[Docket No. 26242, Notice No. 94-28A]
RIN 2120-AF30
Suspension of Certain Aircraft Operations From the Transponder
With Automatic Pressure Altitude Reporting Capability Requirement
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); extension of comment
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces an extension of the comment period for
Notice 94-28, ``Suspension of Certain Aircraft Operations From the
Transponder With Automatic Pressure Altitude Reporting Capability
Requirement'' (59 FR 43994; August 25, 1994). This comment period is
extended from October 11, 1994 to November 25, 1994. The extension
responds to a request from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
(AOPA) to allow additional time for specific comments responsive to
Notice No. 94-28.
DATES: The comment period is being extended from October 11, 1994 to
November 25, 1994.
ADDRESSES: As stated in Notice No. 94-28, comments should be mailed in
triplicate to: Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief
Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Airspace Docket No. 26242,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington DC 20591.
The official docket may be examined in the Rules Docket, Office of
the Chief Counsel, Room 916, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington
DC, weekdays, except Federal holidays, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Ellen Crum, Air Traffic Rules Branch (ATP-230), Airspace-Rules and
Aeronautical Information Division, Air Traffic Rules and Procedures
Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 25, 1994, the FAA published Notice
No. 94-28, ``Suspension of Certain Aircraft Operations From the
Transponder With Automatic Pressure Altitude Reporting Capability
Requirement.'' This notice invites comments on issues related to the
reinstatement and modification of the expired Special Federal Aviation
Regulation (SFAR) No. 62, which suspended certain provisions of the
regulations that require the installation of use of automatic altitude
reporting (Mode C) transponders.
Because the comment period originally established in Notice 94-28
would not provide sufficient time for AOPA to notify its members before
the close of the comment period, AOPA forwarded a written request to
the FAA for a 45-day extension of the comment period. This extension
would provide the required 45-day lead time for AOPA to publish this
information in its magazine and provide sufficient time for the
submission of meaningful comments from its members.
In order to give all interested persons additional time to be
notified of the issues, and submit their specific comments, the FAA
finds that it is in the public interest to extend the comment period.
Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 94-28 is extended to
November 25, 1994.
Issued in Washington, DC on September 23, 1994.
Harold W. Becker,
Manager, Airspace Rules and Aeronautical Information Division, Air
Traffic Rules & Procedures Service.
