Proposal To Consider the Impact of One Engine Inoperative 
Procedures in Obstruction Evaluation Aeronautical Studies

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Proposed policy; notice of public meeting and extension of 
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA will hold a public meeting to discuss its proposal to 
consider the impact of one engine inoperative procedures during 
aeronautical studies. This proposal was published in the Federal 
Register on April 28, 2014. During the meeting, the FAA will explain 
the proposal and respond to questions seeking clarification of the 
proposed policy. In addition, the FAA is extending the time period for 
which the public may submit written comments for an additional 30 days.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed policy published April 28, 
2014 (79 FR 23300), is extended. The meeting will be held online with a 
teleconference on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 
eastern time. Written public comments regarding this FAA proposed 
policy should be submitted by July 28, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Speckin, Airport Obstruction 
Standards Committee, Region and Center Operations, Office of Finance 
and Management, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence 
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (816) 329-3053; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 28, 2014, the FAA published for 
public comment a proposal to amend its policy concerning the impacts of 
certain structures during aeronautical studies conducted under Title 14 
of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 77. Specifically, the FAA 
proposed to consider the impact of one engine out procedures when 
studying new structures or modifications to existing structures at 
certain airports that have a defined departure area for each runway end 
supporting commercial service operations. FAA is proposing to factor 
these impacts into the aeronautical study process because the 
encroachment of airspace by structures surrounding certain airports 
appears to be significantly limiting options available to airlines to 
establish OEI procedures. Registration for the meeting is required by 
June 23, 2014. To register, email [email protected] 
with your name and the company or organization you are representing. In 
a response email, the attendees will be provided with instructions on 
how to connect to the online meeting and the teleconference. In the 
public meeting, the FAA will provide a slide presentation to further 
explain the proposed policy. Participants will be able to submit 
questions utilizing the instant message application of the online tool. 
In addition, the FAA is extending the time period for which the public 
may submit written comments for an additional 30 days.
