Discussion

    On October 6, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register the 
Notices of availability for 11 of the 12 ACs related to the ``Enhanced 
Airworthiness Program for Airplane Systems'' proposed rule. The close 
of comment period date for these notices is December 5, 2005. The FAA 
published the Notice of availability for the twelfth AC, AC 120-XX, in 
the Federal Register on October 18, 2005. The close of comment period 
date for this AC is December 19, 2005. The proposed rule (70 FR 58508), 
which also was published on October 6, 2005, contains a close of 
comment period date of February 3, 2006. The FAA's intent was to have 
the same close of comment period date for the draft ACs and proposed 
rule.
    The following is a list of the draft ACs in question that are open 
for comment, and the Federal Register citations for the Notices of 
availability, which give information about the subject matter the ACs
