1998; certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent obstructions of the discharge

tubes of the fire extinguisher assemblies,

which could result in improper distribution

of the fire extinguishing agent within the

nacelle in the event of a fire, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 25 days after the effective date

of this AD, accomplish paragraphs (a)(1),

(a)(2), (a)(3), and (a)(4) of this AD, in

accordance with Raytheon Service Bulletin

SB.26–3197, dated April 1998.

(1) Remove the sealant from the firewall

mounting flanges and mounting points of the

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of changes occurring in

the National Airspace System, such as

the commissioning of new navigational

facilities, addition of new obstacles, or

changes in 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: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference—approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

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

region in which affected airport is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description on each SIAP is

contained in the appropriate FAA Form

8620 and the National Flight Data

Center (FDC)/Permanent (P) Notices to

Airmen (NOTAM) which are

incorporated by reference in the

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

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of the Federal

Aviation’s Regulations (FAR). Materials

incorporated by reference are available

for examination or purchase as stated

above.

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 of 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. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 99 / Friday, May 22, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 28221

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 97) establishes, amends, suspends,

or revokes SIAPs. For safety and

timeliness of change considerations, this

amendment incorporates only specific

changes contained in the content of the

following FDC/P NOTAM for each

SIAP. The SIAP information in some

previously designated FDC/Temporary

(FDC/T) NOTAMs is of such duration as

to be permanent. With conversion to

FDC/P NOTAMs, the respective FDC/T

NOTAMs have been canceled.

The FDC/P NOTAMs for the SIAPs

contained in this amendment are based

on the criteria contained in the U.S.

Standard for Terminal Instrument

Approach Procedures (TERPS). In

developing these chart changes to SIAPs

by FDC/P NOTAMs, the TERPS criteria

were applied to only these specific

conditions existing at the affected

airports. All SIAP amendments in this

rule have been previously issued by the

FAA in a National 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 all these

SIAP amendments requires making

them effective in less than 30 days.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the TERPS. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revoke SIAP’s. The complete regulatory

description of each SIAP is contained in

official 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 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR).

The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Form 8260–5.

Materials incorporated by reference are

available for examination or purchase as

stated above.

The large number of SIAP’s, 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. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR sections, with the types

and effective dates of the SIAPs. This

amendment also identifies the airport,

its location, the procedure identification

and the amendment number.

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. The

SIAP’s contained in this amendment are

based on the criteria contained in the

United States Standard for Terminal

Instrument Approach Procedures

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, the

TERPS criteria were applied to the

conditions existing or anticipated at the

affected airports.

The FAA has determined through

testing that current non-localizer type,

non-precision instrument approaches

developed using the TERPS criteria can

be flown by aircraft equipped with a

Global Positioning System (GPS) and or

Flight Management System (FMS)

equipment. In consideration of the

above, the applicable SIAP’s will be

altered to include ‘‘or GPS or FMS’’ in

the title without otherwise reviewing or

modifying the procedure. (Once a stand

alone GPS or FMS procedure is

developed, the procedure title will be

altered to remove ‘‘or GPS or FMS’’ from

these non-localizer, non-precision

instrument approach procedure titles.)

The FAA has determined through

extensive analysis that current SIAP’s

intended for use by Area Navigation

(RNAV) eqipped aircraft can be flown

by aircraft utilizing various other types

of navigational equipment. In

consideration of the above, those SIAP’s

currently designated as ‘‘RNAV’’ will be

redesignated as ‘‘VOR/DME RNAV’’
