the sampling was conducted in these years. In part, this can be attributed to improved detection limits for aldicarb sulfoxide in that time period, but this only applies to about a third of these more recent detections. See the tables below for further details on these results.

The highest concentrations of carbofuran were found in agricultural areas in Connecticut in 1993 ( 1.3 ppb) and in California in 1997 ( 0.686 ppb). The largest number of detections were found in the middle Atlantic region, which had 31% of the total detections, although only 11% of the samples were collected in that region.

4259 samples, all but 113 from the same set as carbofuran, were tested for the II. D. 1  Page 20 of 21 metabolite 2 hydroxycarbofuran. Detectable 2 hydroxycarbofuran was found in only one sample, from a mixed use area in Iowa in 1998, which measured 0.07 ppb. Sampling for the metabolite 3 ketocarbofuran did not begin until the year 2000, and so only 763 samples were tested for this compound. There were no detections. For each of the compounds, approximately half of the samples were collected in the Southeast and the Midwest. See the tables below for further details on these results.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The MSRB filed with the Commission a proposed rule change to amend
Rule G-3, on professional qualification requirements, to delete
references to certain temporary regulatory relief,\3\ implemented
during the height of the coronavirus disease (``COVID-19'' or
``pandemic'') (the ``proposed rule change'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Release No. 34-88694 (April 20, 2020), 85 FR 23088
(April 24, 2020) (File No. SR-MSRB-2020-01) (the ``April 2020
relief'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The MSRB has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a
``non-controversial'' rule change under Section 19(b)(3)(A) \4\ of the
Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \5\ thereunder, which renders the proposed
rule change effective upon receipt of this filing by the Commission.
The MSRB would have the proposed rule change become operative on
December 27, 2022.

