Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30775; Amdt. No. 3419] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective April 4, 

2011. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of April 4, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 


sroberts on DSK69SOYB1PROD with RULES
18382 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 64 / Monday, April 4, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

The large number of SIAPs, their 

complex nature, and the need for a 

special format make their verbatim 

publication in the Federal Register 

expensive and impractical. Further, 

airmen do not use the regulatory text of 

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP contained in FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure 

and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P– 

NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts. The 

circumstances which created the need 

for all these SIAP amendments requires 

making them effective in less than 

30 days. 

Because of the close and immediate 

relationship between these SIAPs and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

these SIAPs are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, that good cause exists 

for making these SIAPs effective in less 

than 30 days. 

Conclusion 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore—(1) is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation as the anticipated impact is 

so minimal. For the same reason, the 

FAA certifies that this amendment will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Extension of Sunset Date for Attorney 

Advisor Program 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are extending for 2 years 

our rule authorizing attorney advisors to 

conduct certain prehearing procedures 

and to issue fully favorable decisions. 

The current rule will expire on August 

10, 2011. In this final rule, we are 

extending the sunset date to August 9, 

2013. We are making no other 

substantive changes. 

DATES: This final rule is effective May 4, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Version 

The electronic file of this document is 

available on the date of publication in 

the Federal Register at http:// 

www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html. 

Background of the Attorney Advisor 

Program 

On August 9, 2007, we issued an 

interim final rule permitting some 

attorney advisors to conduct certain 

prehearing procedures. 72 FR 44763. We 

instituted this practice to enable us to 

provide more timely service to the 

increasing number of applicants for 

Social Security disability benefits and 

Supplemental Security Income 

payments based on disability. We 

considered the public comments we 

received on the interim final rule and, 

on March 3, 2008, issued the rule 

without change as a final rule. 73 FR 

11349. Under this rule, attorney 

advisors may develop claims and, in 

appropriate cases, issue fully favorable 

decisions. 

We included in §§ 404.942(g) and 

416.1442(g) of the interim final rule a 

provision that the program would end 

on August 10, 2009, unless we decided 

either to terminate the rule earlier or to 

extend it beyond that date by 

publication of a final rule in the Federal 

Register. On July 13, 2009, we 

published a final rule that extended the 

sunset date of the program until August 

10, 2011. 74 FR 33327. 

Explanation of Extension 

When we published the final rules 

reinstating the attorney advisor program 

in 2008, we discussed a variety of 

concerns about the program and stated 

that we intended to closely monitor it 

and make changes if it did not meet our 

expectations. 73 FR 11349, 11350, 

11351, and 11352. We have been 

monitoring the program, and it has met 

our expectations. 

The number of requests for hearings 

has continued to increase significantly 

in recent years, and we expect that these 

increases will continue. The attorney 

advisor program has proven to be an 

invaluable tool in our efforts to issue 

favorable decisions timely, decide cases 

efficiently, and reduce the number of 

claims pending at the hearing level, 

while maintaining accuracy in the 

decision-making process. Accordingly, 

we have decided to extend the attorney 

advisor rule for another 2 years, until 

August 9, 2013. As before, we are 

reserving the authority to end the 

program earlier or to extend it by 

publishing a final rule in the Federal 

Register. We also are adding additional 

technical references to §§ 404.942(f)(1) 

and 416.1442(f)(1) to make clear certain 

authorities attorney advisors have when 

they adjudicate claims under the 

attorney advisor program. 

Regulatory Procedures 

Justification for Issuing Final Rule 

Without Notice and Comment 

We follow the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking 

procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 

when developing regulations. Section 

702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 902(a)(5). The APA provides 

exceptions to its notice and public 

comment procedures when an agency 

finds there is good cause for dispensing 

with such procedures because they are 

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest. We have 

determined that good cause exists for 

dispensing with the notice and public 

comment procedures for this rule. 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Good cause exists 

because this final rule only extends the 

sunset date of an existing rule and adds 

cross-references. It makes no substantive 

changes to the rule. The current 

regulations expressly provide that we 

may extend or terminate this rule. 

Therefore, we have determined that 

opportunity for prior comment is 

unnecessary, and we are issuing this 

rule as a final rule. 

Executive Order 12866 as 

Supplemented by Executive Order 

13563 

We consulted with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

determined that this final rule does 

meet the criteria for a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866 as supplemented by Executive 

Order 13563. Thus, OMB reviewed the 

final rule.
