    SUMMARY: This document announces an extension of the comment period on 
    Notice 94-4 entitled, ``Overflights of Units of the National Park 
    System'' (59 FR 12740; March 17, 1994). This comment period is extended 
    from June 15, 1994, until July 15, 1994. The extension responds to the 
    request of the National Parks and Conservation Association (NPCA) and 
    is needed to permit NCPA, and other affected parties, additional time 
    to develop comments responsive to Notice 94-4.
    
    DATES: The comment period is being extended from June 15, 1994, to July 
    15, 1994.
    
    ADDRESSES: As stated in Notice 94-4, comments should be mailed, in 
    triplicate, to: Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Chief 
    Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Docket No. 27643, 800 
    Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591. All comments must be 
    marked: ``Docket No. 27643.'' Comments on this notice may be examined 
    in room 915G on weekdays, except on Federal holidays, between 8:30 a.m. 
    and 5 p.m.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    David L. Bennett, Office of Chief Counsel, AGC-600, Federal Aviation 
    Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, 
    telephone (202) 267-3473, or Michael M. Tiernan, Office of the 
    Solicitor, Department of Interior (DOI), 18th and C Streets, NW., 
    Washington, DC 2040, telephone (202) 208-7597.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 17, 1994, the FAA issued Notice No. 
    94-4, entitled ``Overflights of Units of the National Park System.'' 
    Notice No. 94-4 sought comment on general policy and specific 
    recommendations for voluntary and regulatory actions to address the 
    effects of aircraft overflights on national parks.
    
        By a request dated May 12, 1994, the NPCA asked that the comment 
    period be extended 30 days. The NPCA explained that, unlike the airtour 
    industry and other vested interests that have formed cohesive groups 
    with streamlined communications systems, its 400,000 members are 
    individual citizens who share an interest of protecting and preserving 
    the national parks and national park values and are reliant on periodic 
    contact with the NPCA. It indicated that the additional time would 
    allow it to make the contents of the notice available to interested 
    members, and allow it sufficient time to digest the notice and draft 
    and file comments.
        In order to give the NCPA and its members additional time to 
    prepare comments, the FAA finds that it would be in the public interest 
    to extend the comment period by 30 days. Accordingly, the comment 
    period is being extended to July 15, 1994, to afford all interested 
    persons the opportunity to comment on this notice.
    
        Issued in Washington, DC, on June 10, 1994.

    Acting Director, Air Traffic Rules and Procedures Service, Federal 
    Aviation Administration.
