operation under Title 14 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

21.25(b)(7), for aircraft type-certificated 

under 14 CFR 21.25(a)(1), for operations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

6, 2009, a notice of proposed policy was 

published in the Federal Register (74 

FR 39242) in which the FAA proposed 

to specify Alaskan fuel hauling as a 

restricted category special purpose 

operation under 14 CFR 21.25(b)(7). The 

comment period closed September 8, 

2009. This notice of policy addresses 

only one of the three special purpose 

operations proposed in 2009. The other 

two proposals are still under 

consideration and are not addressed at 

this time in this notice. 

The FAA received comments from six 

commenters, in three major areas. One 

of the comments submitted was, ‘‘The 

transport of the fuel could be made safer 

by limiting the payload on each flight to 

say 35% of the aircraft weight so there 

won’t be problems with takeoff and 

landing’’. Another commenter proposed 

that Alaska fuel hauling be limited to 

aircraft having a maximum certificated 

takeoff weight (‘‘MTOW’’) of 20,000 lb 

or less. The FAA does not agree with 

setting an arbitrary maximum weight 

limit for this special purpose, nor does 

the FAA see a need to operate below the 

certificated capabilities of the aircraft. 

To provide for safe operations, each 

aircraft used to transport fuel will be 

required to receive FAA certification for 

the purpose of fuel hauling. During 

certification the airplane payload and 

performance limits will be specified as 

part of the certification process. All 

aircraft must be operated within their 

certificated weight and balance 

limitations, and airfield performance 

limitations. No overweight operations 

will be permitted. 

One commenter suggested that the 

special purpose of fuel hauling be 

expanded to include operations outside 

the State of Alaska, while another 

commenter requested that the proposal 

be strictly limited to operations 

conducted solely within the state. The 

FAA will limit this proposed special 

purpose to operations in the State of 

Alaska only. Alaska has a unique 

dependence on aviation for delivery of 

essential supplies to remote villages that 

are not serviced by roads or rail. Most 

of these villages are served by airports 

with runways less than 3,000 feet long. 

The remoteness and limited 

transportation infrastructure means that 

air transportation of fuel is the only 

method to deliver fuel to these areas 

during many times of the year. 

One commenter requested that the 

FAA confirm that restricted category 

aircraft certificated for the special 

purpose of Alaskan fuel hauling would 

be permitted to conduct these 

operations in view of the provisions of 

§ 91.313, which provides the operating 

limitations for aircraft certificated in 

restricted category. Section 91.313(a) 

states that no person may operate a 

restricted category civil aircraft for any 

purpose other than the special purpose 

for which it is certificated. Section 

91.313(c) states that a restricted category 

aircraft cannot be used to carry persons 

or property for compensation or hire. 

However, this paragraph goes on to say 

that for the purposes of § 91.313(c) the 

definition of ‘‘for compensation or hire’’ 

changes if the special purpose requires 

the carriage of material necessary for 

that special purpose. Then carriage of 

that material is not considered carriage 

‘‘for compensation or hire’’, but only in 

regards to the limitations in § 91.313(c). 

For example, an airplane with a 

restricted category airworthiness 

certificate for the special purpose of 

Alaska fuel hauling may carry fuel for 

commercial gain. However, the 

operation must comply with 14 CFR 

part 119, which addresses commercial 

operations. Since Alaskan fuel hauling 

does not meet any of the exclusions in 

14 CFR part 119, the operation would 

need to meet the requirements of 14 

CFR part 135 or part 121. Operational 

approval for Alaskan fuel hauling must 

be obtained from FAA Flight Standards 

Service in accordance with the 

operating regulations. 

The special purpose of Alaskan fuel 

hauling was considered for aircraft typecertificated under § 21.25(a)(1). This 

limitation will result in a higher level of 

safety than surplus military aircraft 

type-certificated under § 21.25(a)(2). 

Compliance with 14 CFR part 36 noise 

requirements is required for this special 

purpose. The fuel hauling system must 

be shown to meet the applicable 

airworthiness regulations as required by 

§§ 21.25(a)(1), and 21.101 if appropriate. 

Upon approval of the fuel hauling 

configuration of an aircraft for Alaskan 

fuel hauling, the operator must obtain 

an airworthiness certificate for the new 

special purpose. 

Accordingly, the Aircraft Engineering 

Division hereby specifies, under 

authority delegated by the 

Administrator, that Alaskan fuel hauling 

is a restricted category special purpose 

flight operation under the provisions of 

§ 21.25(b)(7). This approval is limited to 

aircraft type-certificated under 

§ 21.25(a)(1). This action will enable 

bulk fuel to be carried to isolated 

individuals and locations (such as 

villages, towns, and mining facilities) in 

the State of Alaska, during times when 

other methods are impractical.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30853; Amdt. No. 3488] 

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. 

DATES: This rule is effective August 2, 

2012. 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 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 149 / Thursday, August 2, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 45923

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.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30854; Amdt. No. 3489] 

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. 

DATES: This rule is effective August 2, 

2012. 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 August 2, 

2012.

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

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
