SUMMARY: On April 12, 1995, the United States Department of Justice

(DOJ) published Proposed Guidelines to implement the Jacob Wetterling

Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act.

minor changes to their existing systems in order to comply with the

statutory requirements outlined in these guidelines. To ensure that the

public has ample opportunity to fully review and comment on the

proposed guidelines, we are reopening the comment period and will

accept comments for an additional 45 days after publication of this

notice.

DATES: Comments must be received by October 30, 1995.
