Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30206; Amdt. No. 2014]

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) 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, addition of

new obstacles, or changes in 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: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters

incorporated by reference in the

amendment is as follows:

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA

Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591;

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase—Individual SIAP

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description of each SIAP is

contained in official FAA form

documents which are incorporated by

reference in this amendment under 5

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and § 97.20

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–

4, and 8260–5. Materials incorporated

by reference are available for

examination or purchase as stated

above.

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. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. Some

SIAP amendments may have been

previously issued by the FAA in a

National Flight Data Center (NFDC)

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an

emergency action of immediate flight

safety relating directly to published

aeronautical charts. The circumstances

which created the need for some SIAP

amendments may require making them

effective in less than 30 days. For the

remaining SIAPs, an effective date at

least 30 days after publication is

provided.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in U.S. Standard for Terminal

Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In

developing these SIAPs, 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 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 some SIAPs effective in less

than 30 days.

Conclusions

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.

[Docket No. NHTSA 99–5063; Notice 2]

RIN 2127—AH 83

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards; Interior Trunk Release

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document establishes

new Federal motor vehicle safety

standard (FMVSS) No. 401; Internal

trunk release, that requires all new

passenger cars with trunks be equipped

with a release latch inside the trunk

compartment beginning September 1,

2001. Instead of a release latch, this

document also permits the installation

of an alternative system such as a

passive trunk release system which

would detect the presence of a human

in the trunk and would automatically

unlatch the trunk lid. During the

summer of 1998, eleven children died

when they inadvertently trapped

themselves in the trunk of a car. This

new standard will provide children and

others who find themselves trapped

inside a passenger car trunk a chance to

get out of the trunk alive.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date

of the final rule is September 1, 2001.

Early compliance date. You have the

option of early compliance with this

final rule beginning October 20, 2000.

Petition for reconsideration deadline.

If you wish to petition for

reconsideration of this final rule, you

must submit it so that we receive your

petition not later than December 4,

2000.

ADDRESSES: In your petition for

reconsideration, you should refer to the

docket number and notice number at the

beginning of this final rule, and submit

the petition for reconsideration to:

Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh

Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590.
