SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act of 2000, enacted on 

April 5, 2000, as Public Law 106–181 

(Pub. L. 106–181), required the 

establishment of a National Parks 

Overflights Advisory Group (NPOAG) 

within one year after its enactment. The 

NPOAG was to be a balanced group 

representative of general aviation, 

commercial air tour operations, 

environmental concerns, and Indian 

tribes. The duties of the NPOAG include 

providing advice, information, and 

recommendations to the NPS Director 

and the FAA Administrator, on 

implementation of Public Law 106–181, 

quiet aircraft technology, other 

measures that might accommodate 

interests to visitors to national parks, 

and, at the request of the Director and 

Administrator, on safety, 

environmental, and other issues related 

to commercial air tour operations over 

national parks or tribal lands. 

On March 12, 2001, the FAA and NPS 

announced the establishment of the 

NPOAG (48 FR 14429). On October 10, 

2003, the Administrator signed Order 

No. 1110–138 establishing the NPOAG 

as an aviation rulemaking committee 

(ARC) and on January 20, 2006, the 

Administrator updated Order No. 

1110.138 and signed Order No. 

1110.138A (71 FR 16610). The advisory 

group has held nine meetings. The 

current members of the NPOAG ARC are 

Heidi Williams (general aviation), 

Matthew Zuccaro, Elling Halvorson, and 

Alan Stephen (commercial air tour 

operations), Don Barger, Chip 

Dennerlein, Dr. Gregory A. Miller and 

Mark Peterson (environmental 

interests), and Rory Majenty and 

Richard Deertrack (Native American 

tribes). 

Agenda for the November 28–30, 2006 

Meeting 

The agenda for the meeting will 

include, but is not limited to, the 

following review and approval of 

previous meeting minutes; discussion of
