posted on the signboard of the town. Copies of the draft shall be filed, set
and made available as required in § 617.12.
If the Planning Board determines to hold a public hearing, notice shall
be filed, circulated and sent in the same manner as the notice of completion
14 days before the hearing.
A. The said notice shall also state the place where comments
may be sent and the deadline for the comments.

determines additional time is necessary for the public or other agency review
of the DEIS.
If upon completion of the DEIS or the public hearing the Planning Board
determines that the action will not have a significant effect on the environment,
the action may be processed without further regard to these regulations.
