14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30460; Amdt. No. 3136] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, Weather Takeoff 

Minimums; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, 

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums 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: This rule is effective October 19, 

2005. The compliance date for each 

SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums 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 October 19, 

2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to Title 14 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR 

part 97), establishes, amends, suspends, 

or revokes SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums. The complete 

regulatory description of each SIAP 

and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums 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 part 97.20. The applicable FAA 

Forms are identified as FAA Forms 

8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5 and 8260–15A. 

Materials incorporated by reference are 

available for examination or purchase as 

stated above. 

The large number of SIAPs and/or 

Weather Takeoff Minimums, 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 and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums but refer to their 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 and/ 

or Weather Takeoff Minimums 

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 and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums. This amendment 

also identifies the airport, its location, 

the procedure identification and the 

amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums as contained in the 

transmittal. Some SIAP and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums amendments may 

have been previously issued 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/or 

Weather Takeoff Minimums 

amendments may require making them 

effective in less than 30 days. For the 

remaining SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums, an effective date at 

least 30 days after publication is 

provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and/or Weather 

Takeoff Minimums 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/or Weather Takeoff Minimums, 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 and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums and safety in air commerce, 

I find that notice and public procedure 

before adopting these SIAPs and/or 

Weather Takeoff Minimums are 

60716 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 19, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

1 42 U.S.C. 6294. The statute also requires the 

Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) to develop test 

procedures that measure how much energy the 

appliances use and to determine the representative 

average cost a consumer pays for the different types 

of energy available. 

2Reports for dishwashers are due June 1. Reports 

for central air conditioners and heat pumps are due 

July 1. 3The Commission’s classification of ‘‘standard’’

and ‘‘compact’’ dishwashers is based on internal 

load capacity. Appendix C of the Commission’s 

Rule defines ‘‘compact’’ as including countertop 

dishwasher models with a capacity of fewer than 

eight (8) place settings and ‘‘standard’’ as including 

portable or built-in dishwasher models with a 

capacity of eight (8) or more place settings. The 

Rule requires that place settings be determined in 

accordance with appendix C to 10 CFR part 430, 

subpart B, of DOE’s energy conservation standards 

program. 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest and, where applicable, that 

good cause exists for making some 

SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums 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.

16 CFR Part 305 

Rule Concerning Disclosures 

Regarding Energy Consumption and 

Water Use of Certain Home Appliances 

and Other Products Required Under 

the Energy Policy and Conservation 

Act (‘‘Appliance Labeling Rule’’) 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) amends 

its Appliance Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) by 

publishing new ranges of comparability 

for required labels on central air 

conditioners, heat pumps, and compact 

dishwashers. The Commission also 

announces that the current ranges of 

comparability for standard dishwashers 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

DATES: Effective Date: The amendments 

announced in this document will 

become effective on January 23, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Hampton Newsome, Attorney, Division 

of Enforcement, Federal Trade 

Commission, Washington, DC 20580 

(202–326–2889). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Appliance Labeling Rule was issued by 

the Commission in 1979, 44 FR 66466 

(Nov. 19, 1979), in response to a 

directive in the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (‘‘EPCA’’).1

The Rule covers several categories of 

major household appliances including 

dishwashers, central air conditioners, 

and heat pumps. 

The Rule requires manufacturers of all 

covered appliances to disclose specific 

energy consumption or efficiency 

information (derived from the DOE test 

procedures) at the point of sale in the 

form of an ‘‘EnergyGuide’’ label and in 

catalogs. The Rule requires 

manufacturers to include, on labels and 

fact sheets, an energy consumption or 

efficiency figure and a ‘‘range of 

comparability.’’ This range shows the 

highest and lowest energy consumption 

or efficiencies for all comparable 

appliance models so consumers can 

compare the energy consumption or 

efficiency of other models (perhaps 

competing brands) similar to the labeled 

model. The Rule also requires 

manufacturers to include, on labels for 

some products, a secondary energy 

usage disclosure in the form of an 

estimated annual operating cost based 

on a specified DOE national average cost 

for the fuel the appliance uses. 

Section 305.8(b) of the Rule requires 

manufacturers, after filing an initial 

report, to report certain information 

annually to the Commission by 

specified dates for each product type.2

These reports, which assist the 

Commission in preparing the ranges of 

comparability, contain the estimated 

annual energy consumption or energy 

efficiency ratings for the appliances 

derived from tests performed pursuant 

to the DOE test procedures. Because 

manufacturers regularly add new 

models to their lines, improve existing 

models, and drop others, the data base 

from which the ranges of comparability 

are calculated is constantly changing. 

To keep the required information on 

labels consistent with these changes, the 

Commission will publish new ranges if 

an analysis of the new information 

indicates that the upper or lower limits 

of the ranges have changed by more 

than 15%. Otherwise, the Commission 

will publish a statement that the prior 

ranges remain in effect for the next year. 

I. 2005 Dishwasher Ranges 

The Commission has analyzed the 

annual data submissions for 

dishwashers. The ranges of 

comparability for standard dishwashers 

have not changed significantly this 

year.3 Therefore, the manufacturers of 

standard dishwashers should continue 

to use the ranges published by the 

Commission on September 9, 2004 (69 

FR 54558). The compact dishwasher 

data, however, indicates a significant 

change to the high and low of the range. 

Accordingly, the Commission is 

amending the range for compact 

dishwashers in Appendix C1 of the
