Background
On November 21, 2014, the FHWA published in the Federal Register
notice of the availability of the Tier 1 DEIS at 79 FR 68242. That
Federal Register notice listed February 27, 2015, as the end date for
the comment period. Due to severe weather conditions throughout the
project area, four public hearings were rescheduled. Accordingly, the
FHWA and the PANYNJ are extending the public comment period for the
Cross Harbor Freight Program Tier 1 DEIS until Friday, March 20, 2015.
The comprehensive public hearing schedule, the DEIS, and list of
DEIS repositories are available on the project Web site:
www.crossharborstudy.com.
Extended Deadline for Public Comment Period: Comments on the Tier 1
DEIS should be received no later than Friday, March 20, 2015.
