Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 3, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 5575 

necessary as a result of this action. 

Should any changes become necessary, 

they would be submitted to OMB for 

approval. 

This rule imposes no additional 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

on either small or large California 

kiwifruit handlers. As with all Federal 

marketing order programs, reports and 

forms are periodically reviewed to 

reduce information requirements and 

duplication by industry and public 

sector agencies. As noted in the initial 

regulatory flexibility analysis, USDA 

has not identified any relevant Federal 

rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict 

with this final rule. 

AMS is committed to complying with 

the E-Government Act, to promote the 

use of the internet and other 

information technologies to provide 

increased opportunities for citizen 

access to Government information and 

services, and for other purposes. 

A proposed rule concerning this 

action was published in the Federal 

Register on November 5, 2015 (80 FR 

68473). Copies of the proposed rule 

were also mailed or sent via facsimile to 

all California kiwifruit handlers. 

Finally, the proposal was made 

available through the internet by USDA 

and the Office of the Federal Register. A 

15-day comment period ending 

November 20, 2015, was provided for 

interested persons to respond to the 

proposal. One comment in support of 

the rule was received, with the 

commenter requesting more information 

on the type of research the committee 

was conducting. The research the 

Committee recommended involves two 

field trials during the first year of a 

research proposal to study the beneficial 

effects of Nimitz nematicide on the 

Root-knot nematode. This type of 

production research is authorized under 

§ 920.47 of the marketing order and will 

benefit growers. Accordingly, no 

changes will be made to the rule as 

proposed, based on the comment 

received. 

A small business guide on complying 

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop 

marketing agreements and orders may 

be viewed at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/ 

rules-regulations/moa/small-businesses. 

Any questions about the compliance 

guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny 

at the previously mentioned address in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. 

After consideration of all relevant 

material presented, including the 

information and recommendation 

submitted by the Committee and other 

available information, it is hereby found 

that this rule, as hereinafter set forth, 

will tend to effectuate the declared 

policy of the Act. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it also found 

and determined that good cause exists 

for not postponing the effective date of 

this rule until 30 days after publication 

in the Federal Register because: (1) The 

2015–16 fiscal year began on August 1, 

2015. Handlers began shipping kiwifruit 

in September and the marketing order 

requires that the rate of assessment 

apply to all assessable kiwifruit handled 

during the fiscal period; (2) the 

Committee needs to have sufficient 

funds to pay its expenses, which are 

incurred on a continuous basis; and (3) 

handlers are aware of this action which 

was unanimously recommended by the 

Committee at a public meeting and is 

similar to other assessment rate actions 

issued in past years. Also, a 15-day 

comment period was provided for in the 

proposed rule, and one supportive 

comment was received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

HSACU Institutions for Fiscal Year 

2016 

This rule makes changes to the 

existing list of institutions in Appendix 

B of 7 CFR part 3434. The list of 

institutions is amended to reflect the 

institutions that are granted HSACU 

certification by the Secretary and are 

eligible for HSACU programs for the 

period starting October 1, 2015, and 

ending September 30, 2016. 

Certification Process 

As stated in 7 CFR 3434.4, an 

institution must meet the following 

criteria to receive HSACU certification: 

(1) Be a Hispanic-Serving Institution 

(HSI), (2) offer agriculture-related 

degrees, (3) not appear on the Excluded 

Parties List System (EPLS), (4) be 

accredited, and (5) award at least 15% 

of agriculture-related degrees to 

Hispanic students over the two most 

recent academic years. 

NIFA obtained the latest report from 

the U.S. Department of Education’s 

National Center for Education Statistics 

that lists all HSIs and the degrees 

conferred by these institutions 

(completion data) during the 2013–14 

academic year. NIFA used this report to 

identify HSIs that conferred a degree in 

an instructional program that appears in 

Appendix A of 7 CFR part 3434 and to 

confirm that over the 2012–13 and 

2013–14 academic years at least 15% of 

the degrees in agriculture-related fields 

were awarded to Hispanic students. 

NIFA further confirmed that these 

institutions were nationally accredited 

and were not listed in the System for 

Award Management (https://

www.sam.gov) with exclusions. 

The updated list of HSACUs is based 

on (1) completions data from 2012–13 

and 2013–14, and (2) enrollment data 

from Fall 2014. NIFA identified 101 

institutions that met the eligibility 

criteria to receive HSACU certification

for FY 2016 (October 1, 2015 to 

September 30, 2016). 

Declaration of Intent To Apply for 

NLGCA Designation 

As set forth in Section 7101 of the 

Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113– 

79), which amends 7 U.S.C. 3103, an 

institution that is eligible to be 

designated as an HSACU may notify the 

Secretary of its intent not to be 

considered an HSACU. To opt out of 

designation as an HSACU, an 

authorized official at the institution 

must submit a declaration of intent not 

to be considered an HSACU to NIFA by 

email at NLGCA.status@nifa.usda.gov. 

In accordance with Section 7101, a 

declaration by an institution not to be 

considered an HSACU shall remain in 

effect until September 30, 2018. 

Institutions that opt out of HSACU 

designation will have the option to 

apply for designation as a Non-Land 

Grant College of Agriculture (NLGCA) 

institution. To be eligible for NLGCA 

designation, institutions must be public 

colleges or universities offering 

baccalaureate or higher degrees in the 

study of food and agricultural sciences, 

as defined in 7 U.S.C. 3103. An online 

form to request NLGCA designation is 

available at http://nifa.usda.gov/

webform/request-non-land-grantcollege-agriculture-designation. 

In FY 2014 and FY 2015, six 

institutions opted out of their HSACU 

designation and received NLGCA 

designation, hence they are excluded 

from the FY 2016 HSACU list. 

Appeal Process 

As set forth in 7 CFR 3434.8, NIFA 

will permit HSIs that are not granted 

HSACU certification to submit an 

appeal within 30 days of the publication 

of this notice. 

Classification 

This rule relates to internal agency 

management. Accordingly, pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed 

rulemaking and opportunity for 

comment are not required, and this rule 

may be made effective less than 30 days 

after publication in the Federal 

Register. This rule also is exempt from 

the provisions of Executive Order 

12866. This action is not a rule as 

defined by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, as amended by the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 

1996, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., or the 

Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 

et seq., and thus is exempt from the 

provisions of those Acts. This rule 

contains no information collection or 

recordkeeping requirements under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31055; Amdt. No. 3677] 

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 removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures (ODPs) 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 February 3, 

2016. 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 is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of February 3, 

2016. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows: 

For Examination

Docket Ops–M30, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., West Bldg., Ground Floor, 

Washington, DC 20590–0001; 

2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization 

Service Area in which the affected 

airport is located; 

3. The office of Aeronautical 

Navigation Products, 6500 South

Availability 

All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs are available online free of charge. 

Visit the National Flight Data Center at 

nfdc.faa.gov to register. Additionally, 

individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums 

and ODP copies may be obtained from 

the FAA Air Traffic Organization 

Service Area in which the affected 

airport is located.

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 

removes 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 part 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, their complex 

nature, and the need for a special format 

make publication in the Federal 

Register expensive and impractical. 

Further, airmen do not use the 

regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums or ODPs, but instead 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, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of 

SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs 

with their applicable effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure, 

and the amendment number. 

Availability and Summary of Material 

Incorporated by Reference 

The material incorporated by 

reference is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

The material incorporated by 

reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in 

the amendatory language for part 97 of 

this final rule. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as amended 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 that 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
