[Docket No. 28567]
A Call for the Development of Prototype(s) for a Global Analysis
and Information Network (GAIN)
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces an extension of time to submit comments
concerning the notice entitled, ``A Call for the Development of
Prototype(s) for a Global Analysis and Information Network (GAIN).''
The FAA proposed GAIN to facilitate the collection, analysis, and
dissemination of aviation safety information to help the industry reach
Zero Accidents. Due to considerable interest in GAIN, the FAA is
extending the comment period to July 19, 1996, to facilitate the
preparation of comprehensive comments concerning the GAIN concept.
DATE: The comment period is extended until July 19, 1996.
ADDRESSES: It is requested that all comments be submitted via the
Internet by sending an e-mail message with your comments (plain text
preferred, no graphics please) to: paper@asyweb01.nasdac.faa.gov.
Please include your name and organization. Comments must also be
mailed in hard-copy (two copies) via regular mail to: Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Office of the Chief
Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Docket No. 28567,
Washington, DC 20591.
All comments must be marked: ``Docket No. 28567.'' Commenters
wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments must include
[[Page 30108]]
a pre-addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is
made: ``Comments to Docket No. 28567.'' The postcard will be date

Comments submitted about this Notice may be examined at the FAA at

Mr. Chuck Fluet, Manager, Safety Analysis Division, Office of Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 10, 1996, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) issued a notice [Notice] entitled, ``A Call for
the Development of Prototype(s) for a Global Analysis and Information
Network (GAIN)'' (61 FR 21522). The Notice solicited comments from all
interested parties on the GAIN concept and implementation strategy for
collecting and analyzing aviation safety data, and invited
participation in the development of proof-of-concept prototypes. The
comment period for this Notice was originally scheduled to end June 14,
1996.
However, in order to give interested parties sufficient time to
prepare comprehensive comments concerning the issues raised in the May
10, 1996, Notice, the FAA has determined that it is in the public
interest to extend the comment period. In light of considerable
interest in the GAIN concept, this extension will allow commenters
additional time to submit information. The additional time should
result in more comprehensive comments, which in turn will facilitate
more productive communications between commenters and more fruitful
exploration of potential joint ventures prior to the FAA hosting a
conference to discuss refinements of the GAIN concept and prototype(s)
development.
Accordingly, the comment period will close on July 19, 1996.
Issued in Washington, DC on June 11, 1996.
Christopher A. Hart,
Assistant Administrator for System Safety.
