Background

On March 9, 1999, the FAA issued Notice No. 23-98-05-SC (64 FR 14401, March 25, 1999). This notice proposed special conditions for the Soloy Corporation Model Pathfinder 21 airplane. The proposal resulted from a request by Soloy Corporation for a supplemental type certificate for the Model Pathfinder 21 airplane.

On April 21, 1999, Soloy Corporation requested that the comment period be extended in order to allow them sufficient time to comment on the proposals. The comment period was scheduled to close April 26, 1999.

Conclusion

Soloy requested the special conditions originally, and the request to extend the comment period came from Soloy. In view of this fact, and since Soloy may provide additional technical information, the FAA agrees that it would be in the public interest to grant Soloy Corporation's request to extend the comment period. Since the request to extend the comment period arrived near the end of the comment period, the FAA has decided to reopen the comment period. Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 23-98-05-SC, Docket No. CE149, is reopened until July 1, 1999.
