SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces that it
will no longer prepare an Air Tour
Management Plan (ATMP) and
Environmental Assessment (EA) for
commercial air tour operations over
Kalaupapa National Historical Park
(NHP), at Molokai, Hawaii. The FAA
has stopped work on preparation of the
ATMP and EA based upon no further
operating authority interest by
commercial air tour operators who had
been granted Interim Operating
Authority to conduct commercial air
tour operations over the park unit and
there are no new entrant requests to
conduct commercial air tour operations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Los Angeles, California 90009–2007.
Telephone: (310) 725–3818. E-mail:
Pete.Ciesla@faa.gov.
In
February 2004, the FAA in cooperation
with the National Park Service (NPS)
initiated development of an ATMP for
Kalaupapa NHP, pursuant to the
National Parks Air Tour Management
Act of 2000 (Public Law 106–181) and
its implementing regulations contained
in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations,
part 136, National Parks Air Tour
Management. The ATMP process for
Kalaupapa NHP was initiated based on
receipt of applications for Operating
Authority from existing commercial air
tour operators to conduct commercial
air tour operations over this park unit.
In accordance with the Act and
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00124
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Regulations, the FAA issued Interim
Operating Authority for these
commercial air tour operators to
conduct air tours over the park. The
FAA and NPS also began preparing an
EA to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act, which
requires Federal agencies to consider
the environmental issues associated
with a Federal action. The FAA had
been notified by the commercial air tour
operators that had requested Operating
Authority, that they are no longer
conducting commercial air tour
operations over Kalaupapa NHP,
indicating their intent not to conduct
commercial air tours below 5,000 feet
above ground level over or within onehalf mile of this park unit. The FAA has
removed the Interim Operating
Authority from the Operations
Specifications for these commercial air
tour operators to conduct commercial
air tour operations over the park. Since
there are no existing commercial air tour
operators nor any new entrants seeking
to conduct commercial air tour
operations over Kalaupapa NHP, the
FAA has determined that the purpose
and need for an ATMP no longer exist.
The FAA has decided to stop work and
discontinue preparation of the ATMP
and EA for Kalaupapa NHP.
