DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30256; Amdt. No. 2058]

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

(SIAP’s) 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, 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 matters

incorporated by reference in the

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes 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 references 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.

The Rule

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 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) equipped 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’’

without otherwise reviewing or

modifying the SIAP’s.

Because of the close and immediate

relationship between these SIAP’s 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 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.

20 CFR Part 404

[Regulations No. 4]

RIN 0960–AF59

Extension of Expiration Dates for

Several Body System Listings

AGENCY: Social Security Administration

(SSA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: We adjudicate claims at the

third step of our sequential evaluation

process for evaluating disability using

the Listing of Impairments (the Listings)

under the Social Security and

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

programs. This final rule extends until

July 2, 2003, the date on which several

body system listings will no longer be

effective. We have made no revisions to

the medical criteria in these listings;

they remain the same as they now

appear in the Code of Federal

Regulations. This extension will ensure

that we continue to have medical

evaluation criteria in the listings to

adjudicate claims for disability based on

impairments in these body systems at

step three of our sequential evaluation

process.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final regulation is

effective June 28, 2001.

For information on eligibility or filing

for benefits, call our national toll-free

number, 1–800–772–1213 or TTY 1–

800–325–0778, or visit our Internet web

site, Social Security Online, at

www.ssa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We use

the Listings in appendix 1 to subpart P

of part 404 at the third step of the

sequential evaluation process to

evaluate claims filed by adults and

children for benefits based on disability

under the Social Security and SSI

programs. The Listings are divided into

parts A and B. We use the criteria in

part A to evaluate the impairments of

adults. We first use the criteria in part

B to evaluate impairments of children.

If the criteria in part B do not apply,

then we will apply the medical criteria

in part A.

In this final rule, we are extending

until July 2, 2003, the dates on which

several body system listings will no

longer be effective to allow sufficient
