So as we started on that process, we determined that with our one of our primary goals in the revision to be adding language to allow carbon offset projects within the state forest, we might need to make additional changes that we hadn't originally presented to the public as part of this amendment. And so in July of this year, this past summer, we published a public notice announcement that specified that we would be revising policy to allow timber harvest in areas where it had previously been prohibited. And that that was different policy change than had originally been presented. And so we decided to resume that scoping period and allow an extended opportunity for the public to provide Input in this scoping period. Before moving on to agency review.
