SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as lead agency, and in cooperation

with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has prepared a Draft Supplement

(Supplement) to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the

TransColorado Gas Transmission (TransColorado) project on federal lands

in Colorado and New Mexico.

An amendment to the Notice of Availability for the Draft Supplement

was published on February 2, 1998 (Volume 63, Number 21, Page 5400-

5401) in the Federal Register. In that amendment, the date on which

written comments on the Draft Supplement must be postmarked or

submitted was incorrectly shown as being March 10, 1998. This Notice

amends the date on which written comments on the Draft Supplement must

be postmarked or submitted. The correct date on which written comments

on the Draft Supplement must be submitted or postmarked is no later

than March 18, 1998, to coincide with the date the public comment

period on the Draft Supplement ends. This Notice also includes the date

and starting time of the public meeting on the Draft Supplement to be

held in Grand Junction, Colorado. The Amendment published in the

Federal Register on February 2, 1998 for the Draft Supplement omitted

the date of the Grand Junction meeting. The Grand Junction meeting will

be held on February 19, 1998, at 7:00 pm at the Holiday Inn, 755

Horizon Drive in Grand Junction, Colorado. Written comments on the

Draft Supplement may be submitted at the Grand Junction meeting and two

other public meetings to be held on February 17, 1998 at 7:00 pm at the

Double Tree Inn, 501 Camino del Rio in Durango, Colorado, and on

February 18, 1998 at 7:00 pm at the Ponderosa Restaurant, 108 South 8th
