SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 3, 1994, a document was published in the Federal 
Register (T.D. 94-4, 59 FR 110) containing the interim regulations that 
represent fulfillment of the obligations of the United States under 
paragraph 1 of Annex 311 of the North American Free-Trade Agreement 
(NAFTA), as implemented under the North American Free-Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act (Act) (Pub. L. 103-182, 107 Stat. 437 (December 8, 
1993)). 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 interim regulations and prepare responsive comment. In view of the 
extensiveness and importance of the interim 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.
