17910 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 74 / Monday, April 20, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

combining two or more of these areas 

(e.g., research and extension). 

Purpose of the 1890 Institution Capacity 

Building Grants Program 

The 1890 Capacity Building Grants 

Program is intended to fund projects 

that build teaching, research, and 

extension capacity in the food and 

agricultural sciences at colleges and 

universities having significant minority 

enrollments, and pursuant to annual 

appropriations made available 

specifically by Congress for the 1890 

Institutions. The program is designed to 

build the institutional teaching, 

research, and extension capacities of the 

eligible institutions through cooperative 

programs with Federal and non-Federal 

entities. The program is designed to 

achieve three major goals: 

(1) To advance cultural diversity of 

the food and agricultural scientific and 

professional work force by attracting 

and educating more students from 

underrepresented groups; 

(2) To strengthen linkages among the 

1890 Institutions, other colleges and 

universities, USDA, and private 

industry; and 

(3) To enhance the quality of teaching, 

research, and extension programs at the 

1890 Institutions to more readily 

establish them as full partners in the 

U.S. food and agricultural sciences 

higher education system. 

Implementation Plans 

In developing the FY 2009 1890 

Institution Capacity Building Grants 

Program RFA and the program-specific 

administrative regulations for this 

program as subpart L to 7 CFR part 

3430, Competitive and Noncompetitive 

Non-Formula Federal Assistance 

Programs—General Award 

Administrative Provisions, CSREES 

plans to consider all stakeholder input 

and the written comments received in 

response to this notice. CSREES 

anticipates releasing the FY 2009 RFA 

by May 31, 2009.

Background 

On January 12, 2009, the Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA) issued 

Notice No. 08–07, Qualification, 

Service, and Use of Crewmembers and 

Aircraft Dispatchers (74 FR 1280). 

Comments to that document were to be 

received on or before May 12, 2009. 

By letter dated April 3, 2009, the Air 

Transport Association of America, Inc., 

Air Carrier Association of America, 

Regional Airline Association, and 

National Air Carrier Association on 

behalf of their members, and Airbus 

Americas, Inc. requested that the FAA 

extend the comment period for Notice 

No. 08–07 for 180 days. They requested 

the extension so the public has 

sufficient time to review and comment 

on the extensive and complex proposed 

rule. 

While the FAA concurs with the 

petitioners’ requests for an extension of 

the comment period on Notice No. 08– 

07, the FAA believes that a 180-day 

extension would be excessive. As Notice 

No. 08–07 is lengthy, the FAA provided 

a 120-day comment period. Although 

the FAA agrees that additional time for 

comments may be needed, this need 

must be balanced against the need to 

proceed expeditiously with an 

important rulemaking. The FAA 

believes an additional 90 days would be 

adequate for these petitioners to provide 

meaningful comment to Notice No. 08– 

07. The FAA does not anticipate any 

further extension of the comment period 

for this rulemaking. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with section 11.47(c) of 

title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

FAA has reviewed the petition made by 

the Air Transport Association of 

America, Inc., Air Carrier Association of 

America, Regional Airline Association, 

and the National Air Carrier Association 

on behalf of their members, and Airbus 

Americas, Inc. for extension of the 

comment period to Notice No. 08–07. 

These petitioners have shown a 

substantive interest in the proposed rule 

and good cause for the extension. The 

FAA has determined that extension of 

the comment period is consistent with 

the public interest, and that good cause 

exists for taking this action. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

Notice No. 08–07 is extended until 

August 10, 2009. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 15, 

2009.

Director, Office of Rulemaking.
