(2) Data, findings, and conclusions—both positive and negative—from the three SMS 

pilot studies need to be made available in the docket so these findings and 

conclusions can inform the industry’s review of the costs, benefits and potential 

issues arising from the implementation of the Proposed Rule. 

(3) The Proposed Rule needs to be reviewed in conjunction with key guidance 

documents, especially the revised version of FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-37. 

These documents, which are mentioned explicitly in the FAA’s discussion of the 

Proposed Rule will describe the standard means of compliance with the Proposed 

Rule and are needed to understand the scope and scale of airport SMS 

requirements. 

(4) Additional time will be needed for technical analyses by commenters, including 

analyses of the costs and benefits of phased SMS implementation, an 

implementation approach on which the FAA has specifically requested comments. 

To date, FAA has neither acknowledged these requests for information nor provided additional 

information or data needed by commenters to conduct the technical analyses the FAA has 

explicitly requested in the NPRM cited in Item 4 above. 

The Proposed Rule would result in some of the most significant changes in 14 CFR Part 139 

airport certification requirements in over a decade. Accordingly, ACI-NA strongly believes that 

airport operators and other concerned parties should have a reasonable opportunity to prepare 

informed, data driven comments regarding the Proposed Rule. By not providing commenters 

with necessary data and information regarding the Proposed Rule, we believe that the FAA 

deprives the public of this reasonable opportunity and, thus, that the final comments will not be 

as informed or as insightful as they could be. 

Consequently, we respectfully request that the FAA further extend the public comment period 

for the Proposed Rule until thirty days after the information requested in our November 19, 2010 

letter—and summarized above—is provided in the docket. Please note that other federal 

agencies—including the Department of Transportation—have granted second or even third 

extensions in comment periods when circumstances have warranted them. (See references listed 

in Exhibit A, attached hereto.) In the interest of “getting SMS right”, we urge you to consider 

this additional extension request. 
 3 

* * * * * * 

ACI-NA appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Proposed Rule and—in collaboration 

with our members—looks forward to providing the FAA with meaningful comments regarding 

the Proposed Rule. 

Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. 

Sincerely, 

Christopher Oswald 

Vice President, Safety & Technical Operations

Exhibit A 

Please find attached the most relevant comment period extensions. Below is a brief description 

of each: 

• Attachment 1 is a second extension by the DOT research and special programs 

administration. The second extension was granted twice because of petitions and the 

desire to allow more affected parties to comment 

• Attachment 2 is a second extension by the Department of the Interior, fish and wildlife 

service. The first extension was granted because of difficulty in obtaining the plan that 

was the subject of the comment period. The second extension is due to the addition of an 

additional aspect to the plan. 

• Attachment 3 is a second extension by the Department of Interior National Parks 

service. An assessment related to the rule became available, resulting in a second 

extension of the comment period. 

• Attachment 4 is a third extension by the Environmental Protection Agency. Certain 

documents were left off of the original docket, so the agency granted a third extension of 

the public comment period. 

• Attachment 5 is a second extension by the Department of Homeland Security and the 

Department of Treasury. The second extension was granted due to a related rule and the 

desire for comments to reflect the interaction between the related rules. 

• Attachment 6 is a third extension by the Department of the Interior, National Park 

Service. There is no stated reason for the third extension of the public comment period. 

• Attachment 7 is a second extension by the Environmental Protection Agency. There is 

no stated reason for the second extension of the public comment period. 

Upon review of these extensions, there appears to be a trend in agencies granting multiple 

extensions in situations where information was not yet released or not made sufficiently 

available to the public. As we discuss in the body of our request, the FAA’s failure to provide 

sufficient access to necessary materials and to disclose available material relevant to the 

Proposed Rule justify an additional extension of the comment period.

changes. Many commenters attending

the April public meeting also stated that

they would need more time to submit

their comments. RSPA agrees that

additional time should be provided and

is hereby extending the closing date

from May 28 to September 30, 1999.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 24,

1999.

Second Extension of the Comment 

Period for the Draft Recovery Plan for 

Coastal Plants of the Northern San 

Francisco Peninsula

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior.

