SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 28, 2014 (79 FR 64133), the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and requested comments through December 29, 2014. The ACFR proposed to update its regulations for the Federal Register system to clarify certain policies and to reflect current procedures and technological advances. The proposal would also revise the regulatory text to make it more readable and consistent with plain language principles.

The ACFR received a formal request to extend the comment period on the petition for an additional 90 days, making the total time to comment 150 days. After considering the request, the ACFR decided to extend the comment period an additional 30 days, to January 28, 2015. This extension gives commenters additional time to consider the proposal and submit comments on its merits.

By Order of the Committee.

Amy P. Bunk,

Acting Secretary, Administrative Committee of the Federal Register.
