on June 14, 1995 invited and encouraged interested persons to 
participate in the proposed rulemaking by submitting written comments, 
including views, data or arguments by July 14, 1995. An organization 
requested additional time to prepare comments citing the need for 
additional time to disseminate information to effected persons. Because 
of this request the comment period is reopened for 30 additional days. 
Coast Guard is reopening the comment period on the notice of proposed 
rulemaking, ``Coast Guard Rulemaking Procedures'' which proposes 
allowing the use of direct final rulemaking procedures in certain 
situations. The NPRM was

addresses, identify this rulemaking (CGD 94-105) and the specific 
section of this proposal to which each comment applies, and give the 
reason for each comment. Please submit two copies of all comments and 
attachments in an unbound format, no larger than 8\1/2\ by 11 inches, 
suitable for copying and electronic filing. Persons wanting 
acknowledgment of receipt of comments should enclose stamped, self-
