SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of April 23, 2003 
(Vol. 68, No. 78, Page 20032), the Department of Labor published a 
notice inviting the submission of pre-hearing statements to the Special 
Industry Committee for All Industries in American Samoa. Because of an 
unexpected delay in the release of the Economic Report, the Department 
will accept pre-hearing statements submitted by interested persons by 
May 23, 2003. If such statements are sent by airmail between American 
Samoa and the mainland, such filing shall be deemed timely if 
postmarked within the time provided. Interested persons are requested 
to submit comments on or before May 23, 2003.
    Because of the continuing interest in this notice, the Department 
believes that it is desirable to extend the comment period for all 
interested persons. Therefore, the comment period for this notice 
pursuant to sections 5 and 6(a)(3) of the Fair Labor Standards Act 
(FLSA) of 1938, as amended (29 U.S.C. 205,

Samoa), is extended to May 23, 2003.
