SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 27, 2006, the FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 

establishing a Class E airspace area at 

Santa Cruz, CA. (71 FR 62954). 

Additional controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is needed to contain 

helicopters executing Special COPTER 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) 040 Point In 

Space Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedure (SIAP) and a Special COPTER 

RNAV (GPS) 227 Departure Procedure 

serving Dominican Hospital Heliport. 

The intended effect of this proposal is 

to provide adequate controlled airspace 

for helicopters executing Special 

COPTER Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 040 

Point In Space Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a 

Special COPTER RNAV (GPS) 040 Point 

In Space Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedure (SIAP) and a Special COPTER 

RNAV (GPS) 227 Departure Procedure 

serving Dominican Hospital Heliport, 

Santa Cruz, CA. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments to the proposal were 

received. Class E airspace designations 

for airspace extending from 700 feet or 

more above the surface of the earth are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 

2006, and effective September 15, 2006, 

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 a Class E airspace area at 

Santa Cruz, CA. The establishment of a 

Special COPTER Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) 040 Point In Space Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 

and a Special COPTER RNAV (GPS) 227 

Departure Procedure serving Dominican 

Hospital Heliport has made this action 

necessary. The effect of this action will 

provide adequate controlled airspace for 

helicopters executing the Special 

COPTER Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 040 

Point In Space Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedure (SIAP) and Special 

COPTER RNAV (GPS) 227 Departure 

Procedure to Dominican Hospital 

Heliport, Santa Cruz, CA. 

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.

[Docket No. 30531; Amdt. No. 3201] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment amends 

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: This rule is effective January 9, 

2007. The compliance date for each 

SIAP 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 January 9, 

2007.

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) 

amends Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete 

regulatory description of each SIAP is 

contained in the appropriate FAA Form 

8260, as modified by the National Flight 

Data Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to 

Airmen (P–NOTAM), which is 

incorporated by reference in the 

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

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations. 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 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 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P–

NOTAM, and 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, 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 FDC 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 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.