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the MSRB's
website at https://msrb.org/2022-SEC-Filings, at the MSRB's principal
office, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the MSRB included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The MSRB has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections
A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In 2020, 2021 and 2022, the MSRB provided temporary regulatory
relief to brokers, dealers, and municipal securities dealers
(``dealers'') and municipal advisors (collectively ``regulated
entities'') in complying with certain obligations under MSRB rules in
light of operational challenges due to the pandemic.\6\ Specifically,
with respect to regulatory relief provided from certain professional
qualification standards, the MSRB was guided in part by operational
concerns related to Prometric Test Centers, the physical facilities
used for the MSRB-owned professional qualification examinations.\7\ In
March 2020, Prometric announced that, due to the pandemic, it was
temporarily closing all test center locations in the United States and
Canada through April 15, 2020.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See supra note 3. In 2020, 2021 and 2022, the MSRB provided
and further extended other COVID-19 related temporary relief to
regulated entities for certain compliance obligations under MSRB
rules. See Release No. 34-90621 (December 9, 2020), 85 FR 81254
(December 15, 2020) (File No. SR-MSRB-2020-09), Release No. 34-93435
(October 27, 2021), 86 FR 60522 (November 2, 2021) (File No. SR-
MSRB-2021-06) and Release No. 34-94383 (March 9, 2022), 87 FR 14596
(March 15, 2022) (File No. SR-MSRB-2022-01).
    \7\ The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'') has
been designated to provide test administration services to the MSRB
for the delivery of MSRB-owned professional qualification
examinations. FINRA uses Prometric as its sole vendor for the
delivery of MSRB-owned professional qualification examinations. See
e.g., Release No. 34-75714 (August 17, 2015), 85 FR 50863 (August
21, 2015) (Designation of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority to Administer Professional Qualification Tests for
Associated Persons of Registered Municipal Advisors).
    \8\ See https://www.prometric.com/corona-virus-update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response to the test center closures and in light of other
operational challenges due to the pandemic, such as stay-at-home orders
imposed by many states and the vast number of regulated entities
operating under business continuity plans, the April 2020 relief
extended the time to comply with certain professional qualification
obligations, as follows:
     The date by which an individual functioning in the
capacity as a principal before passing the applicable MSRB-owned
principal qualification examination pursuant to Rule G-3(b)(ii)(D), G-
3(b)(iv)(B)(4) and G-3(c)(ii)(D), as applicable, would be extended 120
days from the time that the MSRB announces that Prometric has resumed
access to its testing centers; thereby, marking the expiration date of
the temporary period.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Rule G-3, Supplementary Material .10-.12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The date by which an individual must complete their
Regulatory Element component of continuing education training,\10\ as
required by Rule G-3(i)(i)(A)(1), would be extended 120 days from the
time the MSRB announces that Prometric has resumed access to its
testing centers; thereby, marking the expiration date of the temporary
period.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Regulatory Element component of continuing education is
a computer-based training program that focuses on dealer compliance,
regulatory, ethical and sales practice standards with the content
derived from common industry rules and regulations for dealers, as
well as widely accepted standards and practices within the industry.
    \11\ See Rule G-3, Supplementary Material .14. This extension
was only for purposes of compliance with MSRB Rule G-3(i)(i)(A)(1)
and was not intended to provide regulatory relief to individuals who
needed to complete Regulatory Element pursuant to the rules of
another regulatory authority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The date by which certain individuals are required to
become qualified with the Municipal Advisor Principal Qualification
Examination (``Series 54'') was extended until November 30, 2021. On
October 11, 2019, the MSRB announced that a municipal advisor
principal, as defined under Rule G-3(e),\12\ had a one-year grace
period, sunsetting on November 12, 2020, to pass the Series 54.\13\ The
MSRB subsequently extended the grace period until March 31, 2021,\14\
and further extended it to November 30, 2021.\15\ These extensions
permitted individuals qualified with the Municipal Advisor
Representative Qualification Examination (Series 50) to continue to
engage in principal-level activities without passing the Series 54
until November 30, 2021.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The term ``municipal advisor principal'' is defined in Rule
G-3(e)(i) to mean a natural person associated with a municipal
advisor who is directly engaged in the management, direction or
supervision of the municipal advisory activities of the municipal
advisor and its associated persons. To become qualified as a
municipal advisor principal a person must, as a pre-requisite, take
and pass the Municipal Advisor Representative Qualification
Examination; and take and pass the Municipal Advisor Principal
Qualification Examination.
    \13\ See MSRB Notice 2019-18 (October 21, 2019) announcing the
launch of the Series 54 exam, which the SEC had approved on November
20, 2018. See Release No. 34-84630 (November 20, 2018), 80 FR 60927
(November 27, 2018) (File No. SR-MSRB-2018-07).
    \14\ See Release No. 34-90621 (December 9, 2020), 85 FR 81254
(December 15, 2020) (File No. SR-MSRB-2020-09).
    \15\ See Release No. 34-92938 (September 10, 2021), 86 FR 51696
(September 16, 2021) (File No. SR-MSRB-2021-05).
    \16\ See Rule G-3, Supplementary Material .13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Firm Element \17\ obligations for calendar year 2020
were deemed satisfied if completed on or before March 31, 2021.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The Firm Element component of continuing education is a
firm-administered training program that requires all regulated
entities to annually evaluate and prioritize their training needs
based on a completed needs analysis. A needs analysis generally
reflects a firm's assessment of its unique training needs based on
various factors, for example, the business activities the firm and
its associated persons engage in, the level of industry experience
the firm's associated persons have and any changes to applicable
rules or regulations.
    \18\ See Rule G-3, Supplementary Material .15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The annual needs analysis and the delivery of continuing
education pursuant to Rule G-3(i)(i)(B) and G-3(i)(ii), as applicable,
was deemed to have been timely completed for calendar year 2020,
provided that the needs analysis and the delivery of continuing
education were completed on or before March 31, 2021.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Rule G-3, Supplementary Material .16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These modified obligations were reflected in Supplementary Material
to Rule G-3. By their terms, Supplementary Material paragraphs .13, .15
and .16 have expired.\20\ The MSRB stated in the April 2020 relief that
it would announce an end date for the temporary relief provided under
Supplementary Material .10 through .12 and .14 by a notice published on
its website.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ In an effort to provide regulated entities the opportunity
to better manage and allocate resources, the MSRB modified the date
by which compliance obligations were due to be completed, under
certain MSRB rules, to March 31, 2021.
    \21\ See supra note 3. Specifically, the MSRB stated it would
publish a notice on its website announcing when Prometric resumes
operations in its testing centers so regulated entities are on
notice of when the 120-day period begins to toll.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Prometric fully restored access to its test centers, thus
permitting individuals seeking to take an MSRB-owned professional
qualification examination to visit any Prometric test center in-person
to take a principal qualification examination.\22\ Therefore, on July
25,

