review and comment process should include:
Definitions of project types that require review;
Definitions of project types that require military participation at pre‐application
meetings;
Points of contact necessary for coordinating reviews;
A formal procedure for requesting and receiving comments;
A standard timeline for responses, keeping in mind mandated review time
periods as specified by state law and local procedures; and
Mandated notice to the AZARNG regarding all public hearings for projects that
require review.
The MOA should also state that the AZARNG may provide technical information on
items being considered, but shall not directly vote to approve, conditionally approve,
or deny a project or development application/proposal.
The MOA in its entirety should also contain a review timeframe and updated as
deemed appropriate by the JLUS Implementation Committee (see Strategy COM‐1A).
