Deepwater Port License Application: Texas GulfLink LLC; Extension 
of Scoping Period

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of extension of the public scoping comment period.

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

SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice of Wednesday, July 3, 2019, titled 
Deepwater Port License Application: Texas GulfLink LLC, the U.S. Coast 
Guard (USCG), in coordination with the Maritime Administration (MARAD), 
announced the intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) 
as part of the environmental review of the Texas GulfLink LLC (Texas 
GulfLink) deepwater port license application. Publication of that 
notice began a 30-day scoping process, announced the date and location 
of a public scoping meeting as well as requested public participation 
to assist in the identification and determination of the environmental 
issues to be addressed in the EIS.
    In a Federal Register notice dated Wednesday, August 14, 2019, USCG 
and MARAD previously advised that the public scoping period for Texas 
GulfLink would be extended until August 30, 2019. MARAD and USCG have 
determined that a second extension of the public scoping period for the 
GulfLink application is necessary to allow the public and interested 
parties a full 30 days to review the application and provide written 
feedback to the agencies. This second extension is due to delays in 
getting the application properly posted on the docket. This Federal 
Register Notice announces the date of the extended scoping period.

DATES: Comments or related material on the Texas GulfLink deepwater 
port license application must be received by September 24, 2019.
