14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30797; Amdt. No. 3438] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final Rule. 

SUMMARY: This 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 August 22, 

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 August 22, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

Telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

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

establishing, amending, suspending, or 

revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 

and/or ODPS. The complete regulators 

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 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, in addition to 

their complex nature and the need for 

a special format make publication in the 

Federal Register expensive and 

impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not 

use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, 

Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead 

refer to their depiction on charts printed 

by publishers of aeronautical materials. 

The advantages of incorporation by 

reference are realized and publication of 

the complete description of each SIAP, 

Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on 

FAA forms is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAPs 

and the effective dates of the associated 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. 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, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as contained in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

52240 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 162 / Monday, August 22, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

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 which 

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 procedures before 

adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs are impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, that good cause exists 

for making some 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.

Amendment No. 121–356] 

RIN 2120–AJ43 

Activation of Ice Protection 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action revises the 

operating rules for flight in icing 

conditions. For certain airplanes 

certificated for flight in icing, the new 

standards require either installation of 

ice detection equipment or changes to 

the airplane flight manual to ensure 

timely activation of the airframe ice 

protection system. This action is the 

result of information gathered from 

icing accidents and incidents. It is 

intended to increase the level of safety 

when airplanes fly in icing conditions. 

DATES: This amendment becomes 

effective October 21, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules on 

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 III, Section 

44701. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing minimum 

standards required in the interest of 

safety for the design and performance of 

aircraft; regulations and minimum 

standards of safety for inspecting, 

servicing, and overhauling aircraft; and 

regulations for other practices, methods, 

and procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it prescribes new 

safety standards for the operation of 

certain airplanes used in air carrier 

service. 

I. Summary of the Final Action 

The FAA is creating new regulations 

in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 121 (Operating 

Requirements: Domestic, Flag, and 

Supplemental Operations) related to the 

operation of certain transport category 

airplanes in icing conditions. To 

improve the safety of these airplanes 

operating in icing conditions, the new 

regulations require either installation of 

ice detection equipment and procedures 

for its use, or changes to the airplane 

flight manual (AFM) to ensure timely 

activation of the airframe ice protection 

system. 

The economic evaluation for the final 

rule shows that the benefits exceed the 

costs for the nominal, seven, and three 

percent present value rates. The 

estimated benefits are $27.2 million 

($16.2 million present value). The total 

estimated costs are $12.7 million ($6.7 

million present value). The following 

table shows these results. 

II. Background 

On October 31, 1994, an accident 

involving an Avions de Transport 

Regional ATR 72 series airplane 

occurred in icing conditions. This 

prompted the FAA to initiate a review 

of aircraft safety in icing conditions and 

determine what changes could be made 

to increase the level of safety. In May 

1996, we sponsored the International 

Conference on Aircraft Inflight Icing, 

where icing specialists made 

recommendations for increasing safety. 

We reviewed these recommendations 

and developed a comprehensive, multiyear icing plan. The FAA Inflight 

Aircraft Icing Plan, dated April 1997,1

described various activities we were 

considering for improving aircraft safety 

in icing conditions. In accordance with 

this plan, we tasked the Aviation 

Rulemaking Advisory Committee 

(ARAC) to consider the need for ice 

detectors or other means to give 

flightcrews early indication about action 

required for ice accumulating on critical 

surfaces of the airplane.2 The work was 

carried out by ARAC’s Ice Protection 

Harmonization Working Group 

(IPHWG). Its recommendations may be 

found in the docket for this rulemaking 

(FAA–2009–0675). 

A. Summary of the NPRM 

On November 23, 2009, the FAA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) based on ARAC’s 

recommendations to the FAA (74 FR
