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 within the State of Alaska, to provide
bulk fuel to isolated individuals or
locations in the State of Alaska.

**DATES :**  This policy is August 2, 2012.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Federal Aviation Administration, Aircraft Certification Service, Aircraft Engineering Division, Certification Procedures Office (AIR–110), Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, P.O. Box 26460, Oklahoma City, OK 73125. Attn: Jon Mowery. Telephone (405) 954–4776, fax 405–954–2209, email to: jon.mowery@faa.gov.

**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 fuelhauling 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.

2012. David W. Hempe, Manager, Aircraft Engineering Division, Aircraft Certification Service.

**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

Dunham III, Flight Procedure Standards Branch (AFS–420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. 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.

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
