SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After issuing the August 12, 2014 Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking concerning the NTSB's event investigation 
procedures (79 FR 47064), representatives from other Federal agencies 
contacted the NTSB to inform us they would need more time to submit 
comments. After considering these requests, and in light of the 
comprehensive nature of the NPRM, we believe it prudent to extend the 
comment period to October 31, 2014.
    In accordance with 49 CFR 800.24(c), the Board has delegated to the 
General Counsel the authority to ``[a]pprove or disapprove, for good 
cause shown, requests to extend the time for filing comments on 
proposed new or amended regulations.'' I find good cause exists to 
provide the public additional time to submit thorough comments. Based 
on this authority, I submit this notice to extend the comment period 
for the NPRM concerning 49 CFR part 831 to October 31, 2014.

David K. Tochen,
General Counsel.
