Correction and Comment Period Extension

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of Correction and Extension of the Public Comment 
Period.

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

SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice of Friday, February 7, 2020, titled 
Deepwater Port License Application: SPOT Terminal Services LLC, the 
U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), in coordination with the Maritime 
Administration (MARAD), announced the availability of the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the SPOT Terminal Services 
LLC (SPOT) deepwater port license application for the export of oil 
from the United States to nations abroad. Publication of that notice 
began a 45-day public comment period, which began on February 7, 2020 
and ended on March 23, 2020. On April 28, 2020, the same notice was 
inadvertently published in the Federal Register. Additionally, both 
notices announced the date and location of an informational open house 
and public meeting that was held in Lake Jackson, Texas, on February 
26, 2020, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and was preceded by an open 
house from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, nationwide impacts of the 
public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Services 
Act in response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the President's 
declaration of a national emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and 
state and local actions in response to COVID-19, have impacted the 
public's ability to assemble and provide feedback on the SPOT deepwater 
port license application DEIS. Therefore, this notice supplants the 
April 28, 2020 notice and extends the public comment period for the 
SPOT DEIS 30-days from the publication date of this Federal Register 
notice.
