Docket No. 28577
Abstract
This action establishes a temporary Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) at Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) to preserve the natural enjoyment of visitors to RMNP by preventing any potential adverse noise impact from aircraft-based sightseeing overflights. This action temporarily bans commercial air tour operations over RMNP while the FAA develops a broader rule that will apply to RMNP as well as other units of the National Park system. The final rule will expire as soon as a general rule on such overflights is adopted.
