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 

advisory group was established in 

March 2001, and 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. 

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.’’ 

Members of the advisory group may 

be allowed certain travel expenses as 

authorized by section 5703 of Title 5, 

United States Code, for intermittent 

Government service. 

By FAA Order No. 1110–138, signed 

by the FAA Administrator on October 

10, 2003, the NPOAG became an 

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC). 

FAA Order No. 1110–138, was amended 

and became effective as FAA Order No. 

1110–138A, on January 20, 2006. 

The current NPOAG ARC is made up 

of one member representing general 

aviation, three members representing 

the air tour industry, four members 

representing environmental concerns, 

and two members representing Native 

American interests. Current members of 

the NPOAG ARC are: Heidi Williams, 

Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association; 

Alan Stephen, fixed-winged air tour 

operator representative; Elling 

Halvorson, Papillon Airways, Inc.; 

Matthew Zuccaro, Helicopter 

Association International; Chip 

Dennerlein, Siskiyou Project; Gregory 

Miller, American Hiking Society; Dick 

Hingson, Sierra Club; Bryan Faehner, 

National Parks Conservation 

Association; Rory Majenty, Hualapai 

Nation; and Ray Russell, Navajo Parks 

and Recreation. Rory Majenty of the 

Hualapai Nation is the current NPOAG 

member with the expiring term on April 

2, 2012. 

In order to retain balance within the 

NPOAG ARC, the FAA and NPS invite 

persons interested in serving on the 

ARC to represent Native American 

tribes, to contact Mr. Barry Brayer 

(contact information is written above in 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). 

Requests to serve on the ARC must be 

made to Mr. Brayer in writing and 

postmarked or e-mailed on or before 

November 30, 2011. The request should 

indicate whether or not you are a 

member of an association or group 

related to Native American tribal issues 

or concerns or have another affiliation 

with issues relating to aircraft flights 

over national parks. The request should 

also state what expertise you would 

bring to the NPOAG ARC as related to 

tribal concerns. The term of service for 

NPOAG ARC members is 3 years.

2011.
