extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

establishes Class E airspace at Minot,

ND, to accommodate FAR Part 121 and

Part 135 air carrier aircraft executing

instrument flight rules procedure during

periods when the control tower is

closed. The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts.

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. Therefore, this regulation—(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. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

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.

Incoporation 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 Examination1. 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

located; or

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

For Purchase- Individual SIAP copies

may be obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

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

8260 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

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.
30596 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 108 / Friday, June 5, 1998 /Rules and Regulations

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.
