If you submitted comments against the draft, please review these reports to ensure your comments have been included in the database correctly. Please contact me to report any discrepancies.
Note that the comment IDs are not numbered sequentially in this particular database, i.e. there are blocks of comment IDs that are missing. Each comment has a unique ID and hence the IDs still serve the intended purpose. However, I wanted to point this out and confirm that there are 138 comments despite the fact that the maximum comment ID is 156.
Best regards,
Adam Healey
