Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 223 / Thursday, November 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules helpful comments will reference a specific portion of the NPRM, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION Background [Docket No. CPSC–2011–0081] On October 2, 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued Notice No. 15–10, Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools (80 FR 59674) (October 2, 2015) (‘‘NPRM’’). The comment period for the NPRM ends on December 31, 2015. By letter dated October 26, 2015, the Petitioners jointly asked the FAA to extend the NPRM’s comment period by 90 days. The Petitioners believe that, with the additional time requested, the aviation industry and its partners in technical education will help the FAA develop a rule that supports schools, aids students at the beginning of a rewarding career, and serves an important growing industry. The FAA recognizes the NPRM’s contents are significant and complex and that a ninety-day comment period may not be sufficient. However, the FAA believes that a 90 day extension, for a total of 180 days, is excessive. We have determined that an additional 30 days will be enough for potential commenters to collect the cost and operational data necessary to provide meaningful comments to the NPRM (for a total of 120 days from October 2, 2015). Absent unusual circumstances, the FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment period for this rulemaking.

The FAA finds that the petitioners have a substantive interest in the proposed rule, and that an extension of the comment period for Notice No. 15–10 is consistent with the public interest, and that good cause exists for granting this extension. Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 15–10 is extended until February 1, 2016. Issued in Washington, DC, on November 16, 2015. Lirio Liu, Director, Office of Rulemaking.
