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, and subsequently amended in 

the FAA Modernization and Reform Act 

of 2012. 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: 

Melissa Rudinger representing general 

aviation; Alan Stephen, Matt Zuccaro, 

and Mark Francis representing 

commercial air tour operators; Michael 

Sutton, Nicholas Miller, Mark Belles, 

and Dick Hingson representing 

environmental interests; and Leigh 

Kuwanwisiwma representing Native 

American tribes with one seat open. 

Selection 

The person selected to fill the open 

seat representing Native American 

interests is Martin Begaye. Mr. Begaye’s 

3-year term will begin on the day of the 

Federal Register notice publication. 

Issued in Hawthorne, CA, on November 4,

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2015–0114] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with part 211 of Title 

49 of Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

this document provides the public 

notice that by a document dated 

September 29, 2015, the Graham-White 

Company (Graham-White) has 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR 231.27. FRA 

assigned the petition Docket Number 

FRA–2015–0114. 

Graham-White manufactures electric 

locomotive parking brakes. The Graham 

White design provides transmission of 

torque from the hand wheel into the 

input shaft of the brake through a key 

that engages the hand wheel hub and 

the input shaft. Title 49 CFR 

231.27(a)(2) requires the hand brake 

wheel be affixed to the input shaft using 

a square taper fit not less than seveneighths of an inch square. A GrahamWhite technical analysis report 

demonstrates that the company’s design 

provides the same degree of safety or a 

greater degree of safety than that 

specified in 49 CFR 231.27. GrahamWhite is requesting relief from the hand 

brake shaft square taper fit regulation, as 

stipulated in 49 CFR 231 Plate A, to 

allow the key and shaft design currently 

in service on Graham-White electric 

parking hand brakes. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov and in person at 

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590. The Docket 

Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. 

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal Holidays.
