reporting requirements with regard to unmanned aircraft accidents, 
found at 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 830, ``Notification 
and Reporting of Aircraft Accidents or Incidents and Overdue Aircraft, 
and Preservation of Aircraft Wreckage, Mail, Cargo, and Records.'' This 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is available at 73 FR 16826 (Mar. 31, 
2008). The NTSB is publishing this notice to inform the public that it 
is extending the comment period for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
to September 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After issuing the March 31, 2008, Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking concerning unmanned aircraft accidents, the NTSB 
discovered that a problem existed with the Web site, available at 
http://www.regulations.gov, that the NTSB listed in the Notice as one 
mechanism by which it would receive public comments. In particular, the 
NTSB subsequently determined that commenters were unable to submit 
comments through that Web site. The

[[Page 49156]]

NTSB has arranged for this problem to be corrected and verified that 
commenters may now access the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and submit 
comments via http://www.regulations.gov. As such, the NTSB is allowing 
the comment period for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to remain open 
until September 30, 2008. The NTSB notes that it received several 
comments via facsimile and postal mail; commenters who submitted 
comments via facsimile or postal mail need not resubmit them.
