14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30969; Amdt. No. 3600] 

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 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 11, 

2014. 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 11, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows: 

For Examination— 

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA 

Headquarters Building, 800 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20591; 

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP 

copies may be obtained from:

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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 46675 

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.

Procedures for Disclosure of Records 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule revises the National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration 

(NASA) Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) regulations that the Agency 

follows in processing records under the 

FOIA. The revisions clarify and update 

procedures for requesting information 

from the Agency, as well as procedures 

that the Agency follows in responding 

to requests from the public. The 

revisions also incorporate clarifications 

and updates resulting from changes to 

the FOIA and case law. Finally, the 

revisions include current cost figures to 

be used in calculating and charging fees 

and increase the amount of information 

that members of the public may receive 

from the Agency without being charged 

processing fees. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 11, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Miriam Brown-Lam, (202) 358–0718. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

NASA published a proposed rule in 

the Federal Register at 79 FR 9430 on 

February 18, 2014, to amend its FOIA 

regulations. The rule updated and 

streamlined several procedural 

provisions and to incorporate certain 

changes brought resulting from 

amendments to the FOIA under the 

Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our 

National (OPEN) Government Act of 

2007, to reflect developments in case 

law, and to include current cost figures 

to be used in calculating and charging 

fees. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

NASA received comments from two 

members of the public as well as 

comments from a subcomponent of a 

Federal agency. NASA has also made 

minor corrections to the text. The 

following is a discussion of Comments: 

Comment 1: One commenter 

suggested that in § 1206.201, NASA 

establish categories of records to 

proactively disclose and post on its Web 

site. 

Response: The FOIA requires 

Agencies to proactively post agency 

records (Subsection (a)(2) of the FOIA) 

when they have received two requests 

for the documents and anticipate a 

third. NASA has regularly taken 

affirmative steps to make information 

available to the public through the use 

of robust Web sites. NASA routinely 

updates these Web sites to provide the 

public with documents as well as 

information, video links, etc. that are of 

value and interest to the public. NASA 

declines to adopt this comment. 

Comment 2: One commenter 

suggested that in § 1206.300(g) NASA 

include an alternative for third party 

requesters access to Privacy Act records 

if they are able to demonstrate an 

overriding public interest in the records. 

Response: NASA believes adding a 

statement of this kind would create 

confusion with regard to releasing 

Privacy Act records. There are 

significant variables concerning release 

of privacy-protected information, which 

is addressed on a case-by-case basis. An 

overriding public interest with regard to 

the release of privacy-protected 

information cannot be defined for the
