Abstract
Excellent agreement was found for E(B - V) values for nine planetary nebulae observed in common by IUE and ANS, derived from a strong 2200A absorption feature. E(B - V) values for seven additional objects with moderately strong 2200A absorption were determined. A third group of eight planetary nebulae for which the 2200A absorption feature is marginal or absent had E(B - V) extinctions determined from the observed He II I(1640A)/I(4686A) ratio. A comparison with optical and radio data is included.
