Relocation of Standard Time Zone Boundary in the State of Kentucky

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: In response to a petition by the Wayne County, Kentucky, Fiscal Court, the Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed to move Wayne County, Kentucky, from the Central Time Zone to the Eastern Time Zone. Originally, DOT had planned to issue a decision at the beginning of October 1999, so that if a change were adopted it would be effective on October 31, 1999, which is the ending date for daylight saving time. Because this is a very close and controversial proceeding raising novel legal issues, we will not meet our planned timetable. We will issue a decision as soon as possible. The purpose of this notice is to inform the community that now the earliest date that the proposed change might take effect is October 29, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joanne Petrie, Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Regulation and Enforcement, U.S. Department of Transportation, Room 10424, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366-9315.

Issued in Washington, DC on October 8, 1999. Rosalind Knapp, Acting General Counsel.
