The Maritime Administration (MARAD) announced a delay in issuing the Record of Decision for the proposed Texas GulfLink Deepwater Port, located off the coast of Brazoria County, Texas. This is because the agency is still processing and reviewing over 44,000 public comments received on the Final Environmental Impact Statement and final public hearing. The delay ensures that all the submitted information and viewpoints are thoroughly evaluated before making a final decision. MARAD's actions are in compliance with the requirements set by the Deepwater Port Act of 1974.
Simple Explanation
The big people in charge are taking more time to think about whether a new big boat parking spot should be built in Texas because lots and lots of people have told them what they think, and they want to make sure they listen to everyone before making up their minds.
