Streamlined Launch and Reentry Licensing Requirements; Extension of Comment Period, 25207-25208 [2019-11286]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 105 / Friday, May 31, 2019 / Proposed Rules necessary to keep them operationally current, and is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Environmental Review This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Background

    On March 26, 2019, the FAA posted a draft copy of the NPRM entitled

minimal changes, was published as Notice No. 19-01 in the Federal

on or before June 14, 2019.

    The FAA agrees with the petitioners' request for an extension of 
the comment period. It recognizes the content of the proposed rule is 
significant and complex, and that an extension would help commenters 
craft complete and thoughtful responses. Because the rule was posted on 
the FAA's website 20 days prior to its publication in the Federal 
Register, the FAA is extending the comment period an additional 45 
days. With this extension, the comment period will now close on July 
30, 2019. This will provide the public with a total of 125 days to 
conduct its review.
    The FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment 
period for this rulemaking.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with Sec.  11.47(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations, the FAA has reviewed the petitions for extension of the 
comment period for this notice. The petitioners have shown a 
substantive interest in the proposed policy and good cause for the 
extension of the comment period. The FAA has determined that an 
extension of the comment period for an additional 45 days to July 30, 
2019, is consistent with the public interest, and that good cause 
exists for taking this action.
    Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 19-01 is extended 
until July 30, 2019.
