Pursuant to Section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), the Department of the Navy has prepared and filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to evaluate homeport facilities for three NIMITZ-Class aircraft carriers. In accordance with these laws and regulations, this notice announces that the public comment period will extend until November 12, 1998. Public hearings on the DEIS currently scheduled for September will be moved to October to provide additional time for public review prior to the hearings. Public notices will be published in the Federal Register, local papers, and mailed to recipients of the DEIS regarding the new meeting dates.
