[Docket No. 28577; Notice No. 96-4]
RIN 2120-AG11


Special Flight Rules in the Vicinity of the Rocky Mountain 
National Park

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document announces an extension of the comment period on 
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), which proposes to establish a 
Special Federal Aviation Regulation to preserve the natural quiet of 
Rocky Mountain National Park from any potential adverse impact from 
aircraft-based sightseeing overflights. This action is being taken to 
rectify the discrepancy of the comment period closing date between the 
NPRM published in the Federal Register and the closing date of the NPRM 
located in the FAA Rules Docket.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 19, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this NPRM should be mailed, in triplicate to: 
Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel, 
Attention: Rules Docket (AGC-200), Docket No. 28577, 800 Independence 
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591. Comments may also be sent 
electronically to the Rules Docket by using the following Internet 
address: [email protected]. Comments must be marked Docket No. 
28577. Comments may be examined in the Rules Docket in Room 915G on 
weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except on Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Notice No. 96-4 was placed on immediate display at the Federal 
Register on May 10, 1996, and published on May 15, 1996 (61 FR 24582). 
This Notice, as published, provided for a 90 day comment period to 
close on August 13, 1996. The FAA Rules Docket inadvertently stamped 
the wrong date on the copy of the notice located in the docket room at 
FAA Headquarters that comments to Notice No. 96-4 must be received on 
or before August 18, 1996, which falls on a Sunday. To afford all 
interested persons, especially those who relied on the closing date of 
the comment period provided for in the FAA Docket, the opportunity to 
comment on the proposal, the FAA extends the comment period, as 
published in the Federal Register, to coincide with the closing date of 
the comment period as provided for in the FAA Docket. Therefore, 
comments on this Notice should be received on or before August 19, 
1996.

Extension of Comment Period

    The comment period closing date on Notice No. 96-4, Special Flight 
Rules in the Vicinity of the Rocky Mountain National Park, is hereby 
extended to August 19, 1996.

    Issued in Washington, DC on July 17, 1996.

Acting Program Director for Air Traffic, Airspace Management.
