review your case if it finds that the 

ALJ’s action, findings, or conclusion is 

contrary to the weight of the evidence 

currently of record. Id. 

If the new and material evidence that 

relates to the period on or before the 

date of the hearing decision shows a 

critical or disabling condition, the 

Appeals Council will expedite its 

review of your pending claim. 

When the additional evidence does 

not relate to the period on or before the 

date of your hearing decision, the 

Appeals Council will return the 

additional evidence to you. 20 CFR 

404.976(b), 416.1476(b). The notice 

returning the additional evidence will 

explain why the Appeals Council did 

not accept the evidence and inform you 

that, under certain circumstances, we 

will consider the date you filed the 

request for Appeals Council review as 

the filing date for your new claim. If you 

originally filed for disability benefits 

under title II, and you file a new 

application for title II disability benefits 

within six months of the date of this 

notice, we will use the date of your 

request for Appeals Council review as 

the filing date. If both applications are 

for Supplemental Security Income 

payments based on disability under title 

XVI, and you file the new application 

within 60 days from the date of the 

notice, we will use the date you 

requested Appeals Council review as 

the filing date for the new claim. We 

will permit the filing of a new disability 

claim after the Appeals Council 

completes its action on the request for 

review of the pending claim. 

If the additional evidence that does 

not relate to the period on or before your 

hearing decision shows a new critical or 

disabling condition, and you tell us that 

you want to file a new claim based on 

this evidence, the Appeals Council may 

permit you to file a new disability claim 

before it completes its action on your 

request for review of the pending claim. 

If You Choose To Decline Further 

Review of Your Pending Disability 

Claim and Instead File a New Claim 

Under the Same Title and of the Same 

Type 

If, on the other hand, you decide to 

decline to pursue further administrative 

review on the pending disability claim 

and file a new application, we will 

assess your eligibility for any other 

benefits and take applications for these 

benefits. When you received an 

unfavorable or partially favorable 

decision from us on your pending claim, 

we explained the effect that not 

pursuing an appeal might have on your 

possible entitlement to benefits. 

If Your Subsequent Claim Does Not 

Involve the Same Title or Type of 

Benefit 

This Ruling does not change the 

procedure we currently follow when 

you file a subsequent claim under a 

different title or for a different benefit 

type than a pending claim. When a 

subsequent claim under a different title 

or for a different benefit type shares a 

common issue with the pending claim, 

we will usually consolidate it with the 

pending claim through the hearing 

level. When you file a subsequent claim 

that is under a different title or is for a 

different benefit type and your prior 

claim is pending review at the Appeals 

Council, we will process the subsequent 

claim in accordance with our current 

procedures.

[Public Notice 7537] 

International Joint Commission Public 

Hearings on Binational Management of 

Lake of the Woods and Rainy River 

Watershed 

The International Joint Commission 

(IJC) will hold public hearings on the 

final report of its International Lake of 

the Woods and Rainy River Watershed 

Task Force (Task Force). 

The Task Force report to the IJC 

makes recommendations on how the 

United States and Canada could work 

together to better manage water quality, 

water quantity, and related issues in the 

international Lake of the Woods and 

Rainy River watershed. 

Task Force recommendations address 

five themes to improve bi-national 

governance for priority issues in the 

watershed. These include a summit 

convened by the IJC to encourage the 

development of a watershed vision, 

common goals and objectives; 

combining two existing IJC Boards into 

a single International Watershed Board 

with a water quality mandate 

encompassing all boundary waters in 

the watershed (including Lake of the 

Woods); increased support for the 

existing International Multi-Agency 

Arrangement’s work on water quality 

science efforts in the watershed; 

increased local participation in 

watershed management governance; and 

a review of water-level regulation on 

Lake of the Woods. 

In June 2010, the Governments of 

Canada and the United States asked the 

IJC to examine and make 

recommendations regarding the binational management of the Lake of the 

Woods and Rainy River system and the 

IJC’s potential role in this management. 

The IJC established the Task Force to 

review the ways that Canada and the 

United States work together to manage 

water quality, water quantity and 

related issues in the watershed, to 

identify gaps in the current approach, to 

identify key existing or emerging issues 

that require attention, and to 

recommend any new or adjusted 

governance mechanisms that would 

help address the identified issues. 

The submission of the report marks 

the completion of the Task Force’s 

work. The IJC is now inviting public 

comment on the report. Comments will 

be received at public meetings held 

August 15–20 at the following dates and 

times:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment, Notice of 

Public Meetings, and Notice To 

Request Public Scoping Comments for 

the Air Tour Management Plan 

Program at Golden Gate National 

Recreation Area, San Francisco 

Maritime National Historical Park and 

Point Reyes National Seashore 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment, Notice of 

Public Meetings, and Notice to Request 

Public Scoping Comments. 

The FAA, with the National Park 

Service (NPS) as a cooperating agency, 

has initiated development of Air Tour 

Management Plans (ATMPs) for Golden 

Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) 

and Point Reyes National Seashore (the 

Seashore). The ATMP for GGNRA will 

include Muir Woods National 

Monument and Fort Point National 

Historic Site, both directly managed by 

GGNRA, and the San Francisco 

Maritime National Historical Park (SF 

Maritime NHP), an independently 

managed national park unit adjacent to 

GGNRA. 

The ATMPs are being developed 

pursuant to the National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act (NPATMA) of 2000 

(Pub. L. 106–181) and its implementing 

regulations (14 Code of Federal 

Regulation [CFR] Part 136, Subpart B, 

National Parks Air Tour Management). 

Per section 40128(b)(1)(B) of NPATMA, 

the objective of an ATMP shall be to 

develop acceptable and effective 

measures to mitigate or prevent 

significant adverse impacts, if any, of 

commercial air tour operations upon the 

natural and cultural resources, visitor 

experiences and tribal lands within or 

abutting GGNRA and the Seashore. It 

should be noted that an ATMP has no 

authorization over other non-air-tour 

operations such as military and general 

aviation. In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA) and FAA Order 1050.1E, 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) is 

being prepared. 

The FAA has granted Interim 

Operating Authority (IOA) to two 

commercial air tour operators to 

conduct air tours over GGNRA, SF 

Maritime NHP, and the Seashore. The 

FAA and NPS are now inviting the 

public, agencies, tribes, and other 

interested parties to provide comments, 

suggestions, and input on the scope of 

issues and range of alternatives to be 

addressed in the environmental process. 

The FAA and NPS are also hosting 

public scoping meetings to inform the 

public and other interested parties about 

the ATMP program and to provide the 

opportunity for comments. 

DATES: By this notice, the FAA is 

requesting comments on the scope of 

the EA for the individual ATMPs at 

GGNRA and SF Maritime NHP, and the 

Seashore. Comments must be submitted 

by September 28, 2011. 

Meetings: The meetings will be held at 

the following location, dates, and times: 

August 16, 2011: 4:30–6:30 p.m. 

GGNRA Headquarters, Fort Mason 

Building 201, San Francisco, CA. 

August 17, 2011: 4:30–6:30 p.m.

Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA.
