SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board's notice of proposed rulemaking on 
the appropriateness of requested single location bargaining units in 
representation cases was published in the Federal Register on September 
28, 1995 (60 FR 50146). The notice provided that all responses to the 
notice of proposed rulemaking must be received on or before November 
27, 1995. On November 20, 1995 the Board extended the time to January 
22, 1996. Because of the recent shutdown of operations due to lack of 
appropriated funds, the Board extended the time to February 8, 1996. In 
view of public interest, the Board further extended the period for 
filing responses to the notice of proposed rulemaking until the close 
of business on Friday, March 15, 1996.
    On March 7, 1996, the House Subcommittee on Regulation and 
Paperwork of the Committee on Small Business of the U.S. House of 
Representatives conducted an oversight hearing regarding the proposed 
rule and on March 8, 1996, United Food & Commercial Workers 
International Union, AFL-CIO, requested the Board to extend the period 
for filing comments to the proposed rule to April 12, 1996. In light of 
the matters raised during the March 7 hearing and the request of United 
Food & Commercial Workers International Union, AFL-CIO for an extension 
of time, the Board extends the period for filing responses to the 
notice of proposed rulemaking until April 12, 1996.

    Dated, Washington, DC, March 11, 1996.

    By direction of the Board.
John J. Toner,
Executive Secretary.
