SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on July 
15, 1994 (59 FR 36024-36026, Docket No. 94-014-1), we notified the 
public of our intent to amend the animal importation regulations by 
adding the Greater Cincinnati International Airport in Covington, KY, 
as a limited port of entry for certain birds. We also notified the 
public that we intended to make several nonsubstantive changes to 
correct errors in the regulations concerning importation of birds.
    We solicited comments concerning the direct final rule for a 30-day 
period ending August 15, 1994. We stated that the effective date of the 
proposed amendment would be 60 days after publication of the direct 
final rule in the Federal Register, unless we received written adverse 
comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments by the 
close of the comment period.
    We received neither written adverse comments nor written notice of 
intent to submit adverse comments by that date. Therefore, the direct 
final rule will become effective on September 13, 1994, as scheduled.
