BY THE COURT:

IT IS ORDERED that respondent's petition for rehearing, or, in the alternative, motion for clarification and modification of the Court's opinion entered on September 4, 1981, 655 F.2d 86 , is GRANTED to the extent of changing this portion of the fourth paragraph to read:

2

Since the black diamond navigational signal was ... essential ... and was being constructed for installation on a barge to be used in transporting ship modules to the shipyard in the East, the activity was sufficiently related to maritime commerce as to be maritime employment.

3

In all of other respects it is DENIED.

*

Due to his death on May 15, 1981, Judge Gewin did not participate in this decision. The petition for rehearing is being decided by a quorum, 28 U.S.C. 46(d)
