[Docket No. 28577; Notice No. 96-4]
RIN 2120-AG11
Special Flight Rules in the Vicinity of the Rocky Mountain
National Park
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document announces an extension of the comment period on
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), which proposes to establish a
Special Federal Aviation Regulation to preserve the natural quiet of
Rocky Mountain National Park from any potential adverse impact from
aircraft-based sightseeing overflights. This action is being taken to
rectify the discrepancy of the comment period closing date between the
NPRM published in the Federal Register and the closing date of the NPRM
located in the FAA Rules Docket.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 19, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this NPRM should be mailed, in triplicate to:
Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel,
Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Docket No. 28577, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591. Comments may also be sent
electronically to the Rules Docket by using the following Internet
address: nprmcmts@mail.hq.faa.gov. Comments must be marked Docket No.
28577. Comments may be examined in the Rules Docket in Room 915G on
weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except on Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Notice No. 96-4 was placed on immediate display at the Federal
Register on May 10, 1996, and published on May 15, 1996 (61 FR 24582).
This Notice, as published, provided for a 90 day comment period to
close on August 13, 1996. The FAA Rules Docket inadvertently stamped
the wrong date on the copy of the notice located in the docket room at
FAA Headquarters that comments to Notice No. 96-4 must be received on
or before August 18, 1996, which falls on a Sunday. To afford all
interested persons, especially those who relied on the closing date of
the comment period provided for in the FAA Docket, the opportunity to
comment on the proposal, the FAA extends the comment period, as
published in the Federal Register, to coincide with the closing date of
the comment period as provided for in the FAA Docket. Therefore,
comments on this Notice should be received on or before August 19,
1996.
Extension of Comment Period
The comment period closing date on Notice No. 96-4, Special Flight
Rules in the Vicinity of the Rocky Mountain National Park, is hereby
extended to August 19, 1996.
Issued in Washington, DC on July 17, 1996.
Harold W. Becker,
Acting Program Director for Air Traffic, Airspace Management.
