SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction

    On July 30, 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration published a 
Notice of Proposed Policy in the Federal Register at 77 FR 44515 
proposing an FAA policy, based on Federal law, concerning through-the-
fence access to a federally obligated airport from an adjacent or 
nearby property, when that property is used as a residence. The Notice 
also proposed to limit application of the FAA's previously published 
interim policy (76 FR 15028; March 18, 2011) to commercial service 
airports that certified existing residential through-the-fence access 
agreements and rescind applicability of this interim policy with regard 
to certain general aviation airports consistent with section 136 of 
Public Law 112-95. In addition, that notice described how the FAA will 
interpret provisions of the law pertaining to

residential through-the-fence access and invited comments.
    There was an inadvertent omission in the Notice which FAA is 
correcting through this amendment. In the Addresses paragraph, the FAA 
inadvertently omitted the applicable Department of Transportation 
Docket Number.

Correction

    In the document published on July 30, 2012 (77 FR 44515) FR Doc. 
2010-18058, on page 44515 in column 3, under the heading ADDRESSES 
paragraph of this document, replace ``Docket Number FAA-2012-XXX'' with 
``Docket Number FAA-2012-0754''.

Extension of Time To Comment

    The Experimental Aircraft Association requested the FAA extend the 
comment period an additional two weeks. The FAA believes this is a 
reasonable request and hereby extends the comment period to September 
14, 2012.

    Dated: Issued in Washington, DC, on August 22, 2012.
