I did give a method of posting without registering in my original post.
It is:
"Note, you CAN submit comments without registering. On the 'Surface
Transportation Reauthorization' page, click on 'Everyone Else's
Comments' and then at the top of the page 'ES Submit'. You may either
register there or submit an unregistered comment from that page. It is
'docket' number 12170."
