SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GSP 

program provides for the duty-free 

importation of designated articles when 

imported from beneficiary developing 

countries. The GSP program is 

authorized by Title V of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.), as 

amended (the ‘‘Trade Act’’), and is 

implemented in accordance with 

Executive Order 11888 of November 24, 

1975, as modified by subsequent 

Executive Orders and Presidential 

Proclamations. 

In the 2008 Annual Product Review, 

the Trade Policy Staff Committee 

reviewed petitions to change product 

coverage of the GSP. The results of the 

2008 GSP Annual Review, comprising 

nine lists, are available for public 

viewing at http://www.regulations.gov 

in docket USTR–2008–0045. The listed 

results of the 2008 GSP Annual Review 

are also available at: http:// 

www.ustr.gov/trade-topics/tradedevelopment/preference-programs/ 

generalized-system-preference-gsp/ 

current-reviews. 

The disposition of the petitions 

considered in the 2008 GSP Annual 

Review is described in: List I (Decisions 

on Petitions to Add Products to the List 

of Eligible Products for the Generalized 

System of Preferences); List II (Decisions 

on Petitions to Remove Duty-Free Status 

from a Beneficiary Developing Country 

for a Product on the List of Eligible 

Articles for the Generalized System of 

Preferences); and List III (Decisions on 

Petitions to Grant a Waiver to the 

Competitive Need Limitations). 

Certain articles for which a waiver of 

the application of Section 503(c)(2)(A) 

of the 1974 Act was issued at least five 

years ago, but which are revoked 

pursuant to Section 503(d)(5) are listed 

in List IV (Decisions on Competitive 

Need Limit Waiver Revocations). 

Certain articles for which it has been 

determined that a like or directly 

competitive product was not produced 

in the United States on January 1, 1995, 

for the purposes of section 503(c)(2)(E), 

are listed in List V (Addition to List of 

Products ‘‘Not Produced in the United 

States’’, Pursuant to Section 

503(c)(2)(E)). 

In the 2008 Product Review, the Trade 

Policy Staff Committee evaluated the 

2008 value of U.S. imports of each GSPeligible article to determine whether an 

article from a GSP beneficiary 

developing country exceeded the GSP 

CNLs. De minimis waivers were granted 

to certain articles that exceeded the 50- 

percent import-share CNL, but for 

which the aggregate value of all U.S. 

imports of that article was below the 

2008 de minimis level of $19 million. 

List VI (Decisions on Products Eligible 

for De Minimis Waivers) provides the 

list of the articles and the associated 

countries granted de minimis waivers. 

No eligible products were redesignated 

to GSP eligibility. List VII (Decisions on 

Products Eligible for GSP 

Redesignation) provides the list of the 

articles and the associated countries 

reviewed for redesignation. 

Articles that exceeded one of the GSP 

CNLs in 2008, and that are newly 

excluded from GSP eligibility when 

imported from a specific beneficiary 

country, are listed in List VIII (Products 

Newly Subject to CNL Exclusion). 

The Trade Policy Staff Committee has 

determined to continue the review of 

GSP eligibility of certain beneficiary 

developing countries. The beneficiaries

and Uzbekistan regarding intellectual 

property rights, and Bangladesh, Niger, 

the Philippines and Uzbekistan 

regarding worker rights. The disposition 

of petitions (see List IX, Petitions for 

Review of Country Practices) considered 

in the 2008 Country Practices Review 

and a decision whether to accept 

petitions submitted concerning Iraq and 

Sri Lanka will be announced in a later 

Federal Register notice.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Membership in the National Parks 

Overflights Advisory Group Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice 

(See 74 FR 16442; April 10, 2009) the 

National Park Service (NPS) and the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

invited interested persons to apply to 

fill six upcoming openings on the 

National Parks Overflights Advisory 

Group (NPOAG) Aviation Rulemaking 

Committee (ARC). The notice invited 

interested persons to apply to fill six 

vacancies representing commercial air 

tour operators (2), general aviation (1), 

Native American tribal (1), and 

environmental (2) concerns due to the 

incumbent members’ completion of 

three-year term appointments on 

October 9, 2009. This notice informs the 

public of the persons selected to fill four 

of the six vacancies on the NPOAG 

ARC. Vacancies filled include the two 

commercial tour operator openings, the 

general aviation opening, and one of the 

environmental openings. Since the 

previous notice did not draw enough 

responses from individuals for the 

Native American tribal opening or the 

remaining environmental vacancy, NPS 

and FAA are also using this notice to 

invite other interested individuals to 

apply for these two remaining openings. 

If you responded to the initial notice, for 

either the Native American tribal or 

environmental openings, you will still 

be under consideration and need not reapply.

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 current 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: 

Heidi Williams representing general 

aviation; Alan Stephen, Elling 

Halvorson, and Matthew Zuccaro 

representing commercial air tour 

operators; Chip Dennerlein, Greg Miller, 

Kristen Brengel, and Don Barger
