Just want to let everyone know that the Navy has extended the public comment deadline on its proposed Undersea Warfare Training Range (USWTR). The comment period was set to expire next week, on 28 December. But, in response to requests from Congressmen, Senators, state officials, and the public, the deadline has been extended to 30 January. A copy of the Navy's Draft Environment Impact Statement, which is the basis for comment, is available at projects.earthtech.com/USWTR/EIS/DEIS.htm. The Navy's proposal would establish a range off North Carolina, Virginia, or Florida, in which more than 160 antisubmarine warfare exercises would be conducted each year.
