14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30473; Amdt. No. 3148] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, Weather Takeoff 

Minimums; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, 

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums 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: This rule is effective January 9, 

2006. The compliance date for each 

SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums 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 January 9, 

2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to Title 14 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR 

part 97), establishes, amends, suspends, 

or revokes SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums. The complete 

regulatory description of each SIAP 

and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums 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 14 

CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA 

Forms are identified as FAA Forms 

8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5 and 8260–15A. 

Materials incorporated by reference are 

available for examination or purchase as 

stated above. 

The large number of SIAPs and/or 

Weather Takeoff Minimums, 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 and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums but refer to their 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 and/ 

or Weather Takeoff Minimums 

contained in FAA form documents is 

unnecessary. The provisions of this 

amendment state the affected CFR 

sections, with the types and effective 

dates of the SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums. This amendment 

also identifies the airport, its location, 

the procedure identification and the 

amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums as contained in the 

transmittal. Some SIAP and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums amendments may 

have been previously issued 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/or 

Weather Takeoff Minimums 

amendments may require making them 

effective in less than 30 days. For the 

remaining SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums, an effective date at 

least 30 days after publication is 

provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums 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/or Weather Takeoff Minimums, 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/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums and safety in air commerce, 

I find that notice and public procedure 

before adopting these SIAPs and/or 

Weather Takeoff Minimums are 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest and, where applicable, that 

good cause exists for making some 

SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums 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.

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 

Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fisheries 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason 

retention limit adjustment. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has determined that 

the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) General 

category daily retention limit for five 

previously designated restricted fishing 

days (RFD) should be adjusted. These 

General category RFDs are being waived 

to provide reasonable opportunity for 

utilization of the coastwide General 

category BFT quota. Therefore, NMFS 

waives five RFDs scheduled for January 

2006, and increases the daily retention 

limit from zero to two large medium or 

giant BFT on these previously 

designated RFDs. 

DATES: Effective dates for BFT daily 

retention limits are provided in Table 1 

under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brad 

McHale, 978–281–9260. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations implemented under the 

authority of the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.) 

and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801 

et seq.) governing the harvest of BFT by 

persons and vessels subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction are found at 50 CFR part 

635. The 2005 BFT fishing year began 

on June 1, 2005, and ends May 31, 2006. 

The final initial 2005 BFT specifications 

and General category effort controls 

(June 7, 2005; 70 FR 33033) established 

the following RFD schedule for the 2005 

fishing year: All Fridays, Saturdays, and 

Sundays from November 18, 2005, 

through January 31, 2006, and 

Thursday, November 24, 2005, 

inclusive, provided quota remained 

available and the fishery was open. 

RFDs are intended to extend the General 

category BFT fishery late into the 

southern Atlantic season. NMFS has 

determined that the BFT General 

category daily retention limit for five of 

the previously designated RFDs should 

be adjusted as described in Table 1 to 

provide reasonable opportunity to 

utilize the coastwide General category 

BFT quota.

All Two BFT per vessel per day/trip, measuring 73 inches (185 cm) CFL or larger 

Adjustment of General Category Daily 

Retention Limits 

Under 50 CFR 635.23(a)(4), NMFS 

may increase or decrease the General 

category daily retention limit of large 

medium and giant BFT over a range 

from zero (on RFDs) to a maximum of 

three per vessel to allow for maximum 

utilization of the quota for BFT. NMFS 

has taken multiple actions during the 

2005 fishing year in an attempt to allow 

for maximum utilization of the General 

category BFT quota. On September 28, 

2005 (70 FR 56595), NMFS adjusted the 

commercial daily BFT retention limit 

(on non-RFDs), in all areas, for those 

vessels fishing under the General 

category quota, to two large medium or 

giant BFT, measuring 73 inches (185 

cm) or greater curved fork length (CFL), 

per vessel per day/trip, effective through 

January 31, 2006, inclusive, provided 

quota remained available and the 

fishery remained open. On November 9, 

2005 (70 FR 67929), NMFS waived the 

previously designated RFDs for the 

month of November and adjusted the 

daily retention limit on those RFDs to 

two large medium or giant BFT. On 

December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74712), 

NMFS waived previously designated 

RFDs for December 16–18, inclusive, 

and adjusted the daily retention limit on 

those RFDs to two large medium or 

giant BFT to provide reasonable 

opportunity to harvest the coastwide 

quota. On January 4, 2006 (71 FR 273), 

NMFS waived previously designated 

RFDs for December 31, 2005, and 

January 1, 2006, inclusive, and adjusted 

the daily retention limit on those RFDs 

to two large medium or giant BFT to 

provide reasonable opportunity to 

harvest the coastwide quota. 

On December 7, 2005 (70 FR 72724), 

NMFS adjusted the General category 

quota by conducting a 200 mt inseason 

quota transfer to the Reserve category, 

resulting in an adjusted General 

category quota of 708.3 mt. This action 

was taken to account for any potential 

overharvests that may occur in the 

Angling category during the 2005 

fishing year (June 1, 2005 through May 

31, 2006) and to ensure that U.S. BFT