ACTION: Second extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, announce a second 

extension of the comment period for 

public review of the Draft Recovery Plan 

for Coastal Plants of the Northern San 

Francisco Peninsula for an additional 60 

days. The first extended comment 

period closed on May 6, 2002. We are 

extending the comment period for a 

second time in response to a specific 

request from the National Park Service, 

Golden Gate National Recreation Area 

(GGNRA), to allow additional time for 

public review of this draft recovery plan 

that includes the endangered San 

Francisco lessingia (Lessingia 

germanorum; lessingia) and the Raven’s 

manzanita (Arctostaphylos hookeri ssp. 

ravenii; manzanita). The portion of the 

plan dealing with the manzanita is a 

revision of the 1984 Raven’s Manzanita 

Recovery Plan. Additional species of 

concern that will benefit from recovery 

actions taken for these plants are also 

discussed in the draft recovery plan. 

The draft plan includes recovery criteria 

and measures for the lessingia and 

manzanita.

DATES: Comments on the draft recovery 

plan must be received on or before 

September 9, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft recovery 

plan are available for inspection, by 

appointment, during normal business 

hours at the following location: 

Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office, 

2800 Cottage Way, W–2605, 

Sacramento, California (telephone 916–

414–6600). Requests for copies of the 

draft recovery plan and written 

comments and materials regarding this 

plan should be addressed to Wayne S. 

White, Field Supervisor, Ecological 

Services, at the above Sacramento 

address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Chris Nagano or Kyle Merriam, 

Endangered Species Division, at the 

above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The comment period for the public 

review of the Draft Recovery Plan for 

Coastal Plants of the Northern San 

Francisco Peninsula has previously 

been extended for 60 days to address 

public concern that the plan had been 

difficult to obtain as a result of the 

government-wide restriction of internet 

access. This extended comment period 

closed on May 6, 2002. On April 19, 

2002, we received a request from the 

GGNRA, to extend the comment period 

for an additional 60 days. GGNRA 

asserted they required additional time to 

review the plan due to its complexity, 

and to the relevance of the plan to 

activities within the GGNRA. Based on 

this request, we determined to extend 

the comment period a second time for 

public review of the draft recovery plan. 

Recovery of endangered or threatened 

animals and plants is a primary goal of 

our endangered species program. A 

species is considered recovered when 

the species’ ecosystem is restored and/

or threats to the species are removed so 

that self-sustaining and self-regulating 

populations of the species can be 

supported as persistent members of 

native biotic communities. Recovery 

plans describe actions considered 

necessary for conservation of the 

species, establish recovery criteria for 

downlisting or delisting species, and 

estimate time and cost for implementing 

the measures needed for recovery. 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, 

as amended in 1988 (Act) (16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.), requires the development 

of recovery plans for listed species 

unless such a plan would not promote 

the conservation of a particular species. 

Section 4(f) of the Act requires that 

public notice and an opportunity for 

public review and comment be provided 

during recovery plan development. We 

will consider all information presented 

during the public comment period prior 

to approval of each new or revised 

recovery plan. Substantive technical 

comments may result in changes to the 

plan. Substantive comments regarding 

recovery plan implementation may not 

necessarily result in changes to the 

recovery plan, but will be forwarded to 

appropriate Federal or other entities so 

that they can take these comments into 

account during the course of 

implementing recovery actions. 

The lessingia and manzanita are 

restricted to the San Francisco 

peninsula in San Francisco County, 

California. The lessingia, an annual herb 

in the aster family, is restricted to 

coastal sand deposits. The manzanita, a 

rare evergreen creeping shrub in the 

heath family, was historically restricted 

to a few scattered serpentine outcrops. 

