Comments on Standards

CODA provides opportunity for stakeholders to submit comments on select standards under review. When CODA determines that public input is needed, CODA opens a public portal and hosts a hearing, allowing individuals, institutions, and organizations to share feedback. This approach ensures that those affected by the proposed standards have an accessible place to offer their perspectives.
