FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 98-14]


Shipping Restrictions, Requirements and Practices of the People's 
Republic of China

July 17, 2002.
AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime Commission updates a Further Notice of 
Inquiry, to reflect a recent extension of deadline for comments by the 
Ministry of Communications of the People's Republic of China.

DATE: July 22, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R. Miles, Acting General 
Counsel, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20573-0001, (202) 523-5740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 28, 2002, the Federal Maritime 
Commission (``FMC'' or ``Commission'') issued a Further Notice of 
Inquiry (``FNOI'') soliciting comments with respect to proposed 
implementing rules of the Ministry of Communications (``MOC'') of the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC''). 67 FR 44843-44 (July 5, 2002). 
The FNOI referred to MOC's request for comments as having a deadline 
for comments of July 15, 2002. However, MOC announced on its official 
website (http://www.moc.gov.cn) on July 16, 2002, that it had extended 
this deadline, and that it would receive comments on the proposed rules 
until July 31, 2002.

[[Page 47804]]

    In light of the fact that the Commission's FNOI referred to the 
MOC's original deadline of July 15, 2002, it now wishes to notify the 
shipping public that this deadline should be updated to reflect the 
revised MOC deadline, which is July 31, 2002.
    Now therefore, it is ordered, that this Notice be published in the 
Federal Register.

    By the Commission.
Theodore A. Zook,
Assistant Secretary.
