97: Time limit for submissions
or “This rule tells you how long people have to share their thoughts about a project before a decision is made.”
You could also call this:

“The people in charge must quickly tell you who sent in comments about your request.”

After people have sent in their thoughts about your application, the group in charge (called the consent authority) will give you a list of all the comments they got. They will do this as quickly as they can after the last day for sending in comments.
