SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
A Notice published in the Federal Register (81 FR 72145, October
19, 2016), entitled ``Applicability of National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Review of Airport
Wildlife Hazard Management Plans'' requested clarification of Wildlife
Hazard Management Plan (WHMP) Program and Policy Guidance Letter 92
issued in 2006. The clarification concerns how federal environmental
laws apply to FAA approval of a new or updated WHMP.
The notice requested that interested parties submit written
comments by November 18, 2016. On November 18, 2016, an airport
industry association requested an extension to the comment period.
After careful consideration, the FAA has decided to extend the comment
period until January 17, 2017.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 23, 2016.
Elliott Black,
Director, Office of Airport Planning and Programming.
