ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
