PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 On November 4, 2004, the Department of Transportation issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would amend 49 CFR Part 382, the Department’s regulation implementing the Air Carrier Access Act (69 FR 64364). The NPRM would apply the requirements of Part 382 to foreign air carriers, require air carrier web sites to be accessible to persons with impaired vision, and generally update and improve the organization of the existing regulation. The original comment closing date was February 2, 2005. The Air Transport Association (ATA) requested an extension of the comment period, in order to permit them to gather additional information from their members and present better-informed comments to the Department. They requested a 30-day extension of the comment period. This request was supported by comments from the International Air Transport Association, Regional Airline Association, and Air Carrier Association of America. The Department is granting the requested extension, which we hope will result in more thorough comments to the docket than might otherwise be possible, not only from ATA. We also urge, given the additional time provided by this extension, that commenters make every effort to provide detailed data concerning the issues they raise. Therefore, the Department of Transportation will extend the comment period 30 days, ending March 4, 2005. We do not anticipate the need for any further extensions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 4, 2004, the Department of 
Transportation issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would 
amend 49 CFR Part 382, the Department's regulation implementing the Air 
Carrier Access Act (69 FR 64364). The NPRM would apply the requirements 
of Part 382 to foreign air carriers, require air carrier web sites to 
be accessible to persons with impaired vision, and generally update and 
improve the organization of the existing regulation. The original 
comment closing date was February 2, 2005.
    The Air Transport Association (ATA) requested an extension of the 
comment period, in order to permit them to gather additional 
information from their members and present better-informed comments to 
the Department. They requested a 30-day extension of the comment 
period. This request was supported by comments from the International 
Air Transport Association, Regional Airline Association, and Air 
Carrier Association of America.
    The Department is granting the requested extension, which we hope 
will result in more thorough comments to the docket than might 
otherwise be possible, not only from ATA. We also urge, given the 
additional time provided by this extension, that commenters make every 
effort to provide detailed data concerning the issues they raise.
    Therefore, the Department of Transportation will extend the comment 
period 30 days, ending March 4, 2005. We do not anticipate the need for 
any further extensions.
