Cape Hatteras National Seashore Proposed Rule: Off-Road Vehicle 
Management--Reopening of Public Comment Period

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Reopening of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 55841]]

SUMMARY: We, the National Park Service, are reopening the public 
comment period for the proposed rule to manage off-road vehicle use at 
Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina. The additional 
comment period allows more time for those who may have been affected by 
Hurricane Irene to submit comments.

DATES: Comments must be received before midnight (Eastern Daylight 
Time) on September 19, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by the Regulation 
Identifier Number 1024-AD85, by either of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. 
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail or hand deliver to: Superintendent, Cape Hatteras 
National Seashore, 1401 National Park Drive, Manteo, North Carolina 
27954.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Murray, Superintendent, Cape 
Hatteras National Seashore, 1401 National Park Drive, Manteo, North 
Carolina 27954. Phone: (252) 473-2111 (ext 148).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6, 2011, we published in the Federal 
Register a proposed rule to manage off-road vehicle use at Cape 
Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina. (76 FR 39350) The 60-day 
public comment period for this proposal closed on September 6, 2011. 
Hurricane Irene made landfall in the area of the Seashore on Saturday 
August 27, 2001, resulting in wide-spread damage there, and north along 
the east coast into New England. Because hurricane damage may have 
prevented some affected persons from commenting on the rule, we are 
reopening the public comment period from September 9, 2011 through 
September 19, 2011. We do not anticipate extending the public comment 
period beyond this date due to a court-imposed deadline for completing 
the final rule. If you already commented on the rule you do not have to 
resubmit your comments. Also, if you submitted comments on this rule 
between September 6, 2011 and September 9, 2011 you do not need to 
resubmit them, we will consider any comments received during this 
period.
    Comments submitted through Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov or submitted by mail must be entered or postmarked 
before midnight (Eastern Daylight Time) September 19, 2011. Comments 
submitted by hand delivery must be received by the close of business 
hours (5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time) on September 19, 2011. Comments 
will not be accepted by fax, e-mail, or in any way other than those 
specified above, and bulk comments in any format (hard copy or 
electronic) submitted on behalf of others will not be accepted.
    All submissions must include the words ``National Park Service'' or 
``NPS'' and must include the identifying number 1024-AD85. Comments 
received through the Federal eRulemaking portal at http://www.regulations.gov will be available on the regulations.gov Web site, 
usually without change. Before including your address, phone number, e-
mail address, or other personal identifying information in your 
comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your 
personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any 
time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do 
so. To view comments received through the Federal eRulemaking portal, 
go to http://www.regulations.gov and enter 1024-AD85 in the Keyword or 
ID search box.

    Dated: September 6, 2011.
