Notice of rescheduled meeting; Extension of comment period.
Summary
On January 23, 1997, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) published a notice in the Federal Register announcing that BTS would hold a public meeting on its proposal to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee to examine the relevant issues and attempt to reach a consensus in developing regulations governing the collection of financial and operating data from motor carriers of property. The meeting was to take place in Washington, D.C., on February 10, 1997. The notice also extended to February 28, 1997, the comment period on the proposal to establish the negotiated rulemaking committee, on the proposed membership of the Committee, and on the proposed issues for consideration by the Committee. Due to scheduling conflicts with several people and entities that wish to participate, BTS has decided to reschedule the public meeting. The new meeting date is March 31, 1997, 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, Eastern Standard Time. In addition, BTS is further extending the comment period to April 30, 1997.
