SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 22, 1996, Customs published a document in the Federal
Register (61 FR 6892) requesting public comments concerning proposals
to provide rulings, future publications and additional information in
two new formats (CD-ROM and the Internet) with built-in search
capabilities and ``hypertext'' links, and to eliminate one format used
to supply rulings to the public by subscription (microfiche). Comments
were requested by March 25, 1996.
Customs has been requested to extend the period of time for
comments to allow interested parties to have more time to consider the
proposals. Customs believes that it would be appropriate to grant the
request. Accordingly, the period of time for the submission of comments
is being extended 30 days.
Dated: March 21, 1996.
Stuart P. Seidel,
Assistant Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
