Passage 2SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In an effort to improve the indoor air quality in the Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the building's owner have initiated a major cleaning project. This project entails a thorough cleaning of the building on a floor-by-floor basis. During the cleaning of each floor, the floor will be closed to employees and visitors. It is estimated that the cleaning of each floor will take approximately three weeks. During this three-week period, the offices on each floor will be closed and the affected employees will be relocated to another building. Once the cleaning of a floor is complete, employees and visitors may return to that floor. RSPA's Dockets Unit is located on the eighth floor. Cleaning of the eighth floor is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 12, 1996 and last until September 3, 1996. As a result, RSPA's Dockets Unit is scheduled to close for approximately three weeks. Because of the volume of materials in the Dockets Unit, it cannot be relocated during the cleaning and will be closed. However, since the comment period is open until August 16, 1996 under the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, extension of comment period [61 FR 24904], Docket HM-200 will be relocated and made available for review in Room 5414A of the Nassif Building, telephone (202) 366-4900. The public may view this docket between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Following completion of cleaning, Docket HM-200 will be returned to the Dockets Unit in Room 8421 of the Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC, 20590-0001, telephone (202) 366-5046. Issued in Washington, DC on July 19, 1996, under the authority delegated in 49 CFR part 106, Appendix A. Alan I. Roberts, Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety.
