This notice of correction is submitted to clarify that this meeting is not a public hearing. The meeting will be an open forum and the public is invited. The place and time for the public meeting have not changed and are indicated below. DATES: Submit written comments on the DEIS on or before November 21, 2003 to Lynne Silva, Reclamation, at the below address. A public meeting will be held to receive comments from interested parties, organizations, and individuals on the environmental impacts of the proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At the meeting, PVWMA staff will make a brief presentation to describe the proposed project, its purpose and need, alternatives, and scenarios for construction and operation. The public may comment on environmental issues addressed in the DEIS. If necessary, due to large attendance, comments may be limited to 5 minutes per speaker. Written comments will also be accepted. Reclamation practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from public disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a respondent's identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public disclosure in their entirety. Dated: October 20, 2003. Frank Michny, Regional Environmental Officer, Mid-Pacific Region. [FR Doc. 03-26982 Filed 10-24-03; 8:45 am]
