Thanks for posting this information. I would like to add to your post to clarify that the language you highlighted regarding public comments is, as stated, applicable only to "major projects." My emphasis in your quote is underlined below.

Step 3: Respond to Public Comments

The Uniform Procedures Act recognizes minor projects and major projects.

If your project is major, then the project is subject to public review, as follows:

A Notice of Complete Application is published by the Department in the Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB). You must also publish this notice in a local newspaper.

The public must submit any comments before the deadline in the Notice, usually either 15 or 30 days after the date the Notice is published, depending on the permit type requested. The Department may ask you to provide responses to the public's comments. Prepare clear and informative responses which address public concerns and seriously consider recommendations. This will reduce the likelihood of a public hearing.
Based on any comments received and on staff's review of the project against permitting standards, DEC decides whether to hold a public hearing. For more information, refer to the Guide for Public Hearings.

Also, the Guide for Public Hearings referenced at the end of the quote notes the following:

"Minor Projects. Applications for minor projects are not normally published in the ENB."
