supplementary information: The Government Securities Act Amendments of 
1993 granted Treasury the authority to prescribe large position 
recordkeeping and reporting rules for certain Treasury securities. An 
advance notice of proposed rulemaking was published to advise market 
participants of our intention to issue large position recordkeeping and 
reporting regulations, describe the purposes of, and objectives to be 
achieved by, such rules and identify key elements related to any rule 
proposal. The notice invited comments, advice and recommendations from 
interested parties and requested that they address specific questions.
    The Department has received a request for a 30 day extension of the 
comment period from a trade association representing approximately 300 
government securities brokers and dealers (Public Securities 
Association, PSA). PSA has requested the extension in order to permit 
the association to obtain additional information from its membership 
and more fully discuss the issues at its annual meeting during the last 
week of April. Given the limited additional time requested, the 
Department agrees to extend the comment period until May 24, 1995.

    Dated: April 19, 1995.
Frank N. Newman,
Deputy Secretary.
