The International Joint Commission (the Commission) invites public comment on a proposed new Order of Approval and Plan 2007 for regulating the outflows from Lake Ontario through the international hydropower project between Cornwall, Ontario and Massena, New York.

Written public comments will become part of a public record that may be posted on the Commission's Web site or otherwise made available to the public. The Commission requests that people who submit comments provide contact information so that the Commission can inform them of the outcome of the process. To protect the privacy of any person submitting comment, the Commission will remove the following identifying information from the incoming communication before making the comment available to the public: e-mail address, street address, post office box, zip code, postal code, telephone number and fax number. The following identifying information will remain part of the record that is made available to the public: name, organizational affiliation, city, and state/province.
