Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30851; Amdt. No. 3486] 

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 July 20, 

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 July 20, 

2012. 

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 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
42628 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Chinook Salmon 

Bycatch Management in the Gulf of 

Alaska Pollock Fishery; Amendment 93 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule and notice of 

approval of an FMP amendment. 

SUMMARY: NMFS publishes regulations 

to implement Amendment 93 to the 

Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP). 

The regulations apply exclusively to the 

directed pollock trawl fisheries in the 

Central and Western Reporting Areas of 

the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) (Central and 

Western GOA). Amendment 93 

establishes separate prohibited species 

catch (PSC) limits in the Central and 

Western GOA for Chinook salmon 

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), which 

would cause NMFS to close the directed 

pollock fishery in the Central or 

Western regulatory areas of the GOA, if 

the applicable limit is reached. This 

action also requires retention of salmon 

by all vessels in the Central and Western 

GOA pollock fisheries until the catch is 

delivered to a processing facility where 

an observer is provided the opportunity 

to count the number of salmon and to 

collect scientific data or biological 

samples from the salmon. This action 

makes several revisions to the 

Prohibited Species Donation (PSD) 

program. Amendment 93 is intended to 

promote the goals and objectives of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, the 

FMP, and other applicable laws. 

DATES: Effective August 25, 2012, except 

for: 50 CFR 679.21(h)(2) will be effective 

January 1, 2013, and 50 CFR 

679.21(h)(3) will be effective August 25, 

2012, until November 1, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the 

proposed and final rules, the 

Environmental Assessment (EA), and 

Regulatory Impact Review for this 

action may be obtained from http:// 

www.regulations.gov or from the Alaska 

Region Web site at http:// 

alaskafisheries.noaa.gov. 

Written comments regarding the 

burden-hour estimates or other aspects 

of the collection-of-information 

requirements contained in this final rule 

may be submitted by mail to NMFS, 

Alaska Region, P.O. Box 21668, Juneau, 

AK 99802–1668, Attn: Ellen Sebastian, 

Records Officer; in person at NMFS, 

Alaska Region, 709 West 9th Street,

fax to 202–395–7285. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Grady, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fisheries in the 

U.S. exclusive economic zone of the 

GOA under the Fishery Management 

Plan for Groundfish of the GOA (FMP). 

The North Pacific Fishery Management 

Council (Council) prepared, and NMFS 

approved, the FMP under the authority 

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. 

Regulations governing U.S. fisheries and 

implementing the FMP appear at 50 

CFR parts 600 and 679. 

The Notice of Availability for 

Amendment 93 was published in the 

Federal Register on November 23, 2011 

(76 FR 72384), with a 60-day comment 

period that ended January 23, 2012. The 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 

approved Amendment 93 on February 

17, 2012. The proposed rule to 

implement Amendment 93 was 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 14, 2011 (76 FR 77757). The 

45-day comment period on the proposed 

rule ended January 30, 2012. NMFS
