14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31519; Amdt. No. 4089] 

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 removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPS) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

procedures (ODPs) 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 5, 

2023. 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 

5, 2023

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends 14 CFR part 97 by establishing, 

amending, suspending, or removes 

SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or 

ODPS. The complete regulatory 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on 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. The applicable FAA Forms 

8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260–15A, 

8260–15B, when required by an entry 

on 8260–15A, and 8260–15C. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, their complex 

nature, and the need for a special format 

make publication in the Federal 

Register expensive and impractical. 

Further, pilots do not use the regulatory 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 5, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 84235 

text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or 

ODPs, but instead refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers or aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP listed on FAA form documents is 

unnecessary. This amendment provides 

the affected CFR sections and specifies 

the types of SIAPS, 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/or 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, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as amended in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously by the FAA in a 

Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to Air 

Missions (NOTAM) as an emergency 

action of immediate flights safety 

relating directly to published 

aeronautical charts. 

The circumstances that created the 

need for some SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP amendments may 

require making them effective in less 

than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs 

and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an 

effective date at least 30 days after 

publication is provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs 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 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, 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, 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 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.

32 CFR Part 286 

[Docket ID: DOD–2019–OS–0069] 

RIN 0790–AK54 

DoD Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) Program; Amendment 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant to the 

Secretary of Defense for Privacy, Civil 

Liberties, and Transparency 

(OATSD(PCLT)), Department of Defense 

(DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The DoD is finalizing 

amendments to its Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) regulation to 

update organizational names, add 

additional FOIA Requester Service 

Centers, and adopt the standards in the 

Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Template 

for Agency FOIA Regulations noting the 

decision to participate in FOIA 

alternative dispute resolution (ADR) 

services is voluntary on the part of the 

requester and DoD. 

DATES: This rule is effective on January 

4, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni 

Fuentes at 571–372–0462. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

According to the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552, 

an agency may, in its published 

administrative rules and regulations, 

designate those components that can 

receive FOIA requests. Additionally, the 

FOIA requires agencies to establish 

FOIA Public Liaisons, which are 

responsible for assisting in reducing 

delays, increasing transparency and 

understanding of the status of requests, 

and assisting in the resolution of 

disputes. 

II. Regulatory History 

On February 6, 2018 (83 FR 5196– 

5197), the DoD finalized revisions to its 

FOIA regulation to incorporate the 

provisions of the Openness Promotes 

Effectiveness in our National 

Government Act of 2007 and the FOIA 

Improvement Act of 2016. On July 2, 

2020, the DoD published a proposed 

rule titled DoD Freedom of Information 

Act (FOIA) Program; Amendment (85 

FR 39856–39858) to update certain 

administrative aspects of the 

Department’s implementation of the 

FOIA, including adding an additional 

FOIA Requester Service Center. DoD 

also proposed to clarify, by adopting the 

standards set forth in the Department of 

Justice’s (DOJ) Template for Agency 

FOIA Regulations, that the decision to 

participate in FOIA alternative dispute 

resolution services is voluntary on the 

part of the requestor and DoD. One 

public comment was received, which 

was off-topic and not pertinent to this 

rule. However, in the final coordination 

of this rule, the Department has elected 

to make other administrative changes 

which are discussed below. 

III. Discussion of Additional 

Amendments Added by the Final Rule 

DoD has determined that public 

comment is unnecessary before 

finalizing these amendments as they are 

administrative and are internal to DoD 

and the management of DoD’s FOIA 

Program. Therefore, DoD did not request 

public comments on this final rule, even 

though DoD is making several 

additional amendments with this final 

rule. 

In this final rule, and per Deputy 

Secretary of Defense Memorandum 

dated September 1, 2021, 

Disestablishment of the Chief 

Management Officer, Realignment of 

Functions and Responsibilities, and 

Related Issues 1), DoD is changing the 

Directorate for Oversight and 

Compliance to the Office of the 

Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for 

Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency (OATSD (PCLT)). Also, 

the Defense Security Service is being 

changed to Defense Counterintelligence 

and Security Agency, and DoD is 

updating its web link for DoD 

Component FOIA Public Liaison contact 

information.2

Under the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552, 

agencies are afforded a certain amount 

of discretion in administratively 

implementing the Act. For example, 

agencies can designate which of their 

Components are authorized to receive 

FOIA requests. DoD is adding United 

States Cyber Command 

(USCYBERCOM), United States 

Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), 

and United States Space Command 

(USSPACECOM) as authorized FOIA 

Requester Service Centers. 

USSOUTHCOM was inadvertently 

omitted in the proposed rule. Since 

these service centers have already been 

implemented, DoD is seeking to align 

the rule with the action. DoD also seeks 

to update the list of those Components 

serviced by the Office of the Secretary 

of Defense (OSD) and Joint Staff FOIA 

Requester Service Center. DoD is also 

adding the United States Space Force as 

an authorized DoD FOIA Requester 

Service Center. 

DoD is updating paragraph (b) of 

§ 286.3 to remove the list of DoD 

subcomponents whose FOIA requests 

are processed by the OSD/Joint Staff 

requester service center. DoD is 

removing this list of subcomponents 

because it does not provide a list of 

subcomponents of DoD Components 

whose FOIA requests are processed by 

other requester service centers within 

the Department. 

This rule also clarifies language 

concerning DoD’s participation in FOIA 

‘‘Dispute Resolution,’’ found in § 286.4 

by adopting DOJ’s Template for Agency 

FOIA Regulations to clarify the 

Department possesses the discretion to 

determine whether to participate in 

FOIA alternative dispute resolution 

when ADR is requested by a FOIA 

requester. 

This rule also amends paragraph (f)(3) 

in § 286.9 to require a statement 

detailing the application of any 

foreseeable harm in applying FOIA
