Those proposals are in Securities Act Release No. 7606A (11/13/98), 63
FR 67174 (12/4/98) (the ``Proposing Release''). The original comment
deadline established by the Proposing Release was April 5, 1999. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 13, 1998, the Commission issued
the Proposing Release. It describes proposals to modernize and clarify
the regulatory structure for offerings under the Securities Act of 1933
while maintaining investor protection. The proposals covered five major
topics: Registration system reform; communications around the time of
an offering; prospectus delivery requirements; integration of private
and public offerings; and periodic reporting under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The deadline for submitting public comments
established by the Proposing Release was April 5, 1999. The Commission
has received requests to extend the deadline. We are therefore
extending the comment period to June 30, 1999, so that commenters have
adequate time to address the issues raised by the Proposing Release.
Dated: March 24, 1999.
By the Commission.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
