SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 11, 1995, a document was published in the Federal Register

(60 FR 35792) containing a notice of the receipt of a domestic

interested party petition regarding the country of origin marking

requirements of prescription safety glasses as set forth in

Headquarters Letter Ruling (HLR) 734258, dated January 2, 1992. The

document solicited comments that were to be received on or before

September 11, 1995. Customs has been requested to extend the period of

time for comments in order to afford interested parties additional time

to study the proposed regulations and prepare responsive comment. In

view of the complexity and importance of the petition and its effect on

the country of origin marking of safety glasses, Customs believes that

the request for an extension of time should be granted. Accordingly,

the period of time for the submission of comments is being extended to

October 11, 1995.

Approved: September 6, 1995.

Stuart P. Seidel,

Assistant Commissioner of Customs, Office of Regulations & Rulings.
