SUMMARY: On October 31, 1995, the Commission issued a notice of 
National Hydropower Association's (NHA) petition for rulemaking in the 
above-captioned docket (60 FR 56278, November 8, 1995). Certain 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government are presently closed

circumstance, notice is hereby given that an extension of time is 
granted.

February 5, 1996. Reply comments shall be due on or before March 4,
