SUMMARY: The Coast Guard’s October 4, 2011 notice of the October 18, 2011, GLPAC meeting inadvertently failed to contain an explanation for its publication less than 15 calendar days prior to the meeting, as required by General Services Administration rules 41 CFR 102– 3.150(b). The reason the notice was published only 14 calendar days prior to the meeting was a Coast Guard administrative delay. The Coast Guard regrets the delay in publication, but notes that the notice was published 14 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:07 Oct 05, 2011 Jkt 226001 days prior to the meeting and was publicly available on the Federal Register Web site 19 calendar days prior to the meeting. Additionally, all known interested parties were made aware of the meeting with sufficient time for planning purposes. It is critical that this meeting be held on the announced meeting date because the advisory committee members have limited availability for the remainder of the calendar year. Delays in committee discussions could have significant ramifications for ongoing Coast Guard studies and evaluations on the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maintaining the current meeting schedule allows the Coast Guard to continue deliberations and forward progress regarding the bridge hour study, a key component of the statutory ratemaking authority of the Great Lakes Pilotage program. If you have been adversely affected by the one-day delay in publishing the notice, contact Mr. David Dean (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) and the Coast Guard will make every effort to accommodate you.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's October 4, 2011 notice of 
the October 18, 2011, GLPAC meeting inadvertently failed to contain an 
explanation for its publication less than 15 calendar days prior to the 
meeting, as required by General Services Administration rules 41 CFR 
102-3.150(b). The reason the notice was published only 14 calendar days 
prior to the meeting was a Coast Guard administrative delay. The Coast 
Guard regrets the delay in publication, but notes that the notice was 
published 14 days prior to the meeting and was publicly available on 
the Federal Register Web site 19 calendar days prior to the meeting. 
Additionally, all known interested parties were made aware of the 
meeting with sufficient time for planning purposes.
    It is critical that this meeting be held on the announced meeting 
date because the advisory committee members have limited availability 
for the remainder of the calendar year. Delays in committee discussions 
could have significant ramifications for ongoing Coast Guard studies 
and evaluations on the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maintaining the 
current meeting schedule allows the Coast Guard to continue 
deliberations and forward progress regarding the bridge hour study, a 
key component of the statutory ratemaking authority of the Great Lakes 
Pilotage program.
    If you have been adversely affected by the one-day delay in 
publishing the notice, contact Mr. David Dean (see FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT) and the Coast Guard will make every effort to 
accommodate you.
