 ELECTRONIC  COMMENT  FILING  SYSTEM  IS  SHUTDOWN  UNTIL  JUNE  18,  2001 
 On  June  13,  2001,  the  Electronic  Comment  Filing  System  (ECFS)  experienced  major  hardware 
 failure,  which  has  rendered  the  system  unavailable  for  receiving  and  viewing  of  submissions  in 
 docketed  and  rulemaking  proceedings.  We  are  currently  working  to  resolve  the  technical 
 problems.  However,  due  to  the  serious  nature  of  the  technical  problems,  ECFS  will  not  be 
 available  until  Monday,  June  18,  2001.
