AGENCY:

ACTION:

SUMMARY:
On September 20, 2013, the Department of the Navy (DoN) published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 57845) announcing the scheduling of two public meetings on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Introduction of the P-8A Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft into the U.S. Navy Fleet. As a result of the recent government shutdown and the uncertainty of the duration of the shutdown, both meetings were cancelled by the DoN. This notice announces the rescheduling of the two public meetings and extends the public comment period for the Draft SEIS from November 4, 2013 to December 2, 2013.
