AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)

the Federal Register of the incorporation 

by reference of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting

airspace areas; air traffic service routes; 

and reporting points incorporated by 

reference. 

DATES: These regulations are effective 

September 15, 2014, through September 

15, 2015. The incorporation by reference

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

FAA Order 7400.9X, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

effective September 15, 2013, listed 

Class A, B, C, D and E airspace areas; 

air traffic service routes; and reporting 

points. Due to the length of these 

descriptions, the FAA requested 

approval from the Office of the Federal 

Register to incorporate the material by 

reference in the Federal Aviation 

Regulations section 71.1, effective 

September 15, 2013, through September 

15, 2014. During the incorporation by 

reference period, the FAA processed all 

proposed changes of the airspace 

listings in FAA Order 7400.9X in full 

text as proposed rule documents in the 

Federal Register. Likewise, all 

amendments of these listings were 

published in full text as final rules in 

the Federal Register. This rule reflects 

the periodic integration of these final 

rule amendments into a revised edition 

of Order 7400.9Y, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points. The Director of 

the Federal Register has approved the 

incorporation by reference of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y in section 71.1, as of 

September 15, 2014, through September 

15, 2015. This rule also explains the 

procedures the FAA will use to amend 

the airspace designations incorporated 

by reference in part 71. Sections 71.5, 

71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 

71.71, and 71.901 are also updated to 

reflect the incorporation by reference of 

FAA Order 7400.9Y. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

reflect the approval by the Director of 

the Federal Register of the incorporation 

by reference of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

effective September 15, 2014, through 

September 15, 2015. During the 

incorporation by reference period, the 

FAA will continue to process all 

proposed changes of the airspace 

listings in FAA Order 7400.9Y in full 

text as proposed rule documents in the 

Federal Register. Likewise, all 

amendments of these listings will be 

published in full text as final rules in 

the Federal Register. The FAA will 

periodically integrate all final rule 

amendments into a revised edition of 

the Order, and submit the revised 

edition to the Director of the Federal 

Register for approval for incorporation 

by reference in section 71.1. 

The FAA has determined that this 

action: (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. 

This action neither places any new 

restrictions or requirements on the 

public, nor changes the dimensions or 

operation requirements of the airspace 

listings incorporated by reference in 

part 71.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30973; Amdt. No. 3604] 

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 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 September 

2, 2014. 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 September 

2, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

Headquarters Building, 800

telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

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.
