Federal Aviation Administration, 901 

Locust St., Kansas City, MO 64106. 

Background: On May 24, 2012, the 

FAA published the petition for 

exemption (77 FR 31063) from ICON 

Aircraft to allow incorporation of a 

Spin-Resistant Airframe (SRA) in the 

ICON A5 at a weight above the current 

Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) definition. 

The FAA requested that comments on 

the petition be received on or before 

June 13, 2012, which allowed for a 20 

day comment period as suggested by 14 

CFR 11.89. 

By petition submitted June 28, 2012, 

Independent Aircraft Inc. requested that 

the FAA reopen the comment period for 

90 days to allow additional time to 

address issues associated with an 

increase in weight of the ICON A5. 

Since Independent Aircraft Inc. has 

already submitted their comments the 

FAA will reopen the comment period 

for an additional 10 days, in lieu of the 

90 days requested, to assure that these 

and any other comments that may be 

received will be given full 

consideration. 

Reopening of the Comment Period: 

The FAA has reviewed the request made 

by Independent Aircraft Inc. for 

additional time to comment to the 

petition for exemption (Docket No. 

FAA–2012–0514.) The petitioner has 

shown a substantive interest in the 

petition and good cause for 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 

the petition for exemption [Docket No.: 

FAA–2012–0514] is reopened until July 

27, 2012. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

14 CFR 11.85. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 9, 2012.

Acting Director, Office of Rulemaking.

or before August 16, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Aviation Administration is 

reviewing a request by Hancock CountyBar Harbor Airport to release 0.77 acres 

of airport property from surplus 

property obligations. The State of Maine 

is making improvements to a portion of 

State Highway ‘‘43’’ (Route 3) extending 

from just north of the airport access road 

to the Route 230 intersection. 

The intersection upgrades include 

construction of a stub entrance for the 

future realignment of Caruso Drive 

which is the airport access road. The 

release will also allow the airport to sell 

the parcel to the State of Maine at fair 

market value, $9400 per appraisal, with 

the proceeds being deposited in an 

identifiable interest bearing account to 

be used for airport operating and 

maintenance expenses. The sale will 

benefit the airport both operationally 

and financially. 

FAA funding was used in acquiring 

portions of the proposed parcel to be 

released. The largest portion of the 

airport originally was transferred from 

the U.S. Government through the War 

Assets Administration by agreement in 

1947 and 1948. Additional parcels were 

subsequently acquired from private 

landowners during safety area 

improvements and extensions to the 

Runway 4 approach end. However, the 

portions of the parcels obtained and to 

be released are not needed for 

aeronautical purposes. 

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts on 

June 26, 2012. 

Michel J. Hovan, 

Acting Manager, Airports Division, New 

England Region.
