Tolls for Use of Canal; Rules for Measurement of Vessels

Riepilogo

The Panama Canal Commission (PCC) is providing a supplemental comment period on the toll rate/measurement rule published in the Federal Register (61 FR 46407) on September 3, 1996. The original comment period closed on September 25, 1996. The provision of this additional period responds to requests from a number of interested parties who indicated there had not been sufficient time to adequately address the various issues raised by the proposal. Additional written comments will be accepted through November 15, 1996. As in the first comment period, PCC will consider, and strongly encourages all interested parties to present in writing, pertinent data, views or arguments, along with any alternatives or other relevant information, for PCC's consideration prior to issuance of any final rules. Any final rules approved will be effective no earlier than 30 days from the date of their publication in the Federal Register.