Habitat loss, adverse alteration of 

ecological processes, and the invasion of 

non-native plant species threatens the 

lessingia. The manzanita has also been 

threatened by habitat loss, and the 

primary current threats include the 

invasion of non-native vegetation and 

fungal pathogens. The draft recovery 

plan also makes reference to several 

other federally listed species which are 

ecologically associated with the 

lessingia and manzanita, but which are 

treated comprehensively in other 

recovery plans. These species are the 

beach layia (Layia carnosa), the Presidio 

clarkia (Clarkia franciscana), the Marin 

dwarf-flax (Hesperolinon congestum), 

the Myrtle’s silverspot butterfly 

(Speyeria zerene myrtleae), and the bay 

checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas 

editha bayensis). In addition, 16 plant 

species of concern and 17 plant species 

of local or regional conservation 

significance are considered in this 

recovery plan. 

The draft recovery plan stresses reestablishing dynamic persistent 

populations of the lessingia and 

manzanita within plant communities 

which have been restored to as ‘‘selfsustaining’’ as possible within urban 

wildland reserves. Specific recovery 

actions for the lessingia focus on the 

restoration and management of large 

dynamic mosaics of coastal dune areas 

supporting shifting populations within 

the species’ narrow historic range. 

Recovery of the manzanita may include, 

but may not be limited to, the strategy 

of the 1984 Raven’s Manzanita Recovery 

Plan, which emphasized the 

stabilization of the single remaining 

genetic individual. The draft plan also 

recommends re-establishing multiple 

sexually reproducing populations of 

manzanita in association with its 

historically associated species of local 

serpentine outcrops. The objectives of 

this recovery plan are to delist the 

lessingia and to downlist the manzanita 

through implementation of a variety of 

recovery measures including (1) 

protection and restoration of a series of 

ecological reserves (often with mixed 

recreational and conservation park land 

uses); (2) promotion of population 

increases of the lessingia and manzanita 

within these sites, or reintroduction of 

them to restored sites; (3) management 

of protected sites, especially the 

extensive eradication or suppression of 

invasive dominant non-native 

vegetation; (4) research; and (5) public 

participation, outreach, and education.

a public hearing; a brief introduction by

the hearing facilitator will be followed

by public testimony on the plan.

The environmental assessment

evaluates the proposed action and four

alternatives for managing commercial

fishing in the marine waters of the park.

The proposed action (Alternative

One) would allow commercial fishing

by qualified fishers in non-wilderness

marine waters of Glacier Bay proper to

continue for 15 years; commercial

fishing in wilderness waters would end

at the time the regulations go into effect.

Commercial fishing would generally be

authorized to continue in nonwilderness waters outside Glacier Bay

proper under a cooperative fisheries

management plan developed by the NPS

and State of Alaska.

Alternative Two-No Action—This

alternative would enforce the existing

statutory and regulatory prohibitions

regarding commercial fishing activities

within the marine waters of the park.

Enforcement of NPS regulations would

result in the immediate cessation of all

commercial fisheries in all park waters

with no opportunity to phase out fishing

through limited exemptions.

Alternative Three—This alternative

incorporates marine reserve concepts

consistent with the park’s purposes.

Specifically, this alternative would

focus on protecting those species for

which the park serves as an appropriate

marine reserve (i.e., resident species)

while allowing continued harvest of

species that are subject to harvest

outside park waters (i.e., transient

species).

Alternative Four—This alternative

would allow local individuals to

continue commercial fishing throughout

Glacier Bay National Park. This

alternative would prohibit only those

fisheries that cannot be sustained or that

cause unacceptable habitat degradation.

Alternative Five—This alternative

would implement a fisheries plan

described in a NPS proposed regulations

released in 1991. It would end all

commercial fishing activities in the park

after seven years, and until that time

would allow commercial fishing in nonwilderness waters by traditional

methods.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; New York State

Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision for ozone concerning the

control of volatile organic compounds

submitted by the New York State

Department of Environmental

Conservation. The SIP revision consists

of amendments to the New York Code

of Rules and Regulations, Part 230,

‘‘Gasoline Dispensing Sites and

Transport Vehicles.’’ These revisions

were submitted to comply with the

gasoline vapor recovery provisions of

the Clean Air Act. In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving New York’s SIP revision as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no relevant adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no relevant adverse comments

are received in response to that direct

final rule no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant

adverse comments, the direct final rule

will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. The EPA will not

institute a second comment period on

this proposal. Any parties interested in

commenting on this proposal should do

so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before June 1, 1998.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be

addressed to: Ronald J. Borsellino,

Chief, Air Programs Branch,

State Implementation Plan Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a limited

approval and limited disapproval of

revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) which

concern the control of volatile organic

compound (VOC) and oxides of sulfur

(SOX) emissions from petroleum

refinery vacuum-producing devices or

systems, including hot wells and

accumulators.

