Section 16 of the Shipping Act of 1984 to Permit Negotiation, Entry and 
Performance of Service Contracts; Extension of Time

    The Commission published notice of Petition No. P3-03 filed by 
United Parcel Service, Inc. (``UPS''), in the Federal Register on 
August 4, 2003 (68 FR 45820). That notice requested comments to the

parties to file comments in reply to this Petition. WSC advises that it 
has been authorized by UPS's counsel to state that the Petitioner does 
not object to the requested extension. The Commission has determined to 
grant the request. Accordingly, comments are now due by September 24, 
2003.

    By the Commission.
