SUMMARY: This notice announces an extension of time to submit comments 
concerning the notice entitled, ``A Call for the Development of 
Prototype(s) for a Global Analysis and Information Network (GAIN).'' 
The FAA proposed GAIN to facilitate the collection, analysis, and 
dissemination of aviation safety information to help the industry reach 
Zero Accidents. Due to considerable interest in GAIN, the FAA is 
extending the comment period to July 19, 1996, to facilitate the 
preparation of comprehensive comments concerning the GAIN concept.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 10, 1996, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) issued a notice [Notice] entitled, ``A Call for 
the Development of Prototype(s) for a Global Analysis and Information 
Network (GAIN)'' (61 FR 21522). The Notice solicited comments from all 
interested parties on the GAIN concept and implementation strategy for 
collecting and analyzing aviation safety data, and invited 
participation in the development of proof-of-concept prototypes. The 
comment period for this Notice was originally scheduled to end June 14, 
1996.
    However, in order to give interested parties sufficient time to 
prepare comprehensive comments concerning the issues raised in the May 
10, 1996, Notice, the FAA has determined that it is in the public 
interest to extend the comment period. In light of considerable 
interest in the GAIN concept, this extension will allow commenters 
additional time to submit information. The additional time should 
result in more comprehensive comments, which in turn will facilitate 
more productive communications between commenters and more fruitful 
exploration of potential joint ventures prior to the FAA hosting a 
conference to discuss refinements of the GAIN concept and prototype(s) 
development.
    Accordingly, the comment period will close on July 19, 1996.

Issued in Washington, DC on June 11, 1996.
Christopher A. Hart,
Assistant Administrator for System Safety.
