DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Termination of the Preparation of an 

Air Tour Management Plan and 

Environmental Assessment for 

Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Termination of the 

Preparation of Air Tour Management 

Plan and Environmental Assessment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), in cooperation 

with the National Park Service (NPS), 

announces that it will no longer prepare 

an Air Tour Management Plan (ATMP) 

and Environmental Assessment (EA) for 

commercial air tour operations over 

Petrified Forest National Park in 

Arizona. The FAA and NPS have 

stopped work on preparation of the 

ATMP and EA based upon a provision 

included in the FAA Modernization and 

Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–141) 

that exempted parks with 50 or fewer 

annual commercial air tour operations 

from the provisions of the National 

Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 

(NPATMA) (Pub. L. 106–181).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a July 1, 

2010 Federal Register notice (75 FR 

38169), the FAA in cooperation with the 

National Park Service (NPS) provided 

notice of their intent to develop an EA 

for the ATMP at Petrified Forest 

National Park, pursuant to the National 

Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 

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

regulations contained in 14 CFR Part 

136, Subpart B, National Parks Air Tour 

Management. The ATMP process for 

Petrified Forest National Park was 

initiated based on receipt of 

applications for operating authority 

from two existing commercial air tour 

operators to conduct commercial air 

tour operations over this park unit. In 

accordance with NPATMA and based 

on the existing level of operations at the 

time of the application, the FAA issued 

interim operating authority (IOA) to the 

two existing commercial air tour 

operators to conduct an annual total of 

46 commercial air tours over the park 

until such time as an ATMP was 

developed. The FAA and NPS began 

preparing an EA to comply with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(Pub. L. 91–190), which requires Federal 

agencies to consider the environmental 

impacts associated with a major federal 

action. 

The FAA Modernization and Reform 

Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–95) amended 

various provisions of NPATMA. One 

provision exempted national park units 

with 50 or fewer annual commercial air 

tour operations from the requirements of 

NPATMA. The provision also allows the 

Director to withdraw the exemption if 

the Director determines that an air tour 

management plan or voluntary 

agreement is necessary to protect park 

resources and values or park visitor use 

and enjoyment. The provision requires 

FAA and NPS to jointly publish a list 

each year of national parks covered by 

the exemption. In addition, commercial 

air tour operators conducting 

commercial air tour operations over a 

national park that is exempt from the 

requirements of NPATMA, shall submit 

to the FAA and NPS a report each year 

that includes the number of commercial 

air tour operations the operator 

conducted during the preceding 1-year 

period over the park. 

Since there are fewer than 50 annual 

commercial air tour operations being 

conducted over Petrified Forest National 

Park and NPS is not withdrawing the 

exemption, the park is exempt from 

NPATMA. Therefore, the FAA, in 

cooperation with the NPS, has stopped 

work and discontinued the preparation 

of the ATMP and EA for Petrified Forest 

National Park. 

The list of units of the National Park 

System exempt from the provisions of 

NPATMA, which includes Petrified 

Forest National Park, was published in 

the Federal Register on December 19, 

2012 (77 FR 75254).
