Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 29024; Amdt. No. 1825]

RIN 2120–AA65

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

(SIAP’s) 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 SIAP’s, 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 SIAP’s. 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 14 CFR 97.20 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR).
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 191 / Thursday, October 2, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 51601

The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Form 8260–5.

Materials incorporated by reference are

available for examination or purchase as

stated above.

The large number of SIAP’s, 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 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.

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. The

SIAP’s contained in this amendment are

based on the criteria contained in the

United States Standard for Terminal

Instrument Approach Procedures

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, the

TERPS criteria were applied to the

conditions existing or anticipated at the

affected airports.

The FAA has determined through

testing that current non-localizer type,

non-precision instrument approaches

developed using the TERPS criteria can

be flown by aircraft equipped with

Global Positioning System (GPS)

equipment. In consideration of the

above, the applicable SIAP’s will be

altered to include ‘‘or GPS’’ in the title

without otherwise reviewing or

modifying the procedure. (Once a stand

alone GPS procedure is developed, the

procedure title will be altered to remove

‘‘or GPS’’ from these non-localizer, nonprecision instrument approach

procedure titles.)

The FAA has determined through

extensive analysis that current SIAP’s

intended for use by Area Navigation

(RNAV) equipped aircraft can be flown

by aircraft utilizing various other types

of navigational equipment. In

consideration of the above, those SIAP’s

currently designated as ‘‘RNAV’’ will be

redesignated as ‘‘VOR/DME RNAV’’

without otherwise reviewing or

modifying the SIAP’s.

Because of the close and immediate

relationship between these SIAP’s 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.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Parole Commission

28 CFR Part 2

Paroling, Recommitting, and

Supervising Federal Prisoners;

Disclosure of Parole Commission

Regional Office File

AGENCY: Parole Commission, Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: U.S. Parole Commission is

amending its regulations on disclosure

of Parole Commission files to provide

for expedited processing of requests and

a multi-track system to comply with the

‘‘Electronic Freedom of Information Act

Amendments of 1996.’’

DATES: Effective October 1, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Pamela A. Posch, Office of General

Counsel, U.S. Parole Commission, 5550

Friendship Blvd., Chevy Chase,

Maryland 20815, telephone (301) 492–

5959.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July

28, 1997, the Parole Commission

published proposed rule changes in the

Federal Register to implement a new

law known as the ‘‘Electronic Freedom

of Information Act Amendments of

1996’’ (E–FOIA). 62 FR 40316. These

proposed rule changes provided for a

multi-track system whereby requests for

tape recordings, or for two documents or

less, would be processed ahead of

requests seeking numerous documents

from the parole file. Further, the

proposed rule provided for expedited

processing of Freedom of Information

Act (FOIA) requests if the requester

demonstrates ‘‘compelling need’’ as

defined in the regulation. Specifically,

the Commission proposed adopting two

categories in which compelling need

could be demonstrated.
