register, letters to individual households, or personal contacts by 
field staff.

information and decisions concerning the corrective action plan are made 
available to the public for inspection upon request.

agency may hold a public meeting to consider comments on the proposed 
corrective action plan if there is sufficient public interest, or for 
any other reason.
    (d) The implementing agency must give public notice that complies 
with paragraph (a) of this section if implementation of an approved
