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.

Principal Transportation Planner, Port Authority New York and New 
Jersey.
