(77 FR 13206) Commenters requested an extension of the comment period until April 13, 2012, stating that the extension was needed to allow sufficient time to address many important issues in the proposed revisions. Commenters cited the need to collect information and thoughts from various sites to prepare comments from the National Council of Security Police, and stated that the additional week would allow time to gather all the information and prepare focused comments. DOE has determined that an extension of the public comment period is appropriate based on the foregoing reasons and is hereby extending the comment period. DOE will consider any comments received by April 13, 2012. Further Information on Submitting Comments

**DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION**

**Federal Aviation Administration**

**14 CFR Part 39**
**[Docket No. FAA–2006–24785; Directorate Identifier 2006–NE–20–AD]** 

**RIN 2120–AA64**
**Airworthiness Directives; Lycoming Engines Reciprocating Engines** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of comment period.

**SUMMARY :**  We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Lycoming Engines (L)O–360, (L)IO–360, AEIO–360, O–540, IO–540, AEIO–540, (L)TIO–540, IO–580, and IO– 720 series reciprocating engines. That NPRM proposed to require replacing certain crankshafts of affected engine models. This action revises that NPRM by including the IO–390, AEIO–390, and AEIO–580 series engine models having affected crankshafts. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to prevent failure of the crankshaft, whichwill result in total engine power loss, inflight engine failure, and possible loss of the aircraft. Since these actions impose an additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this supplemental NPRM by June 5,
2012.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
