SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on March

1, 1994 (59 FR 9616-9617, Docket No. 93-150-1), we notified the public

of our intent to amend the Inspection and Handling of Livestock for

Exportation regulations by removing the listing for the Hemet Flying

Service, Stockton, CA, export inspection facility. We also notified the

public that we intended to remove Stockton, CA, as a port of

embarkation.

We solicited comments concerning the direct final rule for a 30-day

period ending March 31, 1994. We stated that the effective date of the

proposed amendment would be 60 days after publication of the direct

final rule in the Federal Register, unless we received written adverse

comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments by the

close of the comment period.

We received neither written adverse comments nor notice of intent

to submit adverse comments by that date. Therefore, the direct final

rule will become effective on May 2, 1994, as scheduled.
