        <RULE_TITLE>Noise Limitations for Aircraft Operations in the Vicinity of Grand Canyon National Park</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking will establish noise limitations for certain aircraft operated in the vicinity of Grand Canyon National Park. This action is one part of an overall strategy to reduce further the impact of aircraft noise on the park environment and to assist the National Park Service (NPS) in achieving its statutory mandate imposed by Public Law 100-91 to provide for the substantial restoration of natural quiet and experience in Grand Canyon National Park. The supplemental amendment removes two sections from the December 31, 1996, notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed to establish a corridor through the National Canyon area as an incentive route for quiet technology aircraft. The FAA and NPS have determined not to proceed with an air tour route in the vicinity of National Canyon and are presently considering alternatives to this route. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial public interest.]]></ABSTRACT>
