By Federal Register notice of Wednesday, July 3, 2019, titled Deepwater Port License Application: Texas Gulflink LLC, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), in coordination with the Maritime Administration (MARAD), announced the intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) as part of the environmental review of the Texas GulfLink LLC (Texas GulfLink) deepwater port license application. Publication of that notice began a 30-day scoping process, announced the date and location of a public scoping meeting as well as requested public participation to assist in the identification and determination of the environmental issues to be addressed in the EIS. During the Texas GulfLink public scoping meeting held in Lake Jackson, Texas on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, USCG and MARAD advised that the public scoping period would be extended. This extension is due to delays in getting the application properly posted on the docket. This Federal Register Notice announces the date of the extended scoping period.
