SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On June 9, 2021, the Coast Guard published a request for comments regarding the consolidation of certain redundant Coast Guard boat stations. The Coast Guard solicited comments specifically on the consolidation of Stations-Small Scituate, MA; Holland, MI; North Superior, MN; and Beach Haven, NJ. The public comment period was initially set to expire on August 3, 2021, but due to the disruption caused by the global pandemic and requests by local partners for additional time, the Coast Guard believes it would be beneficial to extend the deadline for public comments to ensure the Coast Guard has the benefit of a complete record. The Coast Guard is therefore extending the deadline to submit public comments to no later than 11:59 Eastern Time on September 22, 2021.

This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

Dated: August 2, 2021.

James B. Rush,

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Office of Boat Forces.
