SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 12, 1998, the Department of Commerce published two notices in the Federal Register requesting nominations for two joint bodies created under various memorandums of understanding or other agreements with Greece and Northern Ireland. This Federal Register notice was published on November 12, 1998 (63 FR 63294).
