> I believe public comment is super important for these types of projects.

Something I've always wondered: How is it that public comments have power? What stops officials from mostly ignoring them or misconstruing them? And if the comments do have power, what stops vested interests from hijacking them?

I'm not sure about these types of projects but public commenting for the FDA proposed regulations regarding hemp was actually really helpful for the industry.
