SUMMARY: On September 20, 2013, the Department of the Navy (DoN)

scheduling of two public meetings on the Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Introduction of the P-8A

of the recent government shutdown and the uncertainty of the duration
of the shutdown, both meetings were cancelled by the DoN. This notice
announces the rescheduling of the two public meetings and extends the
public comment period for the Draft SEIS from November 4, 2013 to
December 2, 2013.
