SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On July 30, 2002, the FAA published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to amend an earlier proposal to amend the commercial space transportation regulations governing licensing and safety requirements for launch (67 FR 49456). In that SNPRM, we described procedures for a public meeting we will hold at the FAA headquarters building. See the DATES and ADDRESSES sections of this notice for the time and location of the meeting. We are not changing the date and location of the public meeting.

In this document, we are adding a telephone number that interested parties may call to participate in the meeting via telephone. It is not necessary for a person who wishes to participate in the meeting to be physically present at the FAA headquarters in Washington, DC. A person may call [phone] to listen to the proceedings or to participate by asking a question or making a statement. No pass code or other number is required. Interested parties should note that this is not a toll-free number.

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 21, 2002.

Director, Office of Rulemaking.
