constructed of fibrous reinforced plastic,

the steelweight of the work performed

on the portion of the vessel constructed

of a material other than steel or

aluminum will be determined, to the

maximum extent practicable, and

aggregated with the work performed on

the portion of the vessel constructed of

steel or aluminum. The numerical

parameters described in paragraph (b) of

this section will then be applied to the

aggregate of the work performed on the

vessel compared to the vessel’s

steelweight, calculated as if the vessel

was wholly constructed of steel or

aluminum, to determine whether the

vessel has been rebuilt.

(e) The owner of a vessel currently

entitled to coastwise, Great Lakes, or

fisheries endorsements which is altered

outside the United States and the work

performed is determined to constitute or

be comparable to more than 5 percent of

the vessel’s steelweight, or which has a

major component of the hull or

superstructure not built in the United

States added, must file the following

information with the Commandant

within 30 days following the earlier of

completion of the work or redelivery of

the vessel to the owner or owner’s

representative:

(1) A written statement applying for a

rebuilt determination, outlining in

detail the work performed and naming

the place(s) where the work was

performed;

(2) Calculations showing the actual or

comparable steelweight of the work

performed on the vessel, the actual or

comparable steelweight of the vessel,

and comparing the actual or comparable

steelweight of the work performed to the

actual or comparable steelweight of the

vessel;

(3) Accurate sketches or blueprints

describing the work performed; and

(4) Any further submissions requested

by the Commandant.

(f) Regardless of the extent of actual

work performed, the owner of a vessel

currently entitled to coastwise, Great

Lakes, or fisheries endorsements may, as

an alternative to filing the items listed

in paragraph (e) of this section, submit

a written statement to the Commandant

declaring the vessel rebuilt outside the

United States. The vessel will then be

deemed to have been rebuilt outside the

United States with loss of trading

privileges.

(g) A vessel owner may apply for a

preliminary rebuilt determination by

submitting:

(1) A written statement applying for a

preliminary rebuilt determination,

outlining in detail the work planned

and naming the place(s) where the work

is to be performed;

(2) Calculations showing the actual or

comparable steelweight of work to be

performed on the vessel, the actual or

comparable steelweight of the vessel,

and comparing the actual or comparable

steelweight of the planned work to the

actual or comparable steelweight of the

vessel;

(3) Accurate sketches or blueprints

describing the planned work; and

(4) Any further submissions requested

by the Commandant.

Note: A statement submitted in accordance

with paragraph (f) of this section does not

constitute an application for a rebuilt

determination and does not require payment

of a fee.

Ex Parte Presentations in Commission

Proceedings

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of

comment period.

SUMMARY: The Commission previously

adopted a notice of proposed

rulemaking proposing to amend its

regulations concerning ex parte

presentations in Commission

proceedings. (See 60 FR 8995, Feb. 16,

1995.) By order of the General Counsel

the comment and reply dates have been

extended four weeks. The intended

effect of this action is to give members

of the public additional time to

comment on the Commission’s

proposal.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or

before April 13, 1995; reply comments

must be filed on or before April 28,

1995.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications

Commission, 1919 M Street NW.,

Washington DC. 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David S. Senzel, Office of General

Counsel (202) 418–1760.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order

Adopted: March 13, 1995; Released:

March 15, 1995.

1. Under consideration by the

Commission is a Motion to Extend Time

in Which to File Comments and Replies

filed March 8, 1995 by the Federal

Communications Bar Association

(FCBA).

2. The FCBA requests that the time for

filing comments and reply comments in

this proceeding be extended until June

14, and June 29, 1995, respectively. It

asserts that this additional time is

required to afford it an opportunity to

ascertain the thinking of its members

and prepare effective comments

following both an April 25, 1995

seminar, to be held in conjunction with

the FCBA’s Continuing Legal Education

Committee, which will address the

issues raised in this proceeding, and

consideration of the views expressed

there by the FCBA’s Executive

Committee at its regularly scheduled

meeting on May 23, 1995. It appears that

immediate action on this Motion is

warranted, pursuant to 47 CFR 1.45(e),

so that all interested parties will have

prompt notice of the pertinent filing

deadlines.

3. After careful consideration of the

Motion, we have determined that the

FCBA has not made a showing that

would warrant extending the time to the

full extent requested. Given the fact that

the primary purpose of this proceeding

is to proceed without undue delay to

improve the public’s ability to

communicate with the Commission in a

manner that comports with fundamental

principles of fairness, the public interest

will be best served by a four week

extension of time for the filing of

comments and reply comments.

4. Accordingly, it is ordered, Pursuant

to the authority delegated under 47 CFR

0.251(b) that the Motion to Extend Time

in Which to File Comments and Replies

filed March 8, 1995 by the Federal

Communications Bar Association is

granted in part and is denied in part and

that the time for filing comments and

reply comments is extended to April 13,

1995 and April 28, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

4, 1995, President Clinton issued a

memorandum to heads of departments

and agencies calling for a review of all

agency regulations and elimination or

revision of those that are outdated or in

need of reform. The President also

directed that front line regulators

‘‘* * * get out of Washington and create

grassroots partnerships’’ with people

affected by agency regulations. RSPA is

reviewing the Pipeline Safety

Regulations (49 CFR Parts 190–199) in

response to the President’s directive.

On September 11, 1993, the President

signed an Executive Order on setting

customer service standards. The

Executive Order requires continual

reform of the executive branch’s

management practices and operations to

provide service to the public that

matches or exceeds the best service

available in the private sector. RSPA is

seeking information from customers of

its pipeline safety program to determine

the kind and quality of services they

want and their level of satisfaction with

existing services.

Conduct of Meetings

Meetings will be informal, intended to

produce a dialogue between agency

personnel and those persons directly

affected by the pipeline safety programs,

regulations and customer services. The

meeting officer reserves the right to

limit time allocated to speakers, if

necessary, to ensure that all have an

opportunity to speak. Other individuals

will have an opportunity to present

their comments after scheduled

speakers complete their comments,

subject to the approval of the presiding

officer. Conversely, meetings may

conclude before the scheduled time if

all persons wishing to participate have

been heard.
