Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on October 3, 2023 (88 FR 68271). The FAA Modernization
and Reform Act of 2012 included amendments to the National Parks Air
Tour Management Act (NPATMA) of 2000, which applies to commercial air
tour operators who conduct tours over or within a half mile of a
national park unit. One of these amendments requires commercial air
tour operators conducting tours over national park units to provide the
FAA and National Park Service with certain information on these
operations. The information collected includes the date and time of day
of the tour operation, the make and model of aircraft the tour was
taken in, the name of tour route flown, and as required, flight
monitoring data. The information allows the agencies to track air tour
activity over national park units and provides background information
that the agencies can utilize when developing an air tour management
plan or voluntary agreement for a national park unit. Respondents are
the commercial air tour operators currently authorized to conduct tours
over national parks. Operators complete the information on a reporting
template and providenbvvbnvwd6 either email it or mail it in to the
agencies.
Respondents: 39 commercial air tour operators nationwide.
Frequency: Information is collected semi-annually (twice a year),
or annually for park units with 50 or fewer tours per year.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 25.6 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,998 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 21, 2024.

Environmental Protection Specialist, FAA Office of Environment and
