   (a) The DEIS shall include:

   (1) A concise description of the proposal, the nature of the area affected,
   its  uses,  and  any  specific  feature  of  the area that has special
   environmental significance;

   (2) An analysis of the proposal, and reasonable alternatives exploring the
   important consequent advantages and/or disadvantages of the action and
   indicating the direct and indirect effects and their significance in terms
   of the short and long-term uses of the human environment.

   (b) When a DEIS and supplements, if any, are prepared, the Commission shall
   send five copies of the Statement, or a summary, to the Office of Federal
   Activities,  Environmental  Protection  Agency.  Additional copies, or
   summaries,  will  be  sent  to  the appropriate regional office of the
   Environmental Protection Agency. Public Notice of the availability of the
   DEIS  will  be  published in the Federal Register by the Environmental
   Protection Agency.

   (c) When copies or summaries of the DEIS are sent to the Environmental
   Protection Agency, the copies or summaries will be mailed with a request for
   comment to Federal agencies having jurisdiction by law or special expertise,
   to the Council on Environmental Quality, to the applicant, to individuals,
   groups  and  state and local agencies known to have an interest in the
   environmental consequences of a grant, and to any other person who has
   requested a copy.

   (d) Any person or agency may comment on the DEIS and the environmental
   effect of the proposal described therein within 45 days after notice of the
   availability of the statement is published in the Federal Register. A copy
   of those comments shall be mailed to the applicant by the person who files
   them pursuant to 47 CFR 1.47. An original and one copy shall be filed with
   the Commission. If a person submitting comments is especially qualified in
   any  way  to  comment on the environmental impact of the facilities, a
   statement of his or her qualifications shall be set out in the comments. In
   addition, comments submitted by an agency shall identify the person(s) who
   prepared them.

   (e) The applicant may file reply comments within 15 days after the time for
   filing  comments  has  expired. Reply comments shall be filed with the
   Commission  in the same manner as comments, and shall be served by the
   applicant on persons or agencies which filed comments.

   (f) The preparation of a DEIS and the request for comments shall not open
   the application to attack on other grounds.
