SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
23, 2014, the Department published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
on transparency of airline ancillary fees
and other consumer protection issues
which sought comment on a number of
proposals to enhance protections for air
travelers and improve the air travel
environment. Comments on the matters
proposed were to be received 90 days
after publication of the NPRM, or by
August 21, 2014. On July 31, 2014, the
Department extended the comment
period to September 22, 2014 as it was
persuaded that more time was needed
because of the complexity of the
proposals. With this document, the
Department is further extending the
comment period to September 29, 2014
to provide all interested parties two full
weeks to review the summary of an
August 7 meeting that DOT posted in
the rulemaking docket on September 15,
2014, affording commenters the
opportunity, if necessary, to revise their
comments prior to submission, or to
supplement any previously filed
comments. We do not anticipate any
further extension of the comment period
for this rulemaking, but we will
consider comments filed after the close
of the comment period to the extent
possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
12, 2013 (78 FR 35178), HUD published
a Federal Register document that
established the Native American
Housing and Self-Determination
Formula Negotiated Rulemaking
Committee, 2013 (Committee). The
purpose of the Committee is to develop
regulatory changes to the funding
formula for the Indian Housing Block
Grant (IHBG) program authorized by the
Native American Housing Assistance
and Self-Determination Act of 1996.
In carrying out its charter, the
Committee is reviewing the need to
update the data source upon which the
needs variables will be determined.
Currently, 24 CFR 1000.330 provides
that the need variables are based on data
from the U.S. Decennial Census. After
the 2000 Census, the U.S. Census
Bureau discontinued using the long
form portion of the Decennial Census
and replaced it with the ACS. The ACS,
unlike the U.S. Decennial Census, is an
ongoing statistical survey by the U.S.
Census Bureau that regularly samples
household across the country to gather
information. In considering various
alternative data source options, the
Committee considered basing the need
variables on the ACS. Several

Committee members expressed concerns
regarding the use of ACS.
The Committee agreed to establish a
Study Group to identify and review all
relevant data sources, including the
ACS, and determine for each data
source whether it might be used or
modified to serve as the basis for the
needs variables of the IHBG formula.
This document seeks information from
members of the public that could assist
the Study Group by identifying and
reviewing one or more existing data
sources that might serve as the basis for
the needs variables.
The Committee requests a data source
and method of introducing that data
source that achieves an optimal balance
of the following factors: Recognizes
Tribal sovereignty; provides data that is
relevant to eligible AIAN housing needs;
and has a data collection methodology
that is objective, equitable, transparent,
consistent, capable of being applied to
all existing formula areas, statistically
reliable, and replicable both over time
and diverse geographies. Data should be
collected and submitted by proficient
persons or organizations that have
appropriate capacity and training and
should be collected on a recurring basis
at reasonable intervals or be capable of
reliable statistical aging. Finally, the
data source should not impose an undue
administrative or financial burden upon
Tribes, be cost-effective, and be capable
of being fully evaluated by the Study
Group within a one-year timeframe.
