Discussion
The proposed Hawaii Air Tour
Common Procedures Manual supports
the operational guidance for all
commercial air tour operators
authorized to conduct operations below
1,500′ above the ground level (AGL)
within the state of Hawaii. Authorized
part 91 and part 135 operators will be
required to comply with the
requirements and limitations set forth in
this manual when it is adopted. Prior to
conducting commercial air tour
operations below 1,500′ AGL, pilots
must receive operator specific training
as outlined in the common procedures
manual for part 91 and 135 air tour
operators in the State of Hawaii. The
common procedures manual covers a
variety of training requirements and
operational requirements, including air
tour operations below 1,500′ AGL,
recurrent flight training, visibility
restrictions, map legend and definitions,
radio communications procedures,
Weather Enhanced Safety Areas
(WESA), site specific and enroute
operations. It also includes detailed
maps and photos, and over water
specific procedures for every island in
the state of Hawaii.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 17,
2008.

revised guidance concerning
‘‘Treatment of the Value of Preventing
Fatalities and Injuries in Preparing
Economic Analyses.’’ Based on an
improved understanding of relevant
academic research literature, the revised
guidance provides that the best present
estimate of the economic value of
preventing a human fatality is $5.8
million. In an advisory memorandum
issued concurrently with the revised
guidance to Secretarial Officers and
Modal Administrators, Assistant
Secretary for Transportation Policy
Tyler Duval and General Counsel D.J.
Gribbin instructed that the newly
adjusted $5.8 million human life value
should be used, effective immediately,
for analyses performed by the
Department. In addition, the
memorandum announced that the
Department will, for the first time,
require supplementary analyses at
values for a statistical life higher and
lower than the $5.8 million adjusted
value—specifically, assumptions of $3.2
million and $8.4 million for the value
associated with each life saved.
Consistent with the revised
Departmental guidance, FMCSA has
reassessed the regulatory analyses in
open rulemaking dockets to take
account of the adjusted human life
value. The revised guidance raising the
economic value of preventing a human
fatality and the accompanying policy
memorandum may be found on the DOT
Web site at: https://ostpxweb.ost.dot.gov/
policy/reports/080205.htm.
