Section 123 of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY 1999 (``the Act''), signed into law on October 21, 1998, establishes statutory requirements for the management of commercial fishing in Glacier Bay National Park. The congressional managers of this legislation directed the National Park Service (NPS) ``to extend the public comment period on the pending regulations (62 FR 18547, April 16, 1997) until January 15, 1999, modify the draft regulations to conform to [section 123's] language and publish the changes in the final regulations.'' Accordingly, the public comment period on the Proposed Rule and Environmental Assessment (EA) for commercial fishing will remain open until January 15, 1999.
