SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA and NPS issued the proposed 
voluntary agreement for Statue of Liberty National Monument and 
Governors Island National Monument pursuant to the National Parks Air 
Tour Management Act of 2000 on October 21, 2022 and announced a 30-day 
comment period. A voluntary agreement manages commercial air tour 
operations over a national park by establishing conditions for the 
conduct of the commercial air tour operations that help protect park 
resources and visitor experience without compromising aviation safety 
or the air traffic control system. During the comment period, the 
agencies received requests to extend the public comment. As the 
previous comment period has closed, the agencies are now reopening 
comment for an additional 30 days.
    Written comments on the proposed voluntary agreement can be 
submitted via PEPC. The voluntary agreement document is also available 
at the PEPC site link included in the ADDRESSES section above. Comments 
will not be accepted by fax, email, or any other way than those 
specified above. All written comments become part of the official 
record. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

    Issued in El Segundo, CA, on November 25, 2022.
