14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 28534; Amdt. No. 1723]

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

(SIAPs) 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:

For Examination—

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA

Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591;

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located; or

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase—Individual SIAP

copies may be obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

200), FAA Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; or

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located.

By Subscription—Copies of all SIAPs,

mailed once every 2 weeks, are for sale

by the Superintendent of Documents,

U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)
18070 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). 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 § 97.20

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Form 8260–5.

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 (and FAR) 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.

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. The

SIAPs contained in this amendment are

based on the criteria contained in the

United States Standard for Terminal

Instrument Approach 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

Global Positioning System (GPS)

equipment. In consideration of the

above, the applicable Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) will be altered to include ‘‘or

GPS’’ in the title without otherwise

reviewing or modifying the procedure.

(Once a stand alone GPS procedure is

developed, the procedure title will be

altered to remove ‘‘or GPS’’ from these

non-localizer, non-precision instrument

approach procedure titles.) 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 some

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

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.

Electronic Filing of International Airline

Passenger Rules Tariffs

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule authorizes airlines

to electronically file tariff rules

governing availability of passenger fares

and their conditions of service, subject

to certain minimal format requirements.

The Department’s regulations have

permitted the electronic filing of

passenger fares since 1989. The

Department is undertaking this action in

support of the administration’s

campaign to reinvent government and at

the request of tariff publishing agents in

order to extend the efficiencies of

electronic data transmission and

processing to the filing of passenger

rules tariffs.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation is

effective on April 24, 1996.

Keith A. Shangraw or Mr. John H. Kiser,

International Aviation, Pricing and

Multilateral Affairs Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 19, 1995, the Department

published a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking (NPRM) to authorize

electronic filing of airline tariff rules

governing international passenger fares

and the general conditions of service

associated with their use (60 FR 26848).

The proposed action would largely

eliminate the filing of paper tariff rules,

an archaic system that no longer meets

the data transmission and processing

requirements of the industry or the

Department. In addition, it will save the

airline industry over a million dollars in

tariff submission, printing and

distribution costs and will substantially

reduce the Department’s review, filing

and storage expenses.

The Department’s regulations have

permitted the electronic filing of
