Background 

On April 5, 2010 [64 FR 17047], the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

published a policy statement entitled 

‘‘Special Issuance of Airman Medical 

Certificates to Applicants Being Treated 

With Certain Antidepressant 

Medications.’’ The FAA established a 

public docket for this policy (FAA– 

2009–0773) and opened a 30-day 

comment period until May 5, 2010. The 

Air Line Pilots Association, 

International (ALPA) submitted a 

comment, dated May 5, 2010, requesting 

that the FAA extend the comment 

period. 

In its comment ALPA stated this 

policy change is ‘‘an important step in 

the direction of increasing airline 

safety.’’ In ALPA’s view, however, ‘‘the 

new protocol has raised a substantial 

number of questions regarding its 

application.’’ ALPA requested an 

opportunity for a 45-day comment 

period and specified that this comment 

period should begin ‘‘after the FAA has 

had the opportunity to answer the 

specific questions raised about the 

policy’s practical application.’’ 

The FAA has evaluated ALPA’s 

request for additional time to comment 

and is not opposed to re-opening the 

comment period. Re-opening the 

comment period for 45 days appears 

unwarranted, however, given the few 

comments received regarding the policy

29404 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

1Pursuant to section 2(16) of the NGPA, 15 U.S.C. 

3301(16), the term ‘‘intrastate pipeline’’ may refer to 

all entities engaged in natural gas transportation 

under section 311 of the NGPA or section 1(c) of 

the NGA. For consistency, this Final Rule will also 

use the terms ‘‘transportation,’’ ‘‘pipeline,’’ and 

‘‘shippers’’ to refer inclusively to storage activity 

(except where noted). 

and its practical application during the 

original 30-day comment period. 

Therefore, the FAA will re-open the 

comment period for 30 days. 

ALPA has not formally submitted to 

the public docket its specific questions 

about the policy’s practical application 

and, as mentioned, few commenters 

provided input in this regard during the 

open comment period. To receive 

appropriate consideration, therefore, the 

FAA requests specific information 

regarding these concerns be provided 

during the next 30 days of the re-opened 

comment period. 

Re-Opening of Comment Period 

In accordance with Sec. 11.47(c) of 

title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

FAA has reviewed ALPA’s comment for 

extension of the comment period to 

Docket FAA–2009–0773. Since the 

comment period has already closed, the 

FAA will re-open it for a period of 30 

days. The petitioner has shown a 

substantive interest in the policy and 

has provided good cause to grant reopening of the comment period. The 

FAA has determined that re-opening the 

comment period is consistent with the 

public interest and that good cause 

exists for taking this action. 

Accordingly, the comment period is 

re-opened until June 25, 2010. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 20, 

2010.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

18 CFR Part 284 

[Docket No. RM09–2–000; Order No. 735] 

Contract Reporting Requirements of 

Intrastate Natural Gas Companies 

May 20, 2010. 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this Final Rule, the 

Commission revises the contract 

reporting requirements for those natural 

gas pipelines that fall under the 

Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant to 

section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy 

Act or section 1(c) of the Natural Gas 

Act. The Final Rule revises § 284.126(b) 

and replaces Form No. 549—Intrastate 

Pipeline Annual Transportation Report 

with the new Form No. 549D— 

Quarterly Transportation and Storage 

Report for Intrastate Natural Gas and 

Hinshaw Pipelines. The Final Rule 

makes changes so as to increase the 

reporting frequency from annual to 

quarterly, include certain additional 

types of information and cover storage 

transactions as well as transportation 

transactions, establish a procedure for 

the Form No. 549D reports to be filed in 

a uniform electronic format and posted 

on the Commission’s Web site, and hold 

that those reports must be public and 

may not be filed with information 

redacted as privileged. The Commission 

is also modifying its policy concerning 

periodic reviews of the rates charged by 

section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines to 

extend the cycle for such reviews from 

3 years to 5 years. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will 

become effective April 1, 2011.
