SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On December 15, 1995, the

Department of Commerce’s Bureau of

Export Administration (BXA) published

a notice in the Federal Register (60 FR

64412) announcing its intention to hold

public hearings on the environmental

and economic affects of lifting the ban

on the export of Alaskan North Slope

(ANS) crude oil. The notice proposed

four hearings. The notice also identified

the issues on which the Department is

interested in obtaining the public’s

views. It also set forth the procedures

for public participation in the hearings.

On December 28, BXA canceled the

hearings because of the shutdown of the

Federal Government. The hearings have

been rescheduled as described in

Section II of this notice.

The hearings are pursuant to

legislation that the President signed

legislation (Public Law 104–58)

authorizing exports of Alaskan North

Slope (ANS) crude oil when transported

in U.S.-flag tankers. The statute requires

the President to consider the results of

an ‘‘appropriate environmental review’’

and other issues prior to making his

national interest determination. The

Department is soliciting public

comments as described in the December

15, 1995 Federal Register notice.

II. Public Hearings and Comment

commence at 8:30 a.m. and end at 5:30

p.m. Requests to speak must be

submitted by February 5, 1996. In the

event the Department is not open for

normal business during the new hearing

dates, the hearings will be rescheduled.

The hearing in Washington, D.C. will

be held in room 6009 of the Herbert

Hoover Building which is located at

14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,

NW., Washington, D.C, 20230. The

hearing in Seattle will be held in

Anchorage, Alaska.

The Department encourages interested

participants to present their views orally

at the hearings. Any person wishing to

make an oral presentation at the

hearings must submit a brief written

request to the Department of Commerce

at the address indicated in the ADDRESS

section of this notice. The written

request must be received by BXA no

later than February 5, 1996. The written

requests to participate in the public

hearings should describe the

individual’s interest in the hearing and,

where appropriate, explain why the

individual is a proper representative of

a group or class of person that has such

an interest. In addition, the request to

speak should contain a daytime phone

number where the person who will be

making the oral presentation may be

contacted before the hearing. On the day

of the hearing, speakers should bring 2

copies of the summary of their oral

presentation to the hearing address

indicated in the DATES section of this

notice.

Persons may submit written
