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. 

Bay Model Visitor Center, 2100 

Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA.
