ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On October 25, 2002, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published the final rule for Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 136, National Parks Air Tour Management (67 FR 65662). The rule became effective on January 23, 2003. On January 27, 2005, the FAA published a notice of opportunity for commercial air tour operators granted interim operating authority (IOA) under the National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 (the Act) to review and selfcorrect annual authorizations (70 FR 3972). based on the responses to that notice, the FAA made some corrections to interim operating authority. The Act also requires the interim operating authority granted under the Act to be published in the Federal Register for notice and the opportunity for comment. This notice fulfills that statutory requirement. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gene Kirkendall, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591; PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 telephone (202) 385–4510; e-mail Gene.Kirkendall@FAA.GOV. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 25, 2002, the FAA published a final rule in 14 CFR part 136, National Parks Air Tour Management (67 FR 65662), pursuant to the mandates specified in the Act, enacted on April 5, 2000. This final rule (part 136) completed the definition of ‘‘commercial air tour operation’’ by establishing the altitude (5,000 feet above ground level) below which an operator flying over a national park for the purpose of sightseeing would be classified as a commercial air tour operator. The rule also codified provisions of the Act. In accordance with 14 CFR 136.7(b), before commencing commercial air tour operations over a unit of the national park system or tribal lands within or abutting a national park, a commercial air tour operator is required to apply to the Administrator for authority to conduct the operations over the park or tribal lands. Title 14 CFR 136.11(a) states that: ‘‘Upon application for operating authority, the Administrator shall grant interim operating authority under this section to a commercial air tour operator for commercial air tour operations over a national park or tribal land for which the operator is an existing commercial air tour operator.’’ Consistent with the Act, 14 CFR 136.11(b)(3) also states that IOA granted under that section would be published in the Federal Register to provide notice and opportunity for comment. Prior to issuing this notice, the FAA became aware that there may have been some errors in the number of commercial air tours initially reported and received. There are several reasons why these errors could have occurred, such as (1) Operators were not required to keep records of the number of commercial air tours conducted over national parks prior to the adoption of the Act; (2) there was a 21⁄2 year time lapse between the passage of the Act and the effective date of the part 136 rule; and (3) there appeared to have been confusion over how to initially report information, especially for operators flying over more than one park. The FAA understood that operators should have requested and received IOA that reflects the actual number of commercial air tours that were conducted during the relevant time period set forth in the statute and the rule and that every effort should be made to standardize the counting of flights requiring IOA. Consequently, the FAA provided an opportunity for air tour operators to E:\FR\FM\23JNN1.SGM 23JNN1
