SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 3, 1994, a document was published in the Federal 
Register (59 FR 141) containing proposed amendments to the Customs 
Regulations setting forth uniform rules governing the determination of 
the country of origin of imported merchandise. The document solicited 
public comments that were to be received on or before April 4, 1994.
    Customs has been requested to extend the period of time for 
comments in order to afford interested parties additional time to study 
the proposed regulations and prepare responsive comment. In view of the 
extensiveness and importance of the proposed regulations, Customs 
believes that the request for an extension of time should be granted. 
Accordingly, the period of time for the submission of comments is being 
extended to July 5, 1994.

    Dated: March 3, 1994.

Acting Director, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
