SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Reopening of Comment Period The comment period will be reopened through November 29, 2013. Background On July 18, 2013, we (NMFS) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to designate critical habitat for the Northwest Atlantic Ocean loggerhead sea turtle Distinct Population Segment (DPS) (Caretta caretta) within the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and a proposed determination that no marine areas meet the definition of critical habitat within the jurisdiction of the United States for the North Pacific Ocean DPS. The comment period for this action ended Monday, September 16, 2013. The comment period is being reopened to provide additional opportunity for public comment. Specific areas proposed for designation include 36 occupied marine areas within the range of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean DPS. These areas contain one or a combination of nearshore reproductive habitat, winter area, breeding areas, and migratory corridors. We are also asking for comment on whether to include as critical habitat in the final rule some areas that contain foraging habitat and two large areas that contain Sargassum habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service addressed terrestrial areas (nesting beaches) in a separate document (78 FR 18000; March 25, 2013). We are soliciting comments from the public on all aspects of the proposal, including information on the economic, national security, and other relevant impacts. We will consider additional information received prior to making a final designation. Public Hearings We held hearings regarding this proposed rule in Wilmington, NC on September 9, 2013, and in Morehead City, NC on September 10, 2013. Due to budget constraints, we are unsure whether we can hold additional public hearings. However, we are considering requests for additional hearings. Requests for public hearings must be made in writing (see ADDRESSES) by November 14, 2013. If we are able to hold an additional public hearing, a notice detailing the specific hearing location and time will be published in E:\FR\FM\30SEP1.SGM 30SEP1

of IMP, should be expanded beyond high consequence areas (HCA) and, 
with respect to gas transmission pipeline facilities, whether applying 
IMP requirements to additional areas would mitigate the need for class 
location requirements. PHMSA has received two requests to extend the 
comment period to allow stakeholders more time to evaluate the notice 
of inquiry. PHMSA concurs with this request and is extending the 
comment period from September 30, 2013, to November 1, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 1, 2013, PHMSA issued a notice of 
inquiry (78 FR 46560), seeking public comment on whether applying the

requirements for gas transmission pipelines. It should be noted that 
the notice dated August 1, 2013, was incorrectly identified as a 
``Notice of proposed rulemaking'' instead of the correct identifier, 
``Notice of inquiry.''
    The notice of inquiry was published in response to Section 5 of the 
Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011, 
which requires the Secretary of Transportation to evaluate and issue a 
report on whether IMP requirements should be expanded beyond HCAs and 
whether such expansion would mitigate the need for class location 
requirements.
    The American Petroleum Institute (API) and American Gas Association 
(AGA), on September 23, 2013, and September 24, 2013, respectively, 
requested that PHMSA extend the notice comment period deadline from 
September 30, 2013, to November 1, 2013, to give API and AGA members 
enough time to share the notice with their membership and to collect 
their members' responses and comments for docket submission.
    PHMSA concurs with API and AGA's request and is extending the 
comment period from September 30, 2013, to November 1, 2013. This 
extension will provide sufficient additional time for commenters to 
submit their comments.
