■ 3. Section 2.311 is revised to read as 

follows: 

§ 2.311 Interlocutory review of rulings on 

requests for hearings/petitions to intervene, 

selection of hearing procedures, and 

requests by potential parties for access to 

sensitive unclassified non-safeguards 

information and safeguards information. 

(a) An order of the presiding officer, 

or if a presiding officer has not been 

designated, of the Chief Administrative 

Judge, or if he or she is unavailable, of 

another administrative judge, or of an 

administrative law judge with 

jurisdiction under § 2.318(a), may be 

appealed to the Commission with 

respect to: 

(1) A request for hearing; 

(2) A petition to intervene; or 

(3) A request for access to sensitive 

unclassified non-safeguards information 

(SUNSI), including, but not limited to, 

proprietary, confidential commercial, 

and security-related information, and 

Safeguards Information (SGI). An appeal 

to the Commission may also be taken 

from an order of an officer designated to 

rule on information access issues. 

(b) These appeals must be made as 

specified by the provisions of this 

section, within ten (10) days after the 

service of the order. The appeal must be 

initiated by the filing of a notice of 

appeal and accompanying supporting 

brief. Any party who opposes the appeal 

may file a brief in opposition to the 

appeal within ten (10) days after service 

of the appeal. The supporting brief and 

any answer must conform to the 

requirements of § 2.341(c)(2). No other 

appeals from rulings on requests for 

hearings are allowed. 

(c) An order denying a petition to 

intervene, and/or request for hearing, or 

a request for access to the information 

described in paragraph (a) of this 

section, is appealable by the requestor/ 

petitioner on the question as to whether 

the request and/or petition should have

intervene, and/or request for hearing, or 

granting a request for access to the 

information described in paragraph (a) 

of this section, is appealable by a party 

other than the requestor/petitioner on 

the question as to: 

(1) Whether the request for hearing or 

petition to intervene should have been 

wholly denied; or 

(2) Whether the request for access to 

the information described in paragraph 

(a)(3) of this section should have been 

denied in whole or in part. However, 

such a question with respect to SGI may 

only be appealed by the NRC staff, and 

such a question with respect to SUNSI 

may be appealed only by the NRC staff 

or by a party whose interest 

independent of the proceeding would be 

harmed by the release of the 

information. 

(e) An order selecting a hearing 

procedure may be appealed by any party 

on the question as to whether the 

selection of the particular hearing 

procedures was in clear contravention 

of the criteria set forth in § 2.310. The 

appeal must be filed with the 

Commission no later than ten (10) days 

after issuance of the order selecting a

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30595; Amdt. No. 3258] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This Rule establishes, 

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures 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, adding new 

obstacles, or changing 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 March 10, 

2008. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations listed in the regulations is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of March 10, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by 

establishing, amending, suspending, or 

revoking SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums 

and/or ODPs. The complete regulatory 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on 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. The applicable FAA Forms 

are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–

5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when 

required by an entry on 8260–15A. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, in addition to 

their complex nature and the need for 

a special format make publication in the 

Federal Register expensive and 

impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not 

use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, 

Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead 

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, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP listed on FAA forms is 

unnecessary. This amendment provides 

the affected CFR sections and specifies 

the types of SIAPs and the effective 

dates of the SIAPs, the associated 

Takeoff Minimums, and ODPs. This 

amendment also identifies the airport 

and its location, the procedure, and the 

amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as contained in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously 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 

Takeoff Minimums and ODP 

amendments may require making them 

effective in less than 30 days. For the 

remaining SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, an effective date 

at least 30 days after publication is 

provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs 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 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, 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, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find 

that notice and public procedure before 

adopting these SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs 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.

Addition of Lithuania to the List of 

Nations Entitled to Special Tonnage 

Tax Exemption 

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to information 

provided by the Department of State, 

Customs and Border Protection has 

found that no discriminating or 

countervailing duties are imposed by 

the government of Lithuania on vessels 

owned by citizens of the United States. 

Accordingly, vessels of Lithuania are 

exempt from special tonnage taxes and 

light money in ports of the United 

States. This document amends title 19 

of the Code of Federal Regulations by 

adding Lithuania to the list of nations 

whose vessels are exempt from payment 

of any higher tonnage duties than are 

applicable to vessels of the United

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Generally, the United States imposes 

regular and special tonnage taxes, and a 

duty of a specified amount per ton, 

called ‘‘light money,’’ on all foreign 

vessels which enter U.S. ports (46 

U.S.C. 60301–60303). However, vessels 

of a foreign country may be exempted 

from the payment of special tonnage 

taxes and light money upon 

presentation of satisfactory proof that 

the government of that foreign country 

does not impose discriminatory or 

countervailing duties to the 

disadvantage of the United States (46 

U.S.C. 60304). 

Section 4.22, Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) regulations (19 CFR 

4.22), lists those countries whose 

vessels have been found to be exempt 

from the payment of any higher tonnage 

duties than are applicable to vessels of 

the United States and from the payment 

of light money. The authority to amend 

this section of the CBP regulations has 

been delegated to the Chief, Trade and 

Commercial Regulations Branch, 

Regulations and Rulings, Office of 

International Trade. 

By letter dated April 13, 2007, the 

Department of State informed CBP that 

the government of Lithuania does not 

impose discriminating or countervailing 

duties on vessels owned by citizens of 

the United States. Accordingly, the 

Department of State recommended that 

Lithuania be added to the list of 

countries whose vessels are exempt 

from special tonnage taxes and light 

money in ports of the United States, 

effective February 13, 2002. 

Finding 

On the basis of the above-mentioned 

information from the Department of 

State regarding the absence of 

discriminating or countervailing duties 

imposed by the government of Lithuania 

on vessels owned by citizens of the 

United States, CBP has determined that 

vessels of Lithuania are exempt from the 

payment of special tonnage tax and light 

money, effective February 13, 2002. The 

CBP regulations are amended 

accordingly. 

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed 

Effective Date 

Because this amendment merely 

implements a statutory requirement and 

confers a benefit upon the public, CBP 

has determined that notice and public 

procedure are unnecessary pursuant to 

section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B)). Further, for the same 

reasons, good cause exists for 

dispensing with a delayed effective date 

under section 553(d)(3) of the APA (5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act and 

Executive Order 12866 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This 

amendment does not meet the criteria 

for a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ as 

specified in Executive Order 12866.
