SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 11, 1995, a document was published in the Federal Register 
(60 FR 35792) containing a notice of the receipt of a domestic 
interested party petition regarding the country of origin marking 
requirements of prescription safety glasses as set forth in 
Headquarters Letter Ruling (HLR) 734258, dated January 2, 1992. The 
document solicited comments that were to be received on or before 
September 11, 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 regulations and prepare responsive comment. In 
view of the complexity and importance of the petition and its effect on 
the country of origin marking of safety glasses, Customs believes that 
the request for an extension of time should be granted. Accordingly, 
the period of time for the submission of comments is being extended to 
October 11, 1995.

    Approved: September 6, 1995.
Stuart P. Seidel,
Assistant Commissioner of Customs, Office of Regulations & Rulings.
