Comment Period Extension

    On March 11, 2002, the Air Carrier Association of America (ACAA), 
the Cargo Airline Association (CAA), the National Air Carrier 
Association (NACA) and the Regional Airline Association (RAA), filed a 
petition for a thirty (30) day extension of the comment period on TSA's 
Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee interim final rule (see 67 FR 
7926, February 20, 2002). Although TSA believes that the comment period 
is adequate, TSA has decided to grant, in part, the petitioners' 
request for an extension and will extend the comment period for fifteen 
(15) days. The comment period will now end on April 2, 2002. This 
extension will allow the commercial airline industry and other 
interested entities or individuals additional time to complete their 
comments on the interim final rule.
