Hawaii regulators have given the Navy and NASA more time on a required environmental review, delaying a decision that affects their long-term hold on state land on Kauai.

• The state Department of Land and Natural Resources extended the deadline for the final environmental impact statement covering the Pacific Missile Range Facility and the Kokee geophysical observatory.
• The review is tied to the Navy and NASA's push to renew their leases on state-owned land.
• The department now has until late September to decide whether to accept the final report.
• The public will get a chance to comment before that decision.

Outlook: A ruling is due by the end of September, with public input expected first.
