SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 7, 2004 (69 FR 70754), the Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS) published a proposed rule that would amend the Chemical 
Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) by updating them to include 
additional requirements, which were identified as necessary for the 
implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) provisions, and 
to clarify other CWC requirements. The deadline for the comment period 
on the proposed rule was January 6, 2005. The Bureau is now extending 
that deadline to February 7, 2005, to allow the public additional time 
to comment on the rule.

    Dated: January 3, 2005.
