SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA and NPS established the 

GCWG within the NPOAG to provide 

advice and recommendations regarding 

the implementation of the National 

Parks Overflights Act of 1987 with 

respect to the Grand Canyon. The 

GCWG is comprised of 20 members to 

assure a representative and balanced 

group of agency, tribal, environmental, 

recreation, and aviation interests. The 

Working Group is co-chaired by a 

representative of the NPS and a 

representative of the FAA, and is 

facilitated by Lucy Moore Associates, a 

third-party neutral contracted through 

the U.S. Institute for Environmental 

Conflict Resolution. The Working Group 

has specific responsibilities for Grand 

Canyon overflight matters, including but 

not limited to: Review of the overflights 

noise analysis; and recommendations 

for a final overflights plan that provides 

for the substantial restoration of natural 

quiet and experience of the Grand 

Canyon National Park, including routes 

or corridors for commercial air tour 

operations that employ quiet aircraft 

technology. 

The National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act of 2000, enacted on 

April 5, 2000, as Public Law 106–181, 

required the establishment of the 

NPOAG within one year after its 

enactment. The Act requires that the 

NPOAG be 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 as chairman of the 

advisory group. 

The duties of the NPOAG include 

providing advice, information, and 

recommendations to the FAA 

Administrator and the NPS Director 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 Administrator 

and the Director, on safety, 

environmental, and other issues related 

to commercial air tour operations over 

national parks or tribal lands.
