ACTION: Proposed Rule; Extension of Comment Period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission is extending the 
comment period for its proposals to modernize and clarify the

Those proposals are in Securities Act Release No. 7606A (11/13/98), 63 
FR 67174 (12/4/98) (the ``Proposing Release''). The original comment 
deadline established by the Proposing Release was April 5, 1999. The 
new deadline is June 30, 1999.

DATES: Public comments are due on or before June 30, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 13, 1998, the Commission issued 
the Proposing Release. It describes proposals to modernize and clarify 
the regulatory structure for offerings under the Securities Act of 1933 
while maintaining investor protection. The proposals covered five major 
topics: Registration system reform; communications around the time of 
an offering; prospectus delivery requirements; integration of private 
and public offerings; and periodic reporting under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934. The deadline for submitting public comments 
established by the Proposing Release was April 5, 1999. The Commission 
has received requests to extend the deadline. We are therefore 
extending the comment period to June 30, 1999, so that commenters have 
adequate time to address the issues raised by the Proposing Release.

    Dated: March 24, 1999.

    By the Commission.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
