Notice.
By Federal Register notice
(See 74 FR 16442; April 10, 2009) the
National Park Service (NPS) and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
invited interested persons to apply to
fill six upcoming openings on the
National Parks Overflights Advisory
Group (NPOAG) Aviation Rulemaking
Committee (ARC). The notice invited
interested persons to apply to fill six
vacancies representing commercial air
tour operators (2), general aviation (1),
Native American tribal (1), and
environmental (2) concerns due to the
incumbent members’ completion of
three-year term appointments on
October 9, 2009. This notice informs the
public of the persons selected to fill four
of the six vacancies on the NPOAG
ARC. Vacancies filled include the two
commercial tour operator openings, the
general aviation opening, and one of the
environmental openings. Since the
previous notice did not draw enough
responses from individuals for the
Native American tribal opening or the
remaining environmental vacancy, NPS
and FAA are also using this notice to
invite other interested individuals to
apply for these two remaining openings.
If you responded to the initial notice, for
either the Native American tribal or
environmental openings, you will still
be under consideration and need not reapply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The National Parks Air Tour
Management Act of 2000 (the Act) was
enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law
106–181. The Act required the
establishment of the advisory group
within 1 year after its enactment. The
NPOAG was established in March 2001.
The advisory group is comprised of a
balanced group of 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.
In accordance with the Act, the
advisory group provides ‘‘advice,
information, and recommendations to
the Administrator and the Director—
(1) On the implementation of this title
[the Act] and the amendments made by
this title;
(2) On commonly accepted quiet
aircraft technology for use in
commercial air tour operations over a
national park or tribal lands, which will
receive preferential treatment in a given
air tour management plan;
(3) On other measures that might be
taken to accommodate the interests of
visitors to national parks; and
(4) At the request of the Administrator
and the Director, safety, environmental,
and other issues related to commercial
air tour operations over a national park
or tribal lands.’’
Membership
The current NPOAG ARC is made up
of one member representing general
aviation, three members representing
the commercial air tour industry, four
members representing environmental
concerns, and two members
representing Native American interests.
Current members of the NPOAG ARC
are as follows:
Heidi Williams representing general
aviation; Alan Stephen, Elling
Halvorson, and Matthew Zuccaro
representing commercial air tour
operators; Chip Dennerlein, Greg Miller,
Kristen Brengel, and Don Barger
representing environmental interests;
and Rory Majenty and Richard
Deertrack representing Native American
tribes.

vacancies, for additional terms, are