The intended effect of proposing

limited approval and limited

disapproval of this rule is to regulate

emissions of VOCs and SOX in

accordance with the requirements of the

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990

(CAA or the Act). EPA’s final action on

this proposed rule will incorporate this

rule into the federally approved SIP.

EPA has evaluated the rule and is

proposing a simultaneous limited

approval and limited disapproval under

Raisins Produced From Grapes Grown 

in California; Withdrawal of a Proposed 

Rule 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This document withdraws a 

proposed rule published in the Federal 

Register on July 18, 2008, on use of an 

estimated trade demand figure to 

compute volume regulation percentages 

for 2008–09 Natural (sun-dried) 

Seedless (NS) raisins covered under the 

Federal marketing order for California 

raisins (order). The order regulates the 

handling of raisins produced from 

grapes grown in California and is 

administered locally by the Raisin 

Administrative Committee (Committee). 

The proposal provided parameters for 

implementing volume regulation for 

2008–09 NS raisins, if supplies were 

short, for the purpose of maintaining the 

industry’s export markets and 

stabilizing the domestic market. Since 

the 2008–09 NS crop was larger than 

anticipated, this action is no longer 

warranted. Therefore, the proposed rule 

is being withdrawn. 

DATES: The proposed rule published on 

July 18, 2008 (73 FR 41302), is 

withdrawn effective November 25, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Marketing 

Agreement and Order No. 989, both as 

amended (7 CFR part 989), regulate the 

handling of raisins produced from 

grapes grown in California, hereinafter 

referred to as the ‘‘order.’’ The order is 

effective under the Agricultural 

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as 

amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674), hereinafter 

referred to as the ‘‘Act.’’ 

This action withdraws a proposed 

rule published in the Federal Register 

on July 18, 2008 (73 FR 41302), on use 

of an estimated trade demand figure to 

compute volume regulation percentages 

for 2008–09 NS raisins. Specifically, the 

proposed rule would have provided 

parameters for implementing volume 

regulation for 2008–09 crop NS raisins, 

if supplies were short, for the purpose 

of maintaining a raisin reserve pool to 

support a portion of the industry’s 

export markets and help stabilize the 

domestic market. 

Historically, reserve raisins have been 

used by the Committee to support 

market development programs that have 

strengthened export sales and reduced 

surpluses, thus stabilizing the domestic 

market. In two previous years when 

raisin supplies were low, the Committee 

recommended an alternative method of 

calculating its volume control 

percentages, including the use of an 

estimated trade demand figure, to 

ensure that a reserve was maintained 

and the export programs could continue 

from year to year. 

Subsequent to publication of the 

proposed rule, the Committee 

determined that the 2008–09 crop was 

larger than anticipated and that use of 

the alternative method for calculating 

volume control percentages would be 

unnecessary for that crop year. 

Therefore, the proposed action is no 

longer warranted. 

Accordingly, the proposed rule 

regarding use of an estimated trade 

demand figure to compute volume 

regulation percentages for 2008–09 NS 

raisins published in the Federal 

Register July 18, 2008 (73 FR 41302), is 

hereby withdrawn.

36 CFR Part 13

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska;

Commercial Fishing Regulations and

Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule and

environmental assessment, extension of

public comment period.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

(NPS) announces that the public

comment period for the proposed rule

concerning commercial fishing at

Glacier Bay National Park and the

associated environmental assessment

(EA) is being extended 169 days to

November 15, 1998. The proposed rule

was published on April 16, 1997 (62 FR

18547). This is the third extension of the

public comment period on the proposed

rule.

