SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 5, 1995, Customs published in the Federal Register (60 FR
22312) a notice of proposed rulemaking that (1) set forth proposed
amendments to the interim Customs Regulations, published in the Federal
Register on January 3, 1994, as T.D. 94-4, which established the rules
for determining when the country of origin of a good is one of the
parties to the North American Free Trade Agreement for purposes of
Annex 311 of that Agreement and (2) republished, with some
modifications, proposed amendments to the Customs Regulations to set
forth uniform rules governing the determination of the country of
origin of imported merchandise, which also had been published in the
Federal Register on January 3, 1994. The document solicited public
comments that were to be received on or before June 19, 1995.
Customs has been requested to extend the period of time for
comments in order to afford interested parties additional time to study
the proposed regulatory changes and prepare responsive comments.
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: May 30, 1995.
Stuart P. Seidel,
Assistant Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
