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: Melissa Rudinger, 

Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association; 

Alan Stephen, fixed-winged air tour 

operator representative; Elling 

Halvorson, Papillon Airways, Inc.; 

Matthew Zuccaro, Helicopters 

Association International; Chip 

Dennerlein, Siskiyou Project; Gregory 

Miller, American Hiking Society; 

Kristen Brengel, The Wilderness 

Society; Don Barger, National Parks 

Conservation Association; Rory 

Majenty, Hualapai Nation; and Richard 

Deertrack, Taos Pueblo. 

Public Participation in the NPOAG 

ARC 

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 14, 2008. The request should

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
