DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31532; Amdt. No. 4101] 

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 March 4, 

2024. 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 March 4, 

2024.

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 

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.

U.S. Treasury Securities—State and 

Local Government Series 

AGENCY: Bureau of the Fiscal Service, 

Fiscal Service, Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury (Treasury) is issuing this final 

rule to amend the regulations governing 

State and Local Government Series 

(SLGS) securities. SLGS securities are 

non-marketable Treasury securities that 

are available for purchase only by 

issuers of tax-advantaged securities. The 

final rule amends the SLGS regulations 

to prevent impermissible uses of the 

SLGS program, most notably the use of 

program flexibilities by tax-advantaged 

entities, usually a state or local 

government, investing in SLGS 

securities to create impermissible costfree options. The final rule amends the 

existing regulations to prevent such 

activity. In addition, the final rule 

makes administrative changes to 

increase efficiencies in the program. 

DATES: This final rule is effective August 

26, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mike Goodwin, Division Director, Jared 

Waters, Program Manager, Brian Metz, 

Senior Counsel, or Elizabeth Spears, 

Senior Counsel, via email at SLGS@

fiscal.treasury.gov, by telephone at (304)

the Fiscal Service, P.O. Box 396, 

Parkersburg, WV 26106–1328. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview of Rulemaking 

On September 30, 2022, Treasury 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) with request for 

comments (87 FR 59353, September 30, 

2022), proposing amendments to the 

regulations governing U.S. Treasury 

securities of the State and Local 

Government Series (SLGS). The 

proposed amendments addressed 

certain practices of investors in SLGS 

securities that Treasury considers to be 

an inappropriate use of the SLGS 

securities program. The comment period 

ended on November 29, 2022, and 

Treasury received two comment letters. 

After careful consideration of the 

comments, Treasury is now issuing a 

final rule. 

The NPRM proposed amendments to 

the SLGS regulations to address 

impermissible uses of the SLGS 

program, most notably the misuse of 

program flexibilities by tax-advantaged 

entities, usually a state or local 

government, investing in SLGS 

securities to create impermissible costfree options. The NPRM proposed 

amendments designed to stop such 

activity. Additionally, the NPRM 

proposed administrative changes to 

increase efficiencies in the program. 

In the final rule, Treasury is adopting 

all but one of the proposed 

amendments. In response to the public 

comments, Treasury is providing 

additional detail and clarification 

herein. 

The following discussion provides 

background on previous related 

rulemakings, explains the NPRM’s 

proposed amendments, addresses the 

public comments on those proposed 

amendments, and describes the final 

rule. 

II. Background 

SLGS securities are a type of nonmarketable Treasury security that is 

available for purchase by state and local 

governments and other issuers (as 

defined in 31 CFR 344.1) of taxadvantaged bonds (Issuers). SLGS
