66536 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 215 / Tuesday, November 6, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

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 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.

telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

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. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

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 as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P– 

NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts. The 

circumstances which created the need 

for all these SIAP amendments requires 

making them effective in less than 30 

days. 

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 these 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 rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

Federal Mediation and Conciliation 

Service (FMCS) rules relating to the

final rule revisions include a new 

response time for FOIA requests, 

procedures for requesting expedited 

processing, the availability of certain 

public information on FMCS’s web site, 

and express inclusion of electronic 

records and automated searches along 

with paper records and manual 

searches. In addition, FMCS’s final rule 

updates its fee schedule. FMCS is also 

updating the names and addresses of the 

various offices within the agency 

responsible for FOIA related activities. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

December 6, 2012.

Jeannette Walters-Marquez, AttorneyAdvisor, Office of the General Counsel, 

Federal Mediation and Conciliation 

Service, 2100 K Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20427. Telephone: 

(202) 606–5488. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMCS 

amends its regulations at 29 CFR Part 

1401, Subpart B under FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 

552. The primary focus of these 

amendments is to effectuate for this 

Agency various provisions under the 

1996 Electronic FOIA Amendments, 

Public Law No. 104–231. Significant 

new provisions implementing the 

amendments are found at § 1401.21(c) 

(electronic reading room), (d) 

(pamphlets distribution), (e) (records 

disposition), § 1401.22 (deletion 

marking), § 1401.34(a), (b), (c), (d) 

(timing of responses), § 1401.34 (d) 

(volume estimation), § 1401.36(a) 

(definitions), (b) (fee schedules, lack of 

fees, fee waivers). 

Revisions to the FMCS fee schedule 

can be found at § 1401.36(b)(1)(i), (ii), 

(iv), and (b)(3)(v). The duplication 

charge remains the same at twenty cents 

per page, while document search and 

review charges will increase to $4.00 

per each quarter hour or portion thereof 

for clerical time and $10.00 per each 

quarter hour or portion thereof for 

professional time. The amount at or 

below which the Service will not charge 

a fee will decrease from $50.00 to 

$14.00. 

Sections 1401.24 and 1401.37 are 

being removed because they are neither 

required by law nor necessary to 

interpret the law. 

Background 

On August 3, 2007, FMCS published 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) proposing changes to its rule 

relating to FOIA procedures and 

updating its fee schedule. FMCS did not 

receive any comments relating to the 

NPRM. 

FMCS is adopting the final rule with 

two significant changes from that which 

was proposed. The final rule withdraws 

its proposed revision to § 1401.35 which 

would have transferred some of the 

FOIA responsibilities from the FMCS 

Deputy Director to the Chief of Staff. It 

was determined that the current 

structure in which the FMCS Deputy 

Director is the FOIA Appeals Officer is 

appropriate for the Agency. The final 

rule also revises the language in 

§ 1401.36(b)(4) of the proposed rule to 

reflect that waiver appeals should be 

filed with the FMCS Deputy Director 

instead of the Chief of Staff, as proposed 

by the NPRM.

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Freedom of information. 

For the reasons stated in the 

preamble, FMCS amends 29 CFR Part 

1401 as follows: 

PART 1401—PUBLIC INFORMATION 

■ 1. The authority citation for Part 1401 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: § 202, 61 Stat. 136, as amended; 

5 U.S.C. 552. 

■ 2. Revise § 1401.20 to read as follows: 

§ 1401.20 Purpose and scope. 

This subpart contains the regulations 

of the Federal Mediation and 

Conciliation Service providing for 

public access to information under the 

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552. It is the policy of the FMCS to 

disseminate information on matters of 

interest to the public and to disclose 

upon request information contained in 

Agency records insofar as such 

disclosure is compatible with the 

discharge of its responsibilities and the 

principle of confidentiality and 

neutrality of dispute resolution by third 

party neutrals. 

■ 3. Amend § 1401.21 by revising 

paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) to read as 

follows: 

§ 1401.21 Information policy. 

* * * * * 

(c) FMCS maintains a public reading 

room that contains the records required 

by the FOIA to be made readily 

available for public inspection and 

copying. FMCS shall maintain and make 

available for public inspection and 

copying a current subject-matter index 

of its reading room records. Each index 

shall be updated regularly, at least 

quarterly, with respect to newly 

included records. FMCS shall also make 

reading room records created on or after 

November 1, 1996, available 

electronically through FMCS’s World 

Wide Web Site (which can be found at 

http://www.fmcs.gov)
