SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

During the shutdown of the Federal government, from October 1, 2013, through October 16, 2013, all deadlines requiring the submission of material to the Board were tolled. The Board is now providing notice that any material due to be submitted to the Board during the shutdown is due no later than October 24, 2013. Should a party to a proceeding believe that further modification to a procedural schedule is necessary, the party should request an extension in that case docket.

Filers who made submissions by mail during the closure should not resubmit them. All submissions received by mail during the closure will be considered filed on October 17, 2013.

This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources.

Decided: October 18, 2013.

Clearance Clerk.
