(SRA)in the ICON A5 at a weight above the current Light-Sport Aircraft
(LSA)definition. The FAA requested that comments on the petition be received on or before June 13, 2012, which allowed for a 20 day comment period as suggested by 14 CFR 11.89. By petition submitted June 28, 2012, Independent Aircraft Inc. requested that the FAA reopen the comment period for 90 days to allow additional time to address issues associated with an increase in weight of the ICON A5. Since Independent Aircraft Inc. has already submitted their comments the FAA will reopen the comment period for an additional 10 days, in lieu of the 90 days requested, to assure that these and any other comments that may be received will be given full consideration. *Reopening of the Comment Period:* The FAA has reviewed the request made by Independent Aircraft Inc. for additional time to comment to the petition for exemption (Docket No. FAA-2012-0514.) The petitioner has shown a substantive interest in the petition and good cause for additional time to comment. The FAA has determined that reopening the comment period is consistent with the public interest, and that good cause exists for taking this action. Accordingly, the comment period for the petition for exemption [Docket No.: FAA-2012-0514] is reopened until July 27, 2012. This notice is published pursuant to 14 CFR 11.85. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 9, 2012. Lirio Liu, Acting Director, Office of Rulemaking. [FR Doc. 2012-17370 Filed 7-16-12; 8:45 am]
