                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21, 2018, the Coast Guard
                published a notice of study and request for comments for the Port
                Access Route Study: Alaskan Artic Coast (83 FR 65701). The comment
                period in that document closed September 1, 2019. On September 4, 2019
                (84 FR 46501), the Coast Guard published a document extending the
                public comment period until January 30, 2020. On January 13, 2020 (85
                FR 1793), the Coast Guard published a document extending the public
                comment period until June 30, 2020. On July 6, 2020 (85 FR 40155), the
                Coast Guard published a document reopening the public comment period
                until September 30, 2021. In this action, the Coast Guard is providing
                notice that the public comment period is reopened until March 31, 2022.
                The Coast Guard has reopened the comment period to provide adequate
                opportunity for public meetings in impacted Arctic communities, given
                COVID-19 impacts to travel. These discussions are vital to the Port
                Access Route Study and necessary to creating a well-informed proposal.
                The Port Access Route Study remains a high priority for the Coast
                Guard, critical to maintaining waterway safety in the Arctic. Documents
                mentioned in this notification, and all public comments, are in our
