Sec. 384.9  How does the Corps of Engineers receive and respond to comments?

    (a) The responsible Corps official follows the procedures in 
Sec. 384.10 if:
    (1) A state office or official is designated to act as a single 
point of contact between a state process and all federal agencies, and
    (2) That office or official transmits a state process recommendation 
for a program selected under Sec. 384.6.
    (b)(1) The single point of contact is not obligated to transmit 
comments from state, areawide, regional or local officials and entities 
where there is no state process recommendation.
    (2) If a state process recommendation is transmitted by a single 
point of contact, all comments from state, areawide, regional, and local 
officials and entities that differ from it must also be transmitted.
    (c) If a state has not established a process, or is unable to submit 
a state process recommendation, state, areawide, regional and local 
officials and entities may submit comments to the responsible Corps 
official.
    (d) If a program or activity is not selected for a state process, 
state, areawide, regional and local officials and entities may submit 
comments to the responsible Corps official. In addition, if a state 
process recommendation for a nonselected program or activity is 
transmitted to the responsible Corps official by the single point of 
contact, such official follows the procedures of Sec. 384.10 of this 
part.
    (e) The responsible Corps official considers comments which do not 
constitute a state process recommendation submitted under these 
regulations and for which such official is not required to apply the 
procedures of Sec. 384.10 of this part, when such comments are provided 
by a single point of contact or directly to such official by a 
commenting party.
