SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 13, 1994 (59 FR 25167 through 25173) the Department of Labor (the Department) published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking concerning revisions in the child labor regulations, 29 CFR Part 570. These regulations set forth the criteria for the permissible employment of minors under 18 years of age. As indicated by the advance notice of proposed rulemaking, the Department is undertaking a comprehensive review of the current regulatory standards for child labor employment, and is considering proposing revisions to the regulations which reflect changes in the workplace since their adoption. The Department expressed particular interest in the views of the public on needed changes to Subparts C and E of these regulations. Subpart C (Child Labor Reg. 3) specifies permissible hours and time standards, as well as occupational limitations, for 14- and 15-year-old employees. Subpart E identifies occupations deemed particularly hazardous for, or detrimental to the health or well-being of, employees under 18 years of age. The Department requested that written comments from interested parties be submitted on or before August 11, 1994. Because of the interest that has been expressed in this proposed rulemaking, and the desire of some commenters to support their comments with detailed statistical information which takes time to prepare, the Department believes it is desirable to extend the comment period for interested parties. Therefore, the period for submitting written comments concerning the advance notice of proposed rulemaking is extended for 60 additional days, to October 11, 1994. Signed at Washington, DC, on this 2nd day of August, 1994. Maria Echaveste, Administrator, Wage and Hour Division. [FR Doc. 94-19236 Filed 8-5-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-27-M
