AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 16, 1994, at 59 FR 7880, the Forest Service

published a proposed rule to 36 CFR parts 261 and 262, Prohibitions;

Law Enforcement Support Activities. The Department of Agriculture gave

notice that this proposed rule would provide a comprehensive revision

of the acts prohibited on the National Forest System which are enforced

by personnel of the Forest Service. The proposed revisions respond to

emerging law enforcement issues, the enactment of new laws, and the

promulgation of new rules that have occurred since the subject rules

were last revised. The public comment period was to expire on April 18,

1994. The public has asked for more time to respond and comment on this

proposed rule, therefore, the Forest Service is extending the public

comment period until May 18, 1994.

DATES: Written comments must be received in writing and postmarked no

later than May 18, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Director, Law Enforcement and

Investigations (5300), Forest Service, USDA, P.O. Box 96090,

Washington, DC 20090-6090.
