until April 21, 2003, to provide interested parties an additional 60

period for an additional 60 days, until June 20, 2003. In response to 
this request, we are extending the comment period until June 20, 2003, 
so all interested parties have more time to respond to our questions. 
The FCA supports public involvement and participation in its regulatory 
and policy process and invites all interested parties to review and 
provide comments on our notice.
