SUMMARY: On November 21, 2001, the Coast Guard published a notice 
requesting comments on a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) regarding 
the National Coast Guard Museum in New London, Connecticut. During the 
review period, the potential threat from anthrax-contaminated mail 
caused considerable delay in the delivery of mail, the EA was not 
immediately available in the docket, and a comment was received 
regarding more time needed to review references in the EA. Because of 
these factors, the Coast Guard is extending the comment period through 
February 8, 2002.

Docket Management Facility on or before February 8, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 2001, the Coast Guard 
published a notice in the Federal Register (66 FR 58547) requesting 
comments on a draft Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA reviewed the 
proposal to accept a gift of land for purposes of relocating the Coast 
Guard Museum to a site near the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, 
Connecticut. During the initial comment period, the EA was not 
immediately available in the docket, a comment was received regarding 
more time needed to review references in the EA, and the potential 
threat from anthrax-contaminated mail caused considerable delay in the 
delivery of mail. Because of these factors, the Coast Guard is 
extending the comment period through February 8, 2002.

    Dated: January 2, 2002.
