The list of exempt parks published in this notice is the same as the initial list published on December 19, 2012. The list is based on IOA operational numbers only, since this is the only data currently available to FAA and NPS on the number of air tour operations at parks. The 2012 Act also included a provision that requires air tour operators to report their air tour operations over national parks. These reporting requirements were initiated on January 1, 2013. The full set of reporting data for 2013 will be available for FAA and NPS review in early 2014. Based on a review of the 2013 data, FAA and NPS will publish an updated list of exempt parks based on the actual operations conducted in the most recent calendar year. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III. List of Exempt Parks for Future Years The FAA and NPS will publish a list of exempt parks annually. The list could change from year to year since parks may be added to or removed from the exempt list based on the previous year’s number of annual operations. In order to continue to be exempt, a park must have 50 or fewer annual commercial air tour operations in any given calendar year. The list could also change if NPS withdraws an exempted park. NPS is authorized to withdraw a park from the exempt list if NPS determines that an air tour management plan or a voluntary agreement is necessary to protect park resources and values or park visitor use and enjoyment. Pursuant to the 2012 Act, the NPS shall inform the FAA in writing of each determination to withdraw an exemption. At parks that lose exempt status, operators will return to IOA requirements until an air tour management plan or a voluntary agreement has been established.
