Discussion
The Request for Information was published on December 4, 2023. 88
FR 84157. The original comment period will close on March 4, 2024.
However, the Coast Guard has been notified that several stakeholders
would like more time to prepare their comments for the Request for
Information. 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, Coast Guard is extending the comment period by 60 days, until May
3, 2024.
Dated: February 28, 2024.
D.S. Tulis,
Director, Emergency Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
