SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 24, 1995, the Department of
State issued a proposed rulemaking (60 FR 58026) updating the list of
longshore work by particular activity, of countries where performance
of such a particular activity by crewmembers aboard United States
vessels is prohibited by law, regulation, or in practice in the
country. The crews of ships registered in or owned by nationals of the
countries on the list may not perform the activities enumerated on the
list. Citing the need for more time to assess the full effects of the
proposed rule, a number of parties have requested an extension of the
comment period. Consequently, the Department will extend the deadline
by 30 days, from December 26, 1995 to January 26, 1996.
