for Comments on the Percentage of Fabrication and

Airworthiness Certificate for an Amateur-Built 

Aircraft; Extension of Comment Period (73 FR 

43278, July 24, 2008). 

4The FAA reopened the comment period because 

the proposed Order 8130.2F and AC 20–27G had 

been inadvertently removed from the FAA Web site 

during the comment period. (See 73 FR 65007, 

October 31, 2008.) 

5 20/20/11 was an FAA proposal requiring an 

amateur builder to fabricate a minimum 20 percent 

of an aircraft and assemble a minimum of 20 

percent of the aircraft. 

events for involvement will be detailed 

in the public involvement program. 

The Paperwork Reduction Act seeks, 

in part, to minimize the cost to the 

taxpayer of the creation, collection, 

maintenance, use, dissemination, and 

disposition of information. Consistent 

with this goal and with principles of 

economy and efficiency in government, 

it is FTA policy to limit insofar as 

possible distribution of complete 

printed sets of environmental 

documents. Accordingly, unless a 

specific request for a complete printed 

set of environmental documents is 

received (preferably in advance of 

printing), FTA and its grantees will 

distribute only the executive summary 

of the environmental document together 

with a Compact Disc of the complete 

environmental document. A complete 

printed set of the environmental 

document is available for review at the 

grantee’s offices and elsewhere; an 

electronic copy of the complete 

environmental document is also 

available on http://www.vta.org. 

The Supplemental Draft EIS will be 

prepared in accordance with NEPA and 

its implementing regulations issued by 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508) and with the 

FTA/Federal Highway Administration 

regulations ‘‘Environmental Impact and 

Related Procedures’’ (23 CFR part 771). 

In accordance with 23 CFR 771.105(a) 

and 771.133, FTA will comply with all 

Federal environmental laws, 

regulations, and executive orders 

applicable to the proposed project 

during the environmental review 

process to the maximum extent 

practicable. These requirements 

include, but are not limited to, the 

environmental and public hearing 

provisions of Federal transit laws (49 

U.S.C. 5301(e), 5323(b), and 5324); the 

project-level air quality conformity 

regulation of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) (40 CFR part 

93); the section 404(b)(1) guidelines of 

EPA (40 CFR part 230); the regulation 

implementing section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act (36 

CFR part 800); the regulation 

implementing section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act (50 CFR part 

402); section 4(f) of the Department of 

Transportation Act (23 CFR 771.135); 

and Executive Orders 12898 on 

environmental justice, 11988 on 

floodplain management, and 11990 on 

wetlands.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 14, 2008, the 2006 

Amateur-Built Aircraft Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee (ARC) 

published its Final Report. This report 

found that FAA directives setting policy 

for amateur-built aircraft ‘‘do not 

adequately address the issue of 

commercial assistance,’’ determined 

that the ‘‘aircraft kit evaluation process 

is not standardized,’’ and cited the need 

for additional training for inspectors to 

‘‘fully understand the FAA’s 

expectations when determining an 

aircraft’s eligibility for an amateur-built 

certificate.’’ Based on the ARC’s report, 

the FAA published a notice in the 

Federal Register on February 15, 2008,1

temporarily suspending amateur-built 

aircraft kit evaluations. The FAA 

decided that its directives governing the 

amateur-built aircraft sector required 

review and revision. 

Subsequently, the FAA published a 

notice in the Federal Register on July 

15, 2008, announcing proposed changes 

to, and seeking public comments on (1) 

FAA Order 8130.2F, Airworthiness 

Certification of Aircraft and Related 

Products, Chapter 4, Special 

Airworthiness Certification, Section 9, 

Experimental Amateur-Built 

Airworthiness Certifications; and (2) AC 

20–27G, Certification and Operation of 

Amateur-Built Aircraft.2 The original 

comment period opened on July 15, 

2008, and closed on August 15, 2008. 

Upon request, the FAA extended the 

comment period to September 30, 

2008,3 and then reopened the comment 

period from October 31, 2008, through 

December 15, 2008.4

On November 4, 2008, the AmateurBuilt ARC was rechartered with Order 

1110.143A, Amateur-Built Aircraft 

Aviation Rulemaking Committee to 

advise the FAA on issues concerning 

disposition of the public comments, the 

enhanced definition of the term 

‘‘fabrication’’ and grandfathering of 

FAA-listed amateur-built aircraft kits. 

The 2008 ARC met in Washington, DC 

on January 27 through 29, 2009, to 

consider the items listed above; the ARC 

also— 

• Reevaluated the 20/20/11 

requirement; 5

• Evaluated an updated FAA Form 

8000–38, Fabrication/Assembly 

Operation Checklist; 

• Discussed the creation of a National 

Kit Evaluation Team, consisting of FAA 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 16, 2009 / Notices 47643 

Aviation Safety Inspectors, to establish 

a standardized aircraft kit evaluation 

process; and 

• Discussed the conversion of typecertificated aircraft into amateur-built 

aircraft. 

The FAA will take the 2008 ARC’s 

recommendations into consideration in 

the formulation of the final revisions to 

FAA Order 8130.2F, and AC 20–27G. 

Dated: September 11, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act of 2000 (the Act) was 

enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law 

106–18 1. 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: 

Claire Kultgen representing general 

aviation; Alan Stephen, Elling 

Halvorson, and Matthew Zuccaro 

representing commercial air tour 

operations; Chip Dennerlein. Greg 

Miller, Kristen Brengel, and Don Barger 

representing environmental interests; 

and Rory Majenty and Richard 

Deertrack representing Native American 

tribes. 

Selection 

Selected to fill the vacancy for 

environmental concerns, for an 

additional term, is returning member 

Chip Dennerlein. Selected to fill the 

vacancy for Native American tribal 

concerns is Ray Russell, who will 

replace Richard Deertrack. Both these 

terms begin on October 10, 2009. The
