14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30250; Amdt. No. 2053]

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

located; or

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase—Individual SIAP

copies may be obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

200), FAA Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; or

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located.

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.

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 NOTAMs 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

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,

29694 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

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.

Diamond Mountain District Viticultural

Area (99R–223P)

AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco

and Firearms (ATF), Department of the

Treasury.

ACTION: Treasury decision, final rule.

SUMMARY: This Treasury decision will

establish a viticultural area in Napa

County, California, to be known as

‘‘Diamond Mountain District.’’ This

viticultural area is a result of a petition

submitted by Rudy von Strasser of Von

Strasser Winery on behalf of the

Diamond Mountain Appellation

Committee, representing 15 growers and

vintners in the proposed area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective July 31, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Background on Viticultural Areas

What Is ATF’s Authority To Establish a

Viticultural Area?

ATF published Treasury Decision

ATF–53 (43 FR 37672, 54624) on

August 23, 1978. This decision revised

the regulations in 27 CFR part 4,

Labeling and Advertising of Wine, to

allow the establishment of definitive

viticultural areas. The regulations allow

the name of an approved viticultural

area to be used as an appellation of

origin on wine labels and in wine

advertisements. On October 2, 1979,

ATF published Treasury Decision ATF–

60 (44 FR 56692) which added 27 CFR

part 9, American Viticultural Areas, for

the listing of approved American

viticultural areas, the names of which

may be used as appellations of origin.

What Is the Definition of an American

Viticultural Area?

An American viticultural area is a

delimited grape-growing region

distinguishable by geographic features.

Viticultural features such as soil,

climate, elevation, topography, etc.,

distinguish it from surrounding areas.

What Is Required To Establish a

Viticultural Area?

Any interested person may petition

ATF to establish a grape-growing region

as a viticultural area. The petition

should include:

• Evidence that the name of the

proposed viticultural area is locally

and/or nationally known as referring to

the area specified in the petition;

• Historical or current evidence that

the boundaries of the viticultural area

are as specified in the petition;

• Evidence relating to the

geographical characteristics (climate,

soil, elevation, physical features, etc.)

which distinguish the viticultural

features of the proposed area from

surrounding areas;

• A description of the specific

boundaries of the viticultural area,

based on features which can be found

on United States Geological Survey

(U.S.G.S.) maps of the largest applicable

scale; and

• A copy (or copies) of the

appropriate U.S.G.S. map(s) with the

boundaries prominently marked.

2. Rulemaking Proceeding

Petition

Rudy von Strasser of Von Strasser

Winery petitioned ATF for the

establishment of a viticultural area in

Napa County, California, to be called

‘‘Diamond Mountain.’’ The petition was

filed on behalf of the Diamond

Mountain Appellation Committee,

whose 15 growers and vintners

represent 87 percent of the total

vineyard holdings in the viticultural

area. The proposed viticultural area is

located entirely in Napa County,

California and encompasses

approximately 5,000 acres, of which

approximately 450 acres are planted to

vineyards.

Notices of Proposed Rulemaking

A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,

Notice No. 882, was published in the

Federal Register on September 29, 1999,

requesting comments from all interested

persons concerning the proposed

viticultural area. The comment period

was to close on November 29, 1999. On

November 15, 1999, ATF received a

request from Fred and Mary Constant of

Diamond Mountain Vineyard to extend

the comment period an additional 60

days. Diamond Mountain Vineyard is

located within both Napa and Sonoma

Counties, partially within the

boundaries proposed for the Diamond

Mountain viticultural area. According to

the winery, it had been unable to get

timely and complete information on the

specifics of the proposal and therefore it

needed additional time to prepare its

comments. In view of this, on November

26, 1999, ATF published Notice No. 886

extending the comment period until

January 28, 2000.

Comments

Thirty-nine comments were received

in response to Notice 882. Thirty-seven

of the comments favored adoption of the

viticultural area as proposed. Twentyfive of these specifically supported the

use of the Napa and Sonoma county line

as one of the boundary lines for

proposed area. These commenters

maintained that because the name

‘‘Diamond Mountain’’ has always been

associated with Napa Valley, the

boundaries should not encompass any

areas outside Napa County.

Fred and Mary Constant of Diamond

Mountain Vineyards submitted two

comments proposing two changes to the

proposed viticultural area. First, they

proposed changing the name to

‘‘Diamond Mountain District.’’ The

Constants argued that because the

proposed area does not physically

encompass all of Diamond Mountain, as

identified on the U.S.G.S. map included

in the petition, the name ‘‘Diamond

Mountain’’ could be confusing. The

Constants, who own a trademark for the

name ‘‘Diamond Mountain Vineyard’’,

also felt that ‘‘Diamond Mountain

District’’ would reduce confusion and

conflicts with their trademark, their

winery name, and other Diamond

Mountain trademarks. As evidence for

the use of this name, the Constants

submitted two documents in which

‘‘District’’ is used in association with

‘‘Diamond Mountain’’. One, a 1913

school board document, twice referred

to the Diamond Mountain school

district. The other, an article from the

12/4/99 issue of the Wine Business

Insider on the proposed Diamond

Mountain viticultural area, used the

phrase ‘‘Diamond Mountain District’’.

The Constants also proposed

amending the southwestern boundary of

the viticultural area to include their

Sonoma county property. Their

vineyard, Diamond Mountain Vineyard,

straddles the Napa and Sonoma county

line. Fifty-five of its acres are located in

Napa County within the proposed

boundaries of the Diamond Mountain

viticultural area, while 15 of its acres

are in Sonoma county, just outside the

proposed boundaries. The Constants

argued that their Sonoma property is on

Diamond Mountain and should

therefore be included in any viticultural

area bearing its name. Referring to the

U.S.G.S. map submitted by the

petitioners (Calistoga, CA 1993,

1:24,000), they pointed out that much of
