DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[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:

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.

Setting the Time and Place for a 

Hearing Before an Administrative Law 

Judge 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Version 

The electronic file of this document is

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 administrative 

review 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 hearing 

process 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,
