[OST Docket No. OST-99-5843 ]
RIN 2105-AC80


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.
