New Dates for Close of Public Comment and Protest Periods Due to 
Federal Government Shutdown

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has established new dates 
for certain public comment and protest periods that were ongoing or 
that ended during the Federal Government shutdown resulting from a 
lapse in appropriations, which began on October 1, 2013, and ended on 
October 16, 2013.

DATES: The new dates can be found in the table under the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION section.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please refer to the contact 
information and commenting procedures listed in the original Federal 
Register notices. Web links to the original notices are provided in the 
following table.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before the Federal Government shutdown, the 
BLM published notices in the Federal Register that informed the public 
they could obtain copies of various agency documents on BLM Web sites. 
The notices also contained closing dates for

[[Page 67393]]

public comment periods and the submission of protests. Three of the 
dates originally were set to close during the government shutdown and 
seven others originally were set to close after the shutdown ended.
    The public was unable to access certain documents on the BLM Web 
site during the government shutdown. Accordingly, the BLM announced new 
dates through the issuance of a press release for each of the comment 
periods and protest periods identified in this Federal Register notice. 
Comment periods and protest periods that were set to conclude during 
the shutdown have been adjusted by adding the number of days from the 
beginning of the shutdown to the original due date. These additional 
days were added to the date of the press release notifying the public 
of the new dates. Comment periods and protest periods that were 
originally set to close after the shutdown were adjusted by adding 16 
days, the number of the days of the shutdown. In some cases, the BLM is 
extending comment periods for an additional period of time. Any 
additional extensions were reflected in the new dates provided in the 
individual press releases.
