Death Valley National Park, CA

The Death Valley (DEVA) ATMP will be prepared using an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) process. The purpose of using the ARC process is to provide early advice, information, and recommendations from interested stakeholders to the FAA and NPS, regarding environmental and other issues to consider in the development of an ATMP. The DEVA ARC is composed of various representatives including air tour operators, federal, local and regional agencies, environmental organizations, local businesses, and the Timbisha Shoshone tribe. It is chaired by the Superintendent of DEVA.

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) Meeting was held on June 16 -17, 2009

    • Scoping Information for ATMP at Death Valley

    The original Notice of Intent (NOI) published in the Federal Register on January 19, 2010 (see below), contained an incorrect address for the FAA website where information can be found on the Death Valley National Park Air Tour Management Program. Therefore the FAA and NPS published a Supplemental NOI in the Federal Register on February 4, 2010 (also below) with the correct web site address and extended the scoping period to March 8, 2010.
