SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act of 2000 (NPATMA), 

enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law 

106–181, required the establishment of 

the NPOAG within one year after its 

enactment. The Act requires that the 

NPOAG be 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 duties of the NPOAG include 

providing advice, information, and 

recommendations to the FAA 

Administrator and the NPS Director on: 

Implementation of Public Law 106–181; 

quiet aircraft technology; other 

measures that might accommodate 

interests of visitors to national parks; 

and at the request of the Administrator 

and the Director, on safety, 

environmental, and other issues related 

to commercial air tour operations over 

national parks or tribal lands. 

Agenda for the September 3–4, 2008 

NPOAG Meeting 

The agenda for the meeting will 

include, but is not limited to, the 

following: Development of a Strategic 

Plan, review and approval of the 

meeting minutes from the September 

25–26, 2007 NPOAG meeting in Fort 

Collins, CO; update on ongoing Air Tour 

Management Program projects; and

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 1114 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59; 

119 Stat. 1144) continued the highway 

bridge program to enable States to 

improve the condition of their highway 

bridges over waterways, other 

topographical barriers, other highways, 

and railroads. Section 1114(f) amends 

23 U.S.C. 144 by adding subsection (r), 

requiring the Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary) to publish in 

the Federal Register a report describing 

construction materials used in new 

Federal-aid bridge construction and 

bridge rehabilitation projects. 

DATES: The report will be posted on the 

FHWA Web site no later than August 

10, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: The report will be posted on 

the FHWA Web site at: http:// 

www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/britab.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

conformance with 23 U.S.C. 144(r), the 

FHWA has produced a report that 

summarizes the types of construction 

materials used in new bridge 

construction and bridge rehabilitation 

projects. Data on Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highway bridges are 

included in the report for completeness. 

The December 2007 National Bridge 

Inventory (NBI) dataset was used to 

identify the material types for bridges 

that were new or replaced within the 

defined time period. The FHWA’s 

Financial Management Information 

System (FMIS) and the 2007 NBI were 

used to identify the material types for 

bridges that were rehabilitated within 

the defined time period. Currently 

preventative maintenance projects are 

included in the rehabilitation totals.
