On the recordJune 12, 2003
this is a very short, simple amendment. What it deals with is Teton National Park. I think it is probably the only park in the country that has in it a commercial airport. Some years ago, the airport and the park agreed they could limit noise in the park. They had done so with commercial airlines, but they have not been able to do so with private jets. This would give them that authority. It has been approved by the Park Service, by the Interior Department, and we would like very much to have the authority for them to be able to deal with the noncommercial jets and the noise they create in Teton National Park.
