SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps published an NOI in the Federal 
Register on November 17, 2008 (73 FR 67847) to prepare a Draft EIS 
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act for the proposed 
Gray's Beach Restoration Project. A public scoping meeting was held on 
December 17, 2008 to solicit public input on the scope of analysis; 
significant issues to be evaluated in the Draft EIS; cooperating 
agencies; direct, indirect and cumulative impacts resulting from the 
proposed action; and proposed alternatives. Since that time, the 
project proponent has withdrawn its Department of the Army permit 
application and is no longer actively pursuing the proposed project. 
Therefore, the Corps is withdrawing the NOI to prepare a Draft EIS.

Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army, District Engineer.