The proposed rule, intended to

provide a framework for enhanced

review and comment by all interested

parties, would implement fair measures

to ensure protection of the values and

purposes of Glacier Bay NP, including

the preservation, enjoyment, and

scientific value of the park’s unique

marine ecosystem. In general, the

proposed rule would prohibit all

commercial fishing in Glacier Bay

proper but provide certain limited

exemptions over a 15 year phase-out

period, and authorize established

commercial fishing in the park’s marine

waters outside Glacier Bay proper

subject to reexamination at the end of 15

years.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule

and EA will be accepted through

November 15, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed

rule and EA should be submitted to:

Superintendent, Glacier Bay National

Park and Preserve, P.O. Box 140,

Gustavus, Alaska 99826.

Loan Guaranty: Requirements for

Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing

Loans

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This document proposes to

amend the Department of Veterans

Affairs (VA) loan guaranty regulations

concerning the requirements for Interest

Rate Reduction Refinancing Loans

(IRRRLs) by generally limiting these

loans to instances where the veteran’s

monthly mortgage payment will

decrease, and by requiring that the loans

being refinanced either be current in

their payments or meet certain credit

standard provisions. This appears to be

necessary to ensure that these loans are

made only when they provide a real

benefit to the veteran, and to protect the

financial interest of the Government.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before August 3, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Mail or hand deliver written

comments to: Director, Office of

Regulations Management (02D),

Department of Veterans Affairs, 810

Vermont Avenue, NW, Room 1154,

Washington, DC 20420. Comments

should indicate that they are submitted

in response to ‘‘RIN 2900–AI92.’’ All

written comments received will be

available for public inspection at the

above address, Room 1158, between the

hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday

through Friday (except holidays).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Judith Caden, Assistant Director for

Loan Policy (264), Loan Guaranty

Service, Veterans Benefits

Administration, Department of Veterans

Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW,

Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273–7368.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

authority of 38 U.S.C. chapter 37, VA

guarantees loans made by lenders to

eligible veterans to purchase, construct,

improve, or refinance their homes (the

term veteran as used in this document

includes any individual defined as a

veteran under 38 U.S.C. 101 and 3701

for the purpose of housing loans). This

document proposes to amend VA’s loan

guaranty regulations by revising the

requirements for VA-guaranteed Interest

Rate Reduction Refinancing Loans

(IRRRLs).

This proposed rule addresses the

same issues that were addressed in an

interim final rule which was established

in a document published in the Federal

Register on October 8, 1997 (62 FR

52503) and rescinded in a document

published in the Federal Register on

December 1, 1997 (62 FR 63454). The

interim final rule requested comments.

The comments submitted in response to

the interim final rule, in addition to

those comments received in response to

this proposed rule, will be considered

and will be discussed in the final rule

document. Also, we note that every

lender that participates in the VA home

loan guarantee program was sent a copy

of the provisions of the interim final
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 20, 2005 / Proposed Rules 75439 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as 

the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle 1, section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle 

VII, part A, subpart 1, section 40103, 

Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under 

that section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to ensure the 

safe and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority because it 

proposes to modify the Class E airspace 

sufficiently to contain aircraft executing 

instrument procedures at Sand Point 

Airport and represents the FAA’s 

continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans and Operating 

Permits Program; State of Iowa 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve 

revisions to the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) submitted by the state of 

Iowa. These revisions include the 

general rulemaking that Iowa completes 

for the purpose of updating various 

rules, making clarifications and other 

minor revisions. EPA is also proposing 

approval of revisions to the Iowa 

Operating Permits Program for the 

purpose of updating and clarifying 

various rules included in the general 

rulemaking. These revisions add new 

definitions, as well as an administrative 

correction to a previously submitted 

rule. Approval of these revisions will 

ensure consistency between the state 

and Federally-approved rules, and 

ensure Federal enforceability of the 

State’s revised air program rules. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

January 19, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07–

by e-mail at Hamilton.heather@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the rules section of this Federal 

Register.
