SUMMARY: By Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published March 31, 1994 (59 
FR 15149), as corrected by notice published April 18, 1994 (59 FR

passenger vessel financial responsibility requirements for 
nonperformance of transportation, to ensure that cruise passengers are

affected parties. The International Council of Cruise Lines now has 
requested that the comment period be extended further to June 24, 1994. 
The Delta Queen Steamboat Co. supports this request. The Commission has 
determined to grant the request.
