[NAGDU] NAGDU Submission for the DOT Comments Form?

[Leslie Hamric]

I did submit a comment or I mentioned being a member of Nagu and NFB. I mentioned how I felt about the fact that we have to do the service forms in the first place. However, I did remain anonymous because I did not want to give out my contact information since this is a public forum.

It seems the search brings back everything having to do with that specific docket number.  But entering comments is a seemingly more complicated form with more additional information requested.  And there's one of those I'm Not A Robot check boxes.
