[[Page 68499]]

November 4, 2026. A business meeting will be held the following month 
on Thursday, December 3, 2026. Both the hearing and the business 
meeting are open to the public. The public hearing and the business 
meeting will be conducted virtually.
    Public Hearing. The Commission will conduct the public hearing 
virtually on November 4, 2026, commencing at 1:30 p.m. Hearing items 
will include draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and other 
projects that could have a substantial effect on the basin's water 
resources. A list of the projects scheduled for hearing, including 
project descriptions, along with links to draft docket decisions and 
draft resolutions will be posted on the Commission's website, 
<a href="http://www.drbc.gov">www.drbc.gov</a>, in a long form of this notice at least ten days before 
the hearing date.
    Written comments on matters scheduled for hearing on November 4, 
2026 will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 9, 2026.
    The public is advised to check the Commission's website 
periodically during the ten days prior to the hearing date, as items 
scheduled for hearing may be postponed if additional time is needed to 
complete the Commission's review. Items also may be added up to ten 
days prior to the hearing date. In reviewing docket descriptions, the 
public is asked to be aware that the details of projects may change 
during the Commission's review, which is ongoing.
    Business Meeting. The business meeting on December 3, 2026 will 
begin at 10:00 a.m. and will include: adoption of the Minutes of the 
Commission's September 2, 2026 business meeting; announcements of 
upcoming meetings and events; a report on hydrologic conditions; 
reports by the Executive Director and the Commission's General Counsel; 
and consideration of any items for which a hearing has been completed 
or is not required. The agenda is expected to include consideration of 
the resolutions and draft dockets for withdrawals, discharges, and 
other projects that are subjects of the public hearing on November 4, 
2026.
    After all scheduled business has been completed and as time allows, 
the business meeting will be followed by up to one hour of Open Public 
Comment, an opportunity to address the Commission off the record on any 
topic concerning management of the Basin's water resources outside the 
context of a duly noticed, on-the-record public hearing.
    There will be no opportunity for additional public comment for the 
record at the December 3, 2026 business meeting on items for which a 
hearing was completed on November 4, 2026 or a previous date. 
Commission consideration on November 4, 2026 of items for which the 
public hearing is closed may result in approval of the item as 
proposed, approval with changes, denial, or deferral. When the 
Commissioners defer an action, they may announce an additional period 
for written comment on the item, with or without an additional hearing 
date, or they may take additional time to consider the input they have 
already received without requesting further public input. Any deferred 
items will be considered for action at a public meeting of the 
Commission on a future date.

registration to attend the virtual public hearing and the business 
meeting will be posted at <a href="http://www.drbc.gov">www.drbc.gov</a> at least ten days before each
