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. 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 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: 

The current NPOAG consists of 

Melissa Rudinger representing general 

aviation; Alan Stephen, Mark Francis, 

and Matthew Zuccaro representing 

commercial air tour operators; Rob 

Smith, Nicholas Miller, Mark Belles, 

and Dick Hingson representing 

environmental interests; and Leigh 

Kuwanwisiwma and Martin Begaye 

representing Native American interests. 

Mr. Zuccaro’s 3-year membership 

expires on September 9, 2016. 

Selection 

In order to retain balance within the 

NPOAG ARC, the FAA and NPS are 

seeking candidates interested in filling 

Mr. Zuccaro’s soon to be expiring seat. 

The open seat to be filled will represent 

air tour operator interests. The FAA and 

NPS invite persons interested in 

representing air tour operator interests 

on the ARC to contact Mr. Keith Lusk 

(contact information is written above in 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Requests to serve on the ARC must be 

made to Mr. Lusk in writing and 

postmarked or emailed on or before 

August 26, 2016. The request should 

indicate whether or not you are a 

member of an association or firm related 

to the air tour industry.. The request 

should also state what expertise you 

would bring to the NPOAG ARC as 

related to issues and concerns with 

aircraft flights over national parks. The 

term of service for NPOAG ARC 

members is 3 years. Current members 

may re-apply for another term. 

On June 18, 2010, President Obama 

signed a Presidential Memorandum 

directing agencies in the Executive 

Branch not to appoint or re-appoint 

federally registered lobbyists to advisory 

committees and other boards and 

commissions. Therefore, before 

appointing an applicant to serve on the 

NPOAG, the FAA and NPS will require 

the prospective candidate to certify that 

they are not a federally registered 

lobbyist.
