SUMMARY: The FHWA is announcing the extension of the period for public

Truck Size and Weight (TS&W) Study. The original date for closing the

to submit comments. The FHWA believes that an additional 30 days will 
permit interested persons reasonable time to provide meaningful 
comments.

set of alternative TS&W scenarios selected for review by the DOT. The 
impacts of five different scenarios have been assessed and compared to 
the status quo. The results of DOT's analysis are presented in Volume 
III. Those who have already submitted comments may supplement them.

DATES: Comments must be received by April 15, 1999, in order to be 
considered for inclusion in the final draft of Volume III.
