Following are NRC's pre-registration instructions:
REGISTRATION:
Persons interested in providing oral comments at upcoming NRC public comment meetings are encouraged to register no later than 3 days prior to the meeting in question; however, registration will be accepted at the meetings, as well. Please note that individual oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who register.
NRC will accept written comments any time during the meeting [as well as anytime until the final public comment deadline on Nov. 27th via such means as email, web form, snail mail, and fax].