2022, the MSRB published a notice (the ``2022 Notice''),\23\ announcing
that the remaining temporary relief under Supplementary Material .10
through .12 under Rule G-3, which provisions provided temporary relief
for persons designated as municipal securities principals, municipal
securities limited principals, and/or municipal securities sale
principals would expire on August 29, 2022. Accordingly, principals
designated under Supplementary Material .10 through .12, who, under the
rule provisions, were required to be qualified in a representative
capacity with at least 18 months experience functioning as
representatives within the preceding five-year period of such principal
designation, may continue to do so until December 27, 2022, without
taking and passing the appropriate principal qualification examination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ While Prometric test centers are now open, regulated
entities are reminded that, due to the uncertain nature of the
ongoing pandemic, individuals are advised to continue to review
Prometric's website, at https://www.prometric.com/ for any
operational changes that may affect test center access.
    \23\ See MSRB Notice 2022-05 (July 25, 2022) announcing the end
of regulatory relief that extended certain professional
qualification requirements due to COVID-19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The 2022 Notice also announced that the temporary relief from
Regulatory Element requirements for registered persons under
Supplementary Material .14 of Rule G-3 would expire on August 29, 2022.
Accordingly, persons designated under Supplementary Material .14 who
are subject to the Regulatory Element must complete any Regulatory
Element required under Rule G-3 (i)(i)(A)(1) within 120 days of August
29, 2022, or by December 27, 2022--recognizing the stated regulatory
relief was not intended to provide regulatory relief to individuals who
may need to complete Regulatory Element pursuant to the rule of another
regulatory authority; and thereby, may have completed such continuing
education requirements.
    The MSRB intends to have the proposed rule change become operative
on December 27, 2022. This aligns with the provision of allowing 120
days from August 29, 2022, the expiration date of the temporary
regulatory relief under Supplementary Material .10 through .12 and .14
under Rule G-3, for individuals to meet their regulatory obligation.
Thus, upon the operative date of December 27, 2022, the expired
regulatory relief will be deleted from MSRB Rule G-3. The MSRB notes
that, while the temporary regulatory relief related to Supplementary
Material .10 through .12 and .14 expired on August 29, 2022, the MSRB
will continue to monitor the impact of the ongoing pandemic and work in
close coordination with other regulatory and governmental authorities,
as needed, to address any additional pandemic-related issues that may
arise in the future.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ The MSRB notes that while certain professional
qualifications pandemic-related regulatory relief expired on August
29, 2022, other relief remains in place; specifically, the ability
for dealers to continue to conduct office inspections remotely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    Section 15B(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,\25\ provides that the Board
shall propose and adopt rules to effect the purposes of this title with
respect to transactions in municipal securities effected by brokers,
dealers, and municipal securities dealers and advice provided to or on
behalf of municipal entities or obligated persons by brokers, dealers,
municipal securities dealers, and municipal advisors with respect to
municipal financial products, the issuance of municipal securities, and
solicitations of municipal entities or obligated persons undertaken by
brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, and municipal advisors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 15.U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act \26\ provides that the MSRB's rules
shall be designed to: prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices; promote just and equitable principles of trade; foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating, transactions in municipal securities and municipal
financial products; remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market in municipal securities and municipal financial
products; and, in general, protect investors, municipal entities,
obligated persons, and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change to remove outdated references to the
regulatory relief that is no longer applicable would ensure that rule
provisions are clear, accurate, and streamlined, thereby facilitating
compliance and promoting just and equitable principles of trade by
clarifying the regulatory obligations of dealers and municipal
advisors. The removal of expired and outdated references will promote
just and equitable principles of trade by reducing the risk of
potential confusion as to the current state of one or more regulatory
obligations and ensuring that the existing rule provisions are accurate
and understandable by all dealers and municipal advisors.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Exchange Act requires that MSRB rules
not be designed to impose any burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act.\27\ In
fact, the MSRB does not believe that the proposed rule change will have
any burden on competition because the proposed rule change would apply
equally to all regulated entities by deleting references to certain
temporary regulatory relief implemented during the height of the
pandemic for all regulated entities. Regulated entities of all size
would be equitably and proportionately impacted by the proposed rule
change. Therefore, the proposed rule change would not impose any burden
on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Exchange Act.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ Id.
    \28\ The Board's ``Policy on the Use of Economic Analysis in
MSRB Rulemaking'' (``policy''), available at: https://msrb.org/Rules-and-Interpretations/Economic-Analysis-Policy.aspx, maintains
that proposed rule changes filed for immediate effectiveness under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Exchange Act are not subject to the
policy. With such filings, the MSRB usually focuses its economic
analysis exclusively on the burden of competition to regulated
entities. However, the MSRB may include further analysis based upon
facts and circumstances if it believes that such analysis may inform
the rulemaking process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, Section 15B(b)(2)(L)(iv) of the Act requires that
MSRB rules not impose a regulatory burden on small municipal advisors
that is not necessary or appropriate in the public interest and for the
protection of investors, municipal entities, and obligated persons,
provided that there is robust protection of investors against
fraud.\29\ The MSRB believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 15B(b)(2)(L)(iv) of the Act in that, while the
proposed rule change will affect all municipal advisors, including
small municipal advisors, there is no new regulatory burden that
results.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public

interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \30\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \31\ thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of
the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Over the past several years, the role of opioid drugs in treating
chronic pain has been an increasingly common subject of public
discussion. FDA and other policymakers have been at the forefront of
these debates, striving to find a balance between minimizing opioid
drug abuse and misuse, while simultaneously enabling appropriate access
to pain-relieving drugs. The July 9, 2012, approval of the Risk
Evaluation Management Strategy for extended-release (ER) and long-
acting (LA) opioid analgesics is a recent example of FDA's ongoing
commitment to ensuring that the benefits of these types of opioid drugs
continue to outweigh their risks.
    While ER/LA opioid issues have been a particular focus of public
health concern, discussions continue about the proper use of opioid
drugs in general. Over the past several years, the Agency has received
comments, petitions, and informal inquiries concerning the extent to
which opioid drugs should be used in the treatment of pain. In
particular, members of the public and the regulated community have
debated the presence or absence of evidence showing the safety and
efficacy of these drugs as pain relievers in the various populations
for whom they are prescribed. Many have raised issues specific to
particular opioids, such as those pertaining to drug product
composition, specific abuse-deterrence properties, and biological
action. Some have raised broader issues that impact the entire class of
opioid drugs or a large subcategory thereof (e.g., ER/LA opioids), such
as the propriety of controls on drug dosage and duration of
administration or changes in indication and prescribing practices.

II. Purpose and Scope of the Public Hearing

    In light of the ongoing interest in issues related to opioid use,
FDA has decided to hold a public hearing to obtain information--
particularly scientific evidence, such as study data or peer-reviewed
analyses--from expert members of the public on the following questions:

A. Diagnosis and Understanding of Patient Pain

    1. What methods do professionals use to accurately distinguish
between different types of pain (e.g., cancer vs. non-cancer) and their
respective etiologies?
    2. What are the definitions of the terms ``mild,'' ``moderate,''
and ``severe'' when those terms are used to describe symptomatic
conditions such as pain?
    3. How do professionals accurately categorize a patient's pain as
mild, moderate, or severe? For example, what tests or assessments do
they use?
    4. What methods should and do professionals use to accurately
distinguish between short-term pain and chronic pain?
    a. What are and should be the time periods that characterize short-
term pain versus chronic pain?
    b. What are and should be considered the clinical differences
between short-term pain versus chronic pain?
    c. What types of pain, if any, are presumed chronic versus presumed
short term?

B. Understanding and Adhering to the Labels of Pain-Treating Products

    1. How are the words ``indicated for the treatment of moderate to
severe pain'' interpreted and used by practitioners when deciding what
types of treatments (including opioids) are appropriate for treating
patients with pain?
    2. If the indication for opioid drugs were restricted to the
treatment of severe pain only, how would such a change impact:
    a. Prescribing practices?
    b. Patient access to pain medication and patient pain control?
    c. Abuse and misuse of opioid medicines?
    3. If the pain threshold described in the indication (e.g.,
moderate, moderate to severe, severe pain) differed based on the pain's
etiology, how would such an approach impact:
    a. Prescribing practices?
    b. Patient access to pain medication and patient pain control?
    c. Abuse and misuse of opioid medicines?

C. Limiting Opioid Prescription and Use

    1. Limits on exposure to opioid drugs.
    a. What data, if any, exist that would support or oppose the
establishment of a maximum daily dose for opioid drugs? FDA is
interested in drug safety or efficacy data in particular.
    b. What data, if any, exist that would support or oppose a
difference in maximum daily dose for opioid drugs based on pain
etiology (e.g., cancer vs. non-cancer pain)? FDA is interested in drug
safety or efficacy data in particular.
    c. What method(s), if any, should be used to establish a maximum
daily dose of opioid drugs?
    d. What effect(s), if any, would a maximum daily dose for opioid
drugs have on the following:
    i. Prescribing practices?
    ii. Patient access to pain medication and patient pain control?
    iii. Abuse and misuse of opioid medicines?
    2. Limits on duration of use of opioid drugs.
    a. What data, if any, exist that would support or oppose the
establishment of a maximum duration of continuous treatment with opioid
drugs? FDA is interested in drug safety or efficacy data in particular.
    b. What data, if any, exist that would support or oppose a
difference in maximum duration of continuous treatment with opioid
drugs based on pain etiology (e.g., cancer vs. non-cancer pain)? FDA is
interested in drug safety or efficacy data in particular.
    c. What method(s), if any, should be used to establish a maximum
duration of continuous treatment with opioid drugs?
    d. What effect(s), if any, would a maximum duration of continuous
treatment with opioid drugs have on the following:
    i. Prescribing practices?
    ii. Patient access to pain medication and patient pain control?
    iii. Abuse and misuse of opioid medicines?

III. Attendance at and/or Participation in the Public Hearing

    If you wish to attend the hearing or make an oral presentation
during the hearing, you must register by submitting either an
