National Parks Air Tour Management Act: More Flexibility and Better Enforcement Needed
Primarily because of concerns that noise from air tours over
national parks could impair visitors' experiences and park
resources, Congress passed the National Parks Air Tour Management
Act of 2000 to regulate air tours. The act requires the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Park Service to
develop air tour management plans for all parks where air tour
operators apply to conduct tours. A plan may establish controls
over tours, such as routes, altitudes, time of day restrictions,
and/or a maximum number of flights for a given period; or ban all
air tours. GAO was asked to (1) determine the status of FAA and
the Park Service's implementation of the act; (2) assess how the
air tour operators and national parks have been affected by
implementation; and (3) identify what issues, if any, need to be
addressed to improve implementation.
