The comments received here today and those submitted during the written comment period will assist the Department in developing the final rule. The written comment period as stipulated in the second Federal Register iotice (April 19, 1994, 59 FR 18502) for this rulemaking has been extended to July 18, 1994.All comments submitted on this notice will be considered before DOE establishes the final rule.
