published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2012, proposing to

    As a result of continuing public interest and as requested on 
behalf of the Aviation Working Group, FAA has decided to hold another 
public meeting and to extend the deadline for public comment from March 
31, 2012 until July 6, 2012. Notwithstanding the extension of the 
deadline for comments, the FAA would welcome receiving written comments 
prior to the public meeting in order to frame the discussion at the
