soliciting abstracts from persons wishing to make presentations at a 
symposium entitled ``Musculoskeletal and Neurovascular Disorders--the 
State of the Research Regarding Workplace Etiology and Prevention.'' 
This symposium is scheduled to be held in conjunction with the fourth 
meeting of the National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics in January 
2004. Abstracts were originally due on November 5, 2003. The Agency has 
decided to extend the deadline for submission of abstracts. Interested 
persons are asked to refer to the original October 6, 2003 notice for 
details on content and format for abstracts.

DATES: Abstracts are due December 1, 2003. The symposium will take 
place on January 27, 2004.

ADDRESSES: The Symposium will be held in Washington, DC. Submit 
abstracts to MaryAnn Garrahan, Director, Office of Technical Programs 
and Coordination Activities, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In conjunction with NACE's fourth meeting in 
January 2004, a symposium is being convened to enable the committee to 
hear from experts in ergonomics. In its October 6, 2003 Federal 
Register notice, OSHA provided the public with information on its plans 
for the symposium, along with detailed materials to help interested 
persons to submit abstracts for consideration. Abstracts were 
originally due on November 5, 2003. However, the Agency is now 
extending the period for submission of abstracts through December 1, 
2003.
    Rather than repeating all of the relevant information contained in 
the October 6, 2003 notice, OSHA asks interested persons to refer 
directly to that notice for guidance in submitting abstracts. The 
October 6 notice is available on OSHA's Web site at http://www.osha.gov/FedReg_osha_pdf/FED20031006.pdf.

    Authority: This notice was prepared under the direction of John 
L. Henshaw, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and 
Health. It is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. App. 2), GSA's FACA Regulations (41 CFR Part 102-3), and DLMS 
3 Chapter 1600.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of November, 2003.
John L. Henshaw,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
