My experience with regulations "comment periods" is that the regulations are a done deal by that time. No turning back. Minds made up.

The regulators simply use the the comments to their advantage to address issues in their favor that they hadn't previously considered. Comments are usually become gifts in favor of their position. Put to good use by their lawyers. Objections are either spun into benefits or dismissed as not applicable.

In other words, comments simply tie up a few loose ends or close a few loop holes not initially considered.

We'll see. My crystal ball hasn't been wrong yet. I'd sure love to be wrong on this one.

Does this mean I'll be keeping Ball Pythons to satisfy my Ophidian Obsession? lol Sure hope not.
