On March 5, 2012, the FAA issued Notice No. 12–02, entitled ‘‘Rules of Practice for Federally-Assisted Airport Enforcement Proceedings (Retrospective Regulatory Review)’’ (77 FR 13027). The FAA requested that comments on that proposal be received on or before May 4, 2012.

By petition dated May 4, 2012, ACI– NA, an association representing the local, regional and state governing bodies that own and operate the principal airports served by scheduled air carriers in North America, requested that the FAA extend the comment period for Notice No. 12–02 for three weeks. The petitioner stated that additional time would allow it to coordinate comments with representative airports, and contribute to meaningful input on the proposed rule. Reopening of Comment Period

The FAA has reviewed the request made by ACI–NA for additional time to comment on Notice No. 12–02. The petitioner has shown a substantive interest in the proposed rule and good cause for the additional time to comment. The FAA has determined that reopening the comment period is consistent with the public interest, and that good cause exists for taking this action.

Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 12–02 is reopened until June 7, 2012.
