SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
The FAA invites interested people to take part in the development
of proposed airworthiness criteria for the Joby Model JAS4-1 powered-
lift by sending written comments, data, or views. Please identify the
Joby Model JAS4-1 and Docket No. FAA-2021-0638 on all submitted
correspondence. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion
of the airworthiness criteria, explain the reason for a recommended
change, and include supporting data. Except for Confidential Business
Information as described in the following paragraph, and other
information as described in 14 CFR 11.35, the FAA will file in the
docket all comments received, as well as a report summarizing each
substantive public contact with FAA personnel concerning these proposed
airworthiness criteria. Before acting on this proposal, the FAA will
consider all comments received on or before the closing date for
comments. The FAA will consider comments filed late if it is possible
to do so without incurring delay. The FAA may change these
airworthiness criteria based on received comments.
Confidential Business Information
Confidential Business Information (CBI) is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by
its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this notice contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this notice, it is important that you
clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page
of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat
such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will
not be placed in the public docket of this notice. Submissions
containing CBI should be sent to the individual listed under ``For
Further Information Contact.'' Any commentary that the FAA receives
that is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public
docket for this notice.
Extension of the Comment Period
The FAA recognizes that the public will benefit from adequate time
to review the notice of proposed airworthiness criteria. Therefore, in
accordance with Sec. 11.47(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, the FAA is extending the comment period for an additional
two weeks to December 22, 2022.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December 1, 2022.

Acting Deputy Director, Policy and Innovation Division, Aircraft
Certification Service.
