SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

During the partial shutdown of the Federal government from December 22, 2018, through January 25, 2019, 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 period (including comments on environmental documents) is due no later than February 4, 2019, unless otherwise ordered by the Board. 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. Filings submitted during the shutdown should not be resubmitted. All filings (including recordations) submitted during the shutdown will be considered filed on January 28, 2019, provided all filing requirements have been met.

Decided: January 28, 2019.
