On November 13,1998, via a Staff Requirements Memorandum (enclosed), the Commission approved a 30-day extension of the public comment period and the final rule date. ' On November 23,1998, the Commission will announced in the Federal Register (63 FR 64829) that the comment period has been reopened until Wednesday, December 16,1998. In addition, the staff will provide a discussion on the need for future risk assessment in this area,
