SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 24, 1995, the Department of 
State issued a proposed rulemaking (60 FR 58026) updating the list of 
longshore work by particular activity, of countries where performance 
of such a particular activity by crewmembers aboard United States 
vessels is prohibited by law, regulation, or in practice in the 
country. The crews of ships registered in or owned by nationals of the 
countries on the list may not perform the activities enumerated on the 
list. Citing the need for more time to assess the full effects of the 
proposed rule, a number of parties have requested an extension of the 
comment period. Consequently, the Department will extend the deadline 
by 30 days, from December 26, 1995 to January 26, 1996.
