Commenters must identify the VAT Model S-52L on all submitted correspondence. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the airworthiness standards, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA will consider all comments received on or before the closing date before issuing the final acceptance. We will consider comments filed late if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may change the proposed airworthiness standards based on received comments. Background On September 26, 2018, the FAA issued a notice of availability; request for comments, entitled “Proposed Primary Category Design Standards; Vertical Aviation Technologies

(VAT)Model S-52L Rotorcraft” (83 FR 48574) (“notice of availability”). The notice of availability established a 60-day comment period. The FAA finds that a 30-day comment period is sufficient for the public to analyze and provide meaningful comment to notice of availability. The date by which to file comments is therefore shortened from November 26, 2018, to October 26, 2018. The FAA does not anticipate any further action to be taken regarding this comment period. Shortening of Comment Period Accordingly, the comment period for the notice of availability has been shortened to close on October 26, 2018. Issued in Ft Worth, Texas, on September 27, 2018. Jorge Castillo, Acting Manager, Rotorcraft Standards Branch, Policy and Innovation Division, Aircraft Certification Service. [FR Doc. 2018-21661 Filed 10-5-18; 8:45 am]
