(2) <br /> <br />For projects where federal involvement might <br />quire preparation of a federal EIS, the Lead <br />Agency under CEQA should consult with the ap- <br />Propriate federal agency on the need for an EIS. <br />If both an EIR and EIS are needed, the documents <br />should be prepared Jointly where federal regula- <br />tions or procedures allow, or the EIR should be <br />prepared pursuant to Section 4.3. Preparation <br />of a separate EIR and EIS for the same project <br />should be avoided, if possible. <br /> <br />(b) Notice of Completion <br /> <br />(i) <br /> <br />As soon as the draft EIR is completed, a Notice' <br />of Completion shall be filed with the Secretary <br />of the Resources.

A form for this notice is pro- <br />vided in the Appendices hereto.

The notice to affected <br />agencies and to the public shall indicate that. <br />comments must be Submitted to the Director of <br />Planning within 30 days of posting in order for <br />said comments to be evaluated in the preparation <br />of the final EIR. If any public agency or person <br />who is consulted with regard to a draft EIR fails <br />to comment within the time specified, it shall be <br />assumed, absent a request for a specific extension <br />of time, that such agency or person has no comment <br />to make. <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br />At the same time that the Director files a Notice <br />of Completion with the Secretary of Resources, <br />notice of the completion of the draft EIR shall <br /> <br />-26- <br /> <br /> <br />
