SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 17, 2023, DOT published a RFI in the 
Federal Register seeking public comment on critical issues of 
importance in drafting a national advanced air mobility (AAM) strategy. 
(88 FR 31593) The RFI stated that the comment period would close on 
July 17, 2023. DOT received several requests to extend the comment 
period. The requestors state that comments to the RFI are due within 
two weeks of the Federal Aviation Administration's request for comments 
on the agency's review of the Civil Aviation Noise Policy, that having 
two complicated and technical Federal Register notices due nearly at 
the same time, during the middle of summer vacation, creates an undue 
hardship on the public, and that a more robust response would require 
an additional 60 days. DOT is granting commenters' request for an 
extension of the comment period to the RFI through August 16, 2023.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 21, 2023.
Carlos Monje,
Under Secretary for Policy, Department of Transportation.
