**[Docket No. 30731 ; Amdt. No. 3380]**

**Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums**  **and Obstacle Departure Procedures;**
**Miscellaneous Amendments**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final Rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This 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 July 8, 2010. 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 July 8, 2010.

**ADDRESSES :**  Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125) Telephone: (405) 954–4164.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This rule
amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing, amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS. The complete regulators 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 part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when required by an entry on 8260–15A.

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition to their complex nature and the need for a special format make publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the complete description of each SIAP,
Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and specifies the types of SIAPs
and the effective dates of the associated
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. 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, Takeoff Minimums and
ODP as contained 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 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 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 procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs 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.

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.

**ACTION :**  Final rules.

**SUMMARY :**  We are amending our rules to state that our agency is responsible for setting the time and place for a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). This change creates a 3-year pilot program that will allow us to test this new authority. Our use of this authority, consistent with due process rights of claimants, may provide us with greater flexibility in scheduling both in-person and video hearings, lead to improved efficiency in our hearing process, and reduce the number of pending hearing requests. This change is a part of our broader commitment to maintaining a hearing process that results in accurate, high-quality decisions for claimants.

**DATES :**  These final rules are effective August 9, 2010.

Introduction

One of our highest priorities is to improve the efficiency of our hearing process for the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) programs under title II of the Social Security Act (Act) and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program under title XVI of the Act. The increasing workloads at the hearing level of our administrativereview process have been wellpublicized, and we are actively preparing for further increases in the number of hearing requests. Eliminating the hearing backlog is a ‘‘ moral imperative. ’’ 1 We face significant challenges in dealing with the historically large number of pending hearing requests, and we must schedule a greater number of hearings to reduce the hearing backlog. The ALJs who conduct the hearings are dedicated, hard working professionals; they will play a central role in helping us reduce the backlog. However, some ALJs do not schedule or hold a minimally acceptable number of hearings, and our current rules are arguably unclear as to certain scheduling issues.

Therefore, we are revising our rules to
state that ‘‘ we ’’ (the agency) have the authority to set the time and place for a hearing before an ALJ. We are adding this authority as a 3-year pilot program so we may test it and evaluate its effectiveness, as explained below. We will conduct this pilot to test the effect of our use of this authority, consistent with due process rights of claimants, on the timely scheduling of hearings and on reducing the hearing backlog. This change is a part of our broader commitment to maintaining a hearingprocess that results in accurate, highquality decisions for claimants. Through the pilot, we hope to determine whether extending the authority to schedule hearings to other agency personnel,
