Discussion

On October 6, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register the Notices of availability for 11 of the 12 ACs related to the ``Enhanced Airworthiness Program for Airplane Systems'' proposed rule. The close of comment period date for these notices is December 5, 2005. The FAA published the Notice of availability for the twelfth AC, AC 120-XX, in the Federal Register on October 18, 2005. The close of comment period date for this AC is December 19, 2005. The proposed rule (70 FR 58508), which also was published on October 6, 2005, contains a close of comment period date of February 3, 2006. The FAA's intent was to have the same close of comment period date for the draft ACs and proposed rule.

The following is a list of the draft ACs in question that are open for comment, and the Federal Register citations for the Notices of availability, which give information about the subject matter the ACs address:

AC 25-XX--Subpart I, Continued Airworthiness and Safety Improvements (70 FR 58567) AC 25-YY--Development of Standard Wiring Practices Documentation (70 FR 58562) AC 25.1353-1--Electrical Equipment and Installations (70 FR 58564) AC 25.1357-1X--Circuit Protective Devices (70 FR 58565) AC 25.1360-1X--Protection Against Injury (70 FR 58565) AC 25.1362-1X--Electrical Supplies for Emergency Conditions (70 FR 58566) AC 25.1365-1X--Electrical Appliances, Motors, and Transformers (70 FR 58566) AC 25.17XX--Certification of Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems on Transport Category Airplanes (70 FR 58562) AC 25.869-1--Fire Protection Systems (70 FR 58563) AC 25.899-1--Electrical Bonding and Protection Against Static Electricity (70 FR 58564) AC 120-YY--Aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems Training Program (70 FR 58563) AC 120-XX--Program to Enhance Transport Category Airplane Electrical Wiring Interconnection System Maintenance (70 FR 60597)

With this action, the FAA extends the comment period for each of the 12 draft ACs to February 3, 2006 to coincide with the comment period for the EAPAS proposed rule.
