                SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice of Wednesday, July 3, 2019, titled
                Deepwater Port License Application: Bluewater Texas Terminal LLC
                (Bluewater), 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 Bluewater Texas Terminal LLC (Bluewater) 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. This extension is due to delays in getting the application
                properly posted to the Federal docket. This Federal Register Notice
