Tired of waiting, I wrote the EPA....And this was the reply:
"Thank you for your interest in the Bristol Bay Watershed. At this time, EPA does not have an estimated timeframe for its decision making process, including consideration of the comments submitted related to the Proposed Withdrawal of the Proposed Determination. EPA received over 1,000,000 comments during the public comment period. As EPA indicated in its July 19, 2017 Federal Register notice, EPA has extended all applicable regulatory deadlines for good cause pursuant to 40 CFR 231.8 to allow for its process and full consideration of the comments submitted."
and so we continue to wait......
