SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 9, 2021, the Coast Guard published a 
request for comments regarding the consolidation of certain redundant 
Coast Guard boat stations. The Coast Guard solicited comments 
specifically on the consolidation of Stations-Small Scituate, MA; 
Holland, MI; North Superior, MN; and Beach Haven, NJ. The public 
comment period was initially set to expire on August 3, 2021, but due 
to the disruption caused by the global pandemic and requests by local 
partners for additional time, the Coast Guard believes it would be 
beneficial to extend the deadline for public comments to ensure the 
Coast Guard has the benefit of a complete record. The Coast Guard is 
therefore extending the deadline to submit public comments to no later 
than 11:59 Eastern Time on September 22, 2021.
    This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

    Dated: August 2, 2021.
James B. Rush,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Office of Boat Forces.
