Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30872; Amdt. No. 3507] 

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 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 December 3, 

2012. 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 December 

3, 2012.

incorporated by reference in the 

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 (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

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. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

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 as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P– 

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, 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 which created the need 

for all these SIAP amendments requires 

making them effective in less than 30 

days. 

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 these 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.

Bunkering, Reporting, and Purse Seine 

Discard Requirements 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues regulations 

under the authority of the Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries Convention 

Implementation Act (WCPFC 

Implementation Act) to implement 

requirements for U.S. fishing vessels 

used for commercial fishing that offload 

or receive transshipments of highly 

migratory species (HMS), U.S. fishing 

vessels used for commercial fishing that 

provide bunkering or other support 

services to fishing vessels, and U.S. 

fishing vessels used for commercial 

fishing that receive bunkering or engage 

in other support services, in the area of 

application of the Convention on the 

Conservation and Management of 

Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the 

Western and Central Pacific Ocean 

(Convention). Some of the requirements 

also apply to transshipments of fish 

caught in the area of application of the 

Convention (Convention Area) and 

transshipped elsewhere. NMFS also 

issues requirements regarding 

notification of entry into and exit from 

the ‘‘Eastern High Seas Special 

Management Area’’ (Eastern SMA) and 

requirements relating to discards from 

purse seine fishing vessels. This action 

is necessary for the United States to 

implement decisions of the Commission 

for the Conservation and Management of 

Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the 

Western and Central Pacific Ocean 

(Commission or WCPFC) and to satisfy 

its obligations under the Convention, to 

which it is a Contracting Party. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 2, 

2013. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of supporting 

documents that were prepared for this 

final rule, including the regulatory 

impact review (RIR) and the 

Environmental Assessment (EA), as well 

as the proposed rule, are available via 

the Federal e-Rulemaking portal, at 

http://www.regulations.gov. Those 

documents, and the small entity

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 15, 2012, NMFS 

published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 8759) to revise 

regulations at 50 CFR part 300, subpart 

O, in order to implement certain 

decisions of the WCPFC. The proposed 

rule was open to public comment 

through April 16, 2012. 

This final rule is issued under the 

authority of the WCPFC Implementation 

Act (16 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), which 

authorizes the Secretary of Commerce, 

in consultation with the Secretary of 

State and the Secretary of the 

Department in which the United States 

Coast Guard is operating (currently the 

Department of Homeland Security), to 

promulgate such regulations as may be 

necessary to carry out the obligations of 

the United States under the Convention, 

including the decisions of the WCPFC. 

The authority to promulgate regulations 

has been delegated to NMFS. 

This final rule implements provisions 

in Conservation and Management 

Measures (CMMs) adopted by the 

WCFPC, particularly CMMs 2009–06, 

2009–01, 2010–02, and 2009–02. The 

preamble to the proposed rule includes 

further background information, 

including information on the 

Convention and the WCPFC, as well as 

detailed information about each of the 

CMMs being implemented in this rule, 

and the basis for the proposed 

regulations. 

New Requirements 

This final rule establishes the 

following requirements: 

1. Transshipment Reporting 

Requirements 

The owner and operator (operator 

means, with respect to any vessel, the 

master or other individual aboard and in 

charge of that vessel) of any U.S. fishing 

vessel used for commercial fishing that 

transships HMS in the Convention Area, 

whether from an offloading vessel or to 

a receiving vessel, or that transships 

HMS caught in the Convention Area, 

whether from an offloading vessel or to 

a receiving vessel, is required to ensure 

the completion of and submission to 

NMFS of a transshipment report for 

each transshipment. The form required 

to be used for these reports is available 

from the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional 

Administrator. A separate report is 

required for each transshipment. 

The information specified on the 

report form must be recorded on the 

form within 24 hours of completion of 

the transshipment. The requirements for 

transshipments on the high seas and for 

emergency transshipments (i.e., a 

transshipment conducted under 

circumstances of force majeure or other 

serious mechanical breakdown that 

could reasonably be expected to 

threaten the health or safety of the 

vessel or crew or cause a significant 

financial loss through fish spoilage) that 

would otherwise be prohibited are 

slightly different than the requirements 

for all other transshipments. For 

transshipment on the high seas and for 

emergency transshipments that would 

otherwise be prohibited, the report must 

be submitted by email or fax to the 

address specified by the NMFS Pacific 

Islands Regional Administrator no later 

than 10 calendar days after completion 

of the transshipment. The report can be 

submitted without signatures to 

accommodate vessels that remain at sea 

for more than 10 days after completion 

of the transshipment and that do not 

have fax or email capabilities. In such 

circumstances, for example, the 

information required on the form could 

be communicated via radio to a shore 

agent, and the shore agent could email 

or fax the form to NMFS within the 10- 

day deadline, which would enable 

NMFS to submit the report to the 

Commission within the 15-day due date 

under CMM 2009–06.
