14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31116; Amdt. No. 3731] 

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 removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures (ODPs) 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 February 

10, 2017. 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 February 

10, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
10272 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 27 / Friday, February 10, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by 

establishing, amending, suspending, or 

removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 

and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on FAA 

form documents which are incorporated 

by reference in this amendment under 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 

CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA 

forms are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 

8260–5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when 

required by an entry on 8260–15A. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, their complex 

nature, and the need for a special format 

make publication in the Federal 

Register expensive and impractical. 

Further, airmen do not use the 

regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums or ODPs, but instead 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, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of 

SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs 

with their applicable effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure, 

and the amendment number. 

Availability and Summary of Material 

Incorporated by Reference 

The material incorporated by 

reference is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

The material incorporated by 

reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff 

Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in 

the amendatory language for part 97 of 

this final rule. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as Amended in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously by the FAA in a 

Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to 

Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency 

action of immediate flight safety relating 

directly to published aeronautical 

charts. 

The circumstances that created the 

need for some SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP amendments may 

require making them effective in less 

than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs 

and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an 

effective date at least 30 days after 

publication is provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the 

TERPS criteria were applied to the 

conditions existing or anticipated at the 

affected airports. Because of the close 

and immediate relationship between 

these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find 

that notice and public procedure under 

5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, under 5 U.S.C 553(d), 

good cause exists for making some 

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days. 

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.

Changes in Requirements for 

Affidavits or Declarations of Use, 

Continued Use, or Excusable Nonuse 

in Trademark Cases 

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective 

date. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

memorandum of January 20, 2017, from 

the Assistant to the President and Chief 

of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze 

Pending Review,’’ this action delays for 

60 days the effective date of the final 

rule entitled ‘‘Changes in Requirements 

for Affidavits or Declarations of Use, 

Continued Use, or Excusable Nonuse in 

Trademark Cases,’’ published in the 

Federal Register on January 19, 2017. 

The 60-day delay in effective date is 

necessary to give agency officials the 

opportunity for further review of the 

issues of law and policy raised by this 

rule. 

DATES: The effective date of FR Doc. 

2017–00317, published in the Federal 

Register on January 19, 2017 (82 FR 

6259), is delayed until March 21, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Catherine Cain, Office of the Deputy 

Commissioner for Trademark 

Examination Policy, by email at 

TMFRNotices@uspto.gov, or by 

telephone at (571) 272–8946. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 19, 2017, the United States 

Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO or 

Office) published in the Federal 

Register a final rule entitled ‘‘Changes 

in Requirements for Affidavits or 

Declarations of Use, Continued Use, or 

Excusable Nonuse in Trademark Cases.’’ 

In that action, the USPTO amended its 

rules concerning the examination of 

affidavits or declarations of continued 

use or excusable nonuse filed pursuant 

to section 8 of the Trademark Act, or 

affidavits or declarations of use in 

commerce or excusable nonuse filed 

pursuant to section 71 of the Act, to 

allow the USPTO to require additional 

proof of use to verify the accuracy of 

claims that a trademark is in use in 

commerce in connection with particular 

goods/services identified in the 

registration. 

In accordance with the memorandum 

of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant 

to the President and Chief of Staff, 

entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending 

Review,’’ this action delays the effective 

date of that final rule 60 days from the 

date of the January 20, 2017 memo. The 

effective date of the January 19, 2017 

final rule, which would have been 

February 17, 2017, is now March 21, 

2017. The 60-day delay in the effective 

date is necessary to give agency officials 

the opportunity for further review of the 

issues of law and policy raised by the 

rule. 

Rulemaking Requirements 

Administrative Procedure Act: The 

Director of the USPTO finds good cause 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3) to 

waive the notice and comment 

procedure and the 30-day delay in the 

effective date because it is impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest. A 

delay in effective date is necessary to 

give agency officials the opportunity for 

further review of the issues of law and 

policies raised by the rule before the 

final rule becomes effective on February 

17, 2017. If this rule was delayed to 

provide for the procedural requirements 

under 5 U.S.C. 553, the final rule 

published on January 19, 2017 would be 

allowed to go into effect, thus negating 

the objectives of the memorandum of 

January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to 

the President and Chief of Staff. 

Therefore, we find there is good cause 

to waive notice and comment 

procedures and the 30-day delay in 

effective date for this rule. 

Dated: February 6, 2017.

Property and Director of the United States

the factors to consider in determining 

whether an award from an LSC recipient 

to another organization is a subgrant, 

establishes a dollar threshold at which 

recipients must seek LSC’s approval to 

award a subgrant, authorizes recipients 

to use property or services funded in 

whole or in part with LSC funds to 

support a subgrant, and establishes new 

processes for seeking prior approval of 

subgrants. 

DATES: This final rule will be effective 

on April 1, 2017.
