SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

6, 2012, DOE published a proposed rule 

to revise the standards for medical, 

physical performance, training, and 

access authorizations for PF personnel 

employed by contractors providing 

security services to the Department. (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 

Under 10 CFR 1004.11, any person 

submitting information that he or she 

believes to be confidential and exempt 

by law from public disclosure should 

submit two copies: One copy of the 

document including all the information 

believed to be confidential, and one 

copy of the document with the 

information believed to be confidential 

deleted. DOE will make its own 

determination about the confidential 

status of the information and treat it 

according to its determination.

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, which 

will 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.
