<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I have read this decision and am curious what others think of the reasoning. I find the last part of the decision (page 13) particularly perplexing. Isn\u2019t it circular to say that an agency
doesn\u2019t have to prepare for every eventuality, especially when there is nothing in the record about privacy concerns, when there wasn\u2019t a reason for people to be concerned about privacy during the notice and comment period? And anyway how is this change not
a substantive rule that affects individual rights and obligations when it affects individuals\u2019 privacy rights?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
