Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 116 / Thursday, June 16, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 35097 

on a government-to-government basis on 

policies that have Tribal implications, 

including regulations, legislative 

comments or proposed legislation, and 

other policy statements or actions that 

have substantial direct effects on one or 

more Indian Tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian Tribes. 

In late 2010 and early 2011, USDA 

engaged in a series of consultative 

sessions to obtain input by Tribal 

officials or their designees concerning 

the impact of this rule on the Tribe or 

Indian Tribal governments, or whether 

this rule may preempt Tribal law. 

Reports from these consultations will be 

made part of the USDA annual reporting 

on Tribal Consultation and 

Collaboration. USDA will respond in a 

timely and meaningful manner to all 

Tribal government requests for 

consultation concerning this rule and 

will provide additional venues, such as 

webinars and teleconferences, to 

periodically host collaborative 

conversations with Tribal officials or 

their designees concerning ways to 

improve this rule in Indian country. 

The policies contained in this rule 

would not have Tribal implications that 

preempt Tribal law. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not constitute a 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35).

Docket No. 11–AAL–1] 

Amendment of Federal Airways; 

Alaska 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective 

date. 

SUMMARY: This action changes the 

effective date for the amendment of all 

Anchorage, AK, Federal Airways that 

are affected by the relocation of the 

Anchorage VHF Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) navigation aid. The FAA is taking 

this action due to a failed flight 

inspection. 

DATES: The effective date of the rule 

published on April 28, 2011 (76 FR 

23687), is delayed until further notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Federal Register Document FAA– 

2011–0010, Airspace Docket No. 11– 

AAL–1, published in the Federal 

Register on April 28, 2011 (76 FR 

23687), proposed the amendment of all 

Anchorage Federal Airways affected by 

the relocation of the Anchorage VOR 

navigation aid. Although satisfactory 

flight inspection reports were filed in 

April 2011, these reports were in error. 

These Federal airways are being 

impacted by flight inspection delays 

due to the relocation of the navigation 

aid, thereby delaying the effective date 

of June 30, 2011, until further notice. 

This will allow better coordination for 

the charting of the airspace. 

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. Therefore, this regulation (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. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle 

VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to assign 

the use of the airspace necessary to 

ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it modifies federal airways in Alaska.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30786; Amdt. No. 3429] 

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 June 16, 

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 June 16, 

2011.

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 

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,
