SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 1996, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) issued Notice No. 96-14, Commercial Passenger-
Carrying Operations in Single-Engine Aircraft under Instrument Flight 
Rules (December 3, 1996, 61 FR 64230). Comments to this notice were to 
be received on or before February 3, 1997.
    By letter dated January 31, 1997, the Joint Aviation Authorities 
(JAA) requested that the FAA extend the comment period for Notice No. 
96-14 for 4 weeks. JAA stated that they are working on a similar rule 
and have had discussions on the proposal among the member countries. 
Therefore, they wished to provide a comment which was coordinated among 
their member countries; however they needed more time than the current 
comment period allowed. Thus the JAA made a request for a 4-week 
extension.
    The FAA has determined that an extension of time to obtain the 
comments on the proposal from the European nations is warranted and 
therefore the requested extension is granted. This notice announces 
that 4-week extension of the comment period.

    Issued in Washington, DC on February 3, 1997.
David R. Harrington,
Acting Director, Flight Standards Service.
