14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30071; Amdt. No. 1995]

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) 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, addition of

new obstacles, or changes in 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: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference—approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters

incorporated by reference in the

amendment is as follows:

For Examination—

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA

Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591;

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located; or

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase—Individual SIAP

copies may be obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

200), FAA Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; or

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located.

By Subscription—Copies of all SIAPs,

mailed once every 2 weeks, are for sale

by the Superintendent of Documents,

U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description of each SIAP is

contained in official FAA form

documents which are incorporated by

reference in this amendment under 5

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and § 97.20

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–

4, and 8260–5. Materials incorporated

by reference are available for

examination or purchase as stated

above.

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. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. Some

SIAP amendments may have been

previously issued by the FAA in a

National Flight Data Center (NFDC)

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

amendments may require making them

effective in less than 30 days. For the

remaining SIAPs, an effective date at

least 30 days after publication is

provided.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the U.S. Standard for

Terminal Instrument Procedures

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, 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 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 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

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 14, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 37279

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.
