Discussion
The draft PAC-PARS was published on August 26, 2022 (87 FR 52587).
The original comment period closes on October 25, 2022. However, the
Coast Guard has been notified that several stakeholders would like more
time to prepare their comments on the draft study. The Coast Guard has
decided that an extension of the public comment period would be
appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to submit
comments for Coast Guard's consideration. Thus, the comment period is
extended by 14 days until November 8, 2022. This notice is issued under
authority of 46 U.S.C. 70003(c)(1).
Dated: October 6, 2022.
L. Hannah,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Pacific Area Preparedness Division.
