The headline suggests that the comment period has been extended, but the body is just about a request to extend.

I'm guessing this is still just a request?

Thanks,

GILLIBRAND CALLS FOR EXTENDED PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ON MARCELLUS SHALE DRILLING

New Yorkers currently have until Nov 30 to comment. Senator Gillibrand is requesting another month beyond that.

Senator Gillibrand:
"While drilling represents a tremendous economic opportunity, we need assurance that the quest for new sources of energy does not come at the expense of safe drinking water.... New York has an abundant supply of fresh, clean water, and we must learn from the accidents that other states have already experienced to avoid damage to our own precious natural resources."
