SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 12, 1998, the Department of 
Commerce published two notices in the Federal Register requesting 
nominations for two joint bodies created under various memorandums of 
understanding or other agreements with Greece and Northern Ireland. 
This Federal Register notice was published on November 12, 1998 (63 FR 
63294). The notices provide additional information on the goals of the 
agreements, the scope of the activities contemplated under them, and 
relevant information on the joint bodies, including the functions of 
the members of the bodies and membership criteria and requirements. 
Nominations were requested on or before January 8, 1998. Because the 
notices were published shortly before a major U.S. holiday and extended 
through other holidays, the time for submission of nominations is being 
extended through February 26, 1999 to allow for further public 
dissemination and consideration.
