recognition of the importance of obtaining fully developed and 
constructive comments as to the implication of this proposed 
rulemaking, OFHEO is extending the comment period for the Corporate 
Governance proposed regulation from November 13, 2001, to December 13, 
2001. This is to ensure that all interested parties have ample 
opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process by providing 
meaningful comment in the development of the corporate governance 
regulation.
