14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31079 Amdt. No. 3698] 

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 amends, suspends, 

or removes 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 for the 

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 June 17, 

2016. 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 June 17, 

2016.

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference under 5 

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

CFR 97.20. 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 on FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. 

This amendment provides the affected 

CFR sections, and specifies the SIAPs 

and 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 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 and Takeoff Minimums 

and ODP as amended in the transmittal. 

For safety and timeliness of change 

considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP as modified by 

FDC permanent NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums 

and ODPs, as modified by FDC 

permanent NOTAM, and contained in 

this amendment are based on the 

criteria contained in the U.S. Standard 

for Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts. 

The circumstances that created the 

need for these SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP amendments 

require making them effective in less 

than 30 days. 

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 these 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.

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 for the 

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 June 17, 

2016. 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 June 17, 

2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference under 5 

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

CFR 97.20. 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 on FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. 

This amendment provides the affected 

CFR sections, and specifies the SIAPs 

and 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 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 and Takeoff Minimums 

and ODP as amended in the transmittal. 

For safety and timeliness of change 

considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP as modified by 

FDC permanent NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums 

and ODPs, as modified by FDC 

permanent NOTAM, and contained in 

this amendment are based on the 

criteria contained in the U.S. Standard 

for Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts.

need for these SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP amendments
