ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice 

(See 77 FR 27835–27836, May 11, 2012 

and 77 FR 48201, August 13, 2012) the 

National Park Service (NPS) and the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

invited interested persons to apply to 

fill one upcoming opening on the 

National Parks Overflights Advisory 

Group (NPOAG) Aviation Rulemaking 

Committee (ARC). The notice invited 

interested persons to apply to fill a 

vacancy representing environmental 

concerns due to the incumbent 

member’s completion of a three-year 

term appointment on October 9, 2012. 

Since the previous notices did not draw 

enough responses from individuals for 

the open environmental vacancy, NPS 

and FAA are using this notice to invite 

other interested individuals to apply for 

the environmental opening. If you 

responded to either of the initial notices 

for the environmental opening, you will 

still be under consideration and need 

not re-apply. This notice also informs 

the public of another upcoming opening 

to represent commercial air tour 

operator interests due to an incumbent 

member’s completion of a three-year 

term appointment on May 19, 2013. 

DATES: Persons interested in applying 

for the NPOAG openings representing 

environmental concerns and 

commercial air tour operator interests 

need to apply by February 22, 2013.

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; Greg Miller, Kristen Brengel, 

and Dick Hingson representing 

environmental interests with one open 

seat; and Rory Majenty and Martin 

Begaye representing Native American 

tribes. 

Selection 

The member selected to represent 

environmental concerns will be filling a 

currently open seat. The member 

selected to represent commercial air 

tour operator interests will be filling 

incumbent Elling Halvorson’s seat 

which expires on May 19, 2013. Current 

members may apply for another term. 

The term of service for NPOAG ARC 

members is 3 years. 

Additional Openings 

In order to retain balance within the 

NPOAG ARC with these two openings, 

the FAA and NPS invite persons 

interested in representing 

environmental concerns and 

commercial air tour operator interests 

on the ARC to contact Mr. Keith Lusk 

(contact information is written above in 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Requests to serve on the ARC must be 

made to Mr. Lusk in writing and 

postmarked or emailed on or before 

February 22, 2013. The request should 

indicate whether or not you are a 

member of an association or group 

related to environmental issues or 

commercial air tour operator interests or 

have another affiliation with issues 

relating to aircraft flights over national 

parks. The request should also state 

what expertise you would bring to the 

NPOAG ARC as related to these issues 

and concerns. The term of service for 

NPOAG ARC members is 3 years.
