Background
The National Parks Air Tour
Management Act of 2000 (NPATMA),
enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law
106–181, required the establishment of
the NPOAG within one year after its
enactment. The Act requires that the
NPOAG be a balanced group of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:32 Aug 28, 2008
Jkt 214001
representatives of general aviation,
commercial air tour operations,
environmental concerns, and Native
American tribes. The Administrator of
the FAA and the Director of NPS (or
their designees) serve as ex officio
members of the group. Representatives
of the Administrator and Director serve
alternating 1-year terms as chairman of
the advisory group.
The duties of the NPOAG include
providing advice, information, and
recommendations to the FAA
Administrator and the NPS Director on:
Implementation of Public Law 106–181;
quiet aircraft technology; other
measures that might accommodate
interests of visitors to national parks;
and at the request of the Administrator
and the Director, on safety,
environmental, and other issues related
to commercial air tour operations over
national parks or tribal lands.
Agenda for the September 3–4, 2008
NPOAG Meeting
The agenda for the meeting will
include, but is not limited to, the
following: Development of a Strategic
Plan, review and approval of the
meeting minutes from the September
25–26, 2007 NPOAG meeting in Fort
Collins, CO; update on ongoing Air Tour
Management Program projects; and
NPOAG subgroup assignments.
Attendance at the Meetings
Although this is not a public meeting,

Federal Highway

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Section 1114 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59;
119 Stat. 1144) continued the highway
bridge program to enable States to
improve the condition of their highway
bridges over waterways, other
topographical barriers, other highways,
and railroads. Section 1114(f) amends
23 U.S.C. 144 by adding subsection (r),
requiring the Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) to publish in
the Federal Register a report describing
construction materials used in new
Federal-aid bridge construction and
bridge rehabilitation projects.
DATES: The report will be posted on the
FHWA Web site no later than August
10, 2008.
ADDRESSES: The report will be posted on
the FHWA Web site at: https://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/britab.htm.

New Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC

to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
conformance with 23 U.S.C. 144(r), the
FHWA has produced a report that
summarizes the types of construction
materials used in new bridge
construction and bridge rehabilitation
projects. Data on Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highway bridges are
included in the report for completeness.
The December 2007 National Bridge
Inventory (NBI) dataset was used to
identify the material types for bridges
that were new or replaced within the
defined time period. The FHWA’s
Financial Management Information
System (FMIS) and the 2007 NBI were
used to identify the material types for
bridges that were rehabilitated within
the defined time period. Currently
preventative maintenance projects are
included in the rehabilitation totals.

tables:
• Construction Materials for New and
Replaced Bridges, a summary report
which includes Federal-aid highways
and non-Federal-aid highways built in
2006 and 2005.
• Construction Materials for
Rehabilitated Bridges, a summary report
which includes Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highways rehabilitated in
2006 and 2005.
• Construction Materials for
Combined New, Replaced and
Rehabilitated Bridges, a summary report
which combines the first two tables
cited above.
• Federal-aid Highways: Construction

with counts and areas for Federal-aid
bridges built or replaced in 2006.
• Federal-aid Highways: Construction

2005, a detailed state-by-state report
with counts and areas for Federal-aid
bridges built or replaced in 2005.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:
Construction Materials for New and
Replaced Bridges 2006, a detailed stateby-state report with counts and areas for
non-Federal-aid bridges built or
replaced in 2006.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:

non-Federal-aid bridges built or
replaced in 2005.

with counts and areas for Federal-aid
bridges rehabilitated in 2005.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:

Federal-aid bridges rehabilitated in
2006.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:

report with counts and areas for non
Federal-aid bridges rehabilitated in
2005.

combines the 2006 reports on new,
replaced and rehabilitated Federal-aid
bridges.

combines the 2005 reports on new,
replaced and rehabilitated non-Federalaid bridges.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:

2006, which combines the 2006 reports
on new, replaced and rehabilitated non
Federal-aid bridges.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:
Construction Materials for New
Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges
2006, which combines the 2006 reports
on new, replaced and rehabilitated nonFederal-aid bridges.
The tables provide data for two years:
2005 and 2006. The 2005 data is
considered complete for new, replaced
and rehabilitated bridges, with a
minimal likelihood of upward changes
in the totals. The 2006 data is
considered partially complete for new
bridges and complete for rehabilitated
bridges, because many new bridges built
in 2006 will not appear in the NBI until
they are placed into service the
following year. Therefore, next year’s
report will include 2006’s data on new
bridge construction, because the data
will be complete.
Each table displays simple counts of
bridges and total bridge deck area. Total
bridge deck area is measured in square
meters, by multiplying the bridge length
by the deck width out-to-out. Culverts
under fill are included in the counts but
not in the areas because a roadway
width is not collected. The data is
categorized by the following material
types, which are identified in the NBI:
steel, concrete, pre-stressed concrete
and other. The category ‘‘Other’’
includes wood, timber, masonry,
aluminum, wrought iron, cast iron and
other. Material type is the predominate
type for the main span(s).
