Background
On April 5, 2010 [64 FR 17047], the
Federal Aviation Administration
published a policy statement entitled
‘‘Special Issuance of Airman Medical
Certificates to Applicants Being Treated
With Certain Antidepressant
Medications.’’ The FAA established a
public docket for this policy (FAA–
2009–0773) and opened a 30-day
comment period until May 5, 2010. The
Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) submitted a
comment, dated May 5, 2010, requesting
that the FAA extend the comment
period.
In its comment ALPA stated this
policy change is ‘‘an important step in
the direction of increasing airline
safety.’’ In ALPA’s view, however, ‘‘the
new protocol has raised a substantial
number of questions regarding its
application.’’ ALPA requested an
opportunity for a 45-day comment
period and specified that this comment
period should begin ‘‘after the FAA has
had the opportunity to answer the
specific questions raised about the
policy’s practical application.’’
The FAA has evaluated ALPA’s
request for additional time to comment
and is not opposed to re-opening the
comment period. Re-opening the
comment period for 45 days appears
unwarranted, however, given the few
comments received regarding the policy

26MYR1
29404
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
and its practical application during the
original 30-day comment period.
Therefore, the FAA will re-open the
comment period for 30 days.
ALPA has not formally submitted to
the public docket its specific questions
about the policy’s practical application
and, as mentioned, few commenters
provided input in this regard during the
open comment period. To receive
appropriate consideration, therefore, the
FAA requests specific information
regarding these concerns be provided
during the next 30 days of the re-opened
comment period.
Re-Opening of Comment Period
In accordance with Sec. 11.47(c) of
title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, the
FAA has reviewed ALPA’s comment for
extension of the comment period to
Docket FAA–2009–0773. Since the
comment period has already closed, the
FAA will re-open it for a period of 30
days. The petitioner has shown a
substantive interest in the policy and
has provided good cause to grant reopening of the comment period. The
FAA has determined that re-opening the
comment period is consistent with the
public interest and that good cause
exists for taking this action.
Accordingly, the comment period is
re-opened until June 25, 2010.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 20,
2010.

reporting requirements for those natural
gas pipelines that fall under the
Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant to
section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy
Act or section 1(c) of the Natural Gas

transactions, establish a procedure for
the Form No. 549D reports to be filed in
a uniform electronic format and posted
on the Commission’s Web site, and hold
that those reports must be public and
may not be filed with information
redacted as privileged. The Commission
is also modifying its policy concerning
periodic reviews of the rates charged by
section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines to
extend the cycle for such reviews from
3 years to 5 years.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule will
become effective April 1, 2011.
