On November 12, 1992, the FAA issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to assess the impact of changes in aircraft flight patterns caused by implementation of the Expanded East Coast Plan over the State of New Jersey. The comment period on the DEIS closed on November 23, 1993. On September 30, 1994, the FAA issued a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) to afford the public an opportunity to review and comment on (1) a proposed mitigation measure, (2) analysis of the proposal by the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAN) to route aircraft departing Newark International Airport over the ocean twenty four hours a day, and (3) other new and updated information developed in response to comments on the DEIS. The SDEIS was issued for public comment for 60 days, on September 30, 1994.
