SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    On July 14, the FAA published a notice in the Federal Register (65 
FR 43802) requesting comments on the proposed policy document, Aviation 
Noise Abatement Policy 2000. This proposed FAA policy document 
reaffirms and incorporates the major tenets of the 1976 Aviation Noise 
Abatement Policy and includes subsequent developments. Several 
commenters requested additional time to respond to this policy, so the 
FAA is extending the opportunity for pubic comment from August 28 to 
October 23. This extension allows for a total comment period of 101 
days so that interested persons can have sufficient time to express 
their concerns and contribute their suggestions to the policy.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 18, 2000.
Paul R. Dykeman,
Deputy Director of Environment and Energy.
