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 

representing environmental interests; 

and Rory Majenty and Richard 

Deertrack representing Native American 

tribes.

Additional Openings 

In order to retain balance within the 

NPOAG ARC with two remaining 

openings, the FAA and NPS invite 

persons interested in representing 

environmental and Native American 

tribal concerns on the ARC to contact

indicate whether or not you are a 

member of an association or group

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 

environmental or tribal concerns. The 

term of service for NPOAG ARC 

members is 3 years.

the Coastwise Trade Laws 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration,

ACTION: Invitation for public comments 

on a requested administrative waiver of

U.S.C. 12121 and MARAD’s regulations 

at 46 CFR part 388 (68 FR 23084; April 

30, 2003), that the issuance of the 

waiver will have an unduly adverse 

effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a
