14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 28602; Amdt. No. 1736]

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

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 determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 121 / Friday, June 21, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 31831

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.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes; State of Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: On April 2, 1996 the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

published a proposal to approve the

redesignation to attainment and

associated section 175A maintenance

plan for the ozone National Ambient Air

Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the twocounty Grand Rapids, Michigan area as

a State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision. The 30-day comment period

concluded on May 2, 1996. A total of 1

comment letter was received in

response to the April 2, 1996 proposal.

On May 1, 1996, the EPA published a

14-day partial extension of the comment

period on the redesignation request and

section 175A maintenance plan, limited

to the State’s April 11, 1996 revision to

the section 175A maintenance plan

which was not available in EPA’s docket

prior to April 15, 1996. The reopened

comment period concluded on May 16,

1996. One additional comment letter

was received in response to the May 1,

1996, extension of public comment

period. This final rule summarizes all

comments and EPA’s responses, and

finalizes the approval of the

redesignation to attainment for ozone

and associated section 175A

maintenance plan for the Grand Rapids

area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action will be

effective June 21, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the SIP revisions,

public comments and EPA’s responses

are available for inspection at the

following address: (It is recommended

that you telephone Jacqueline Nwia at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background Information

The redesignation request and

maintenance plan for the Grand Rapids

and Muskegon moderate ozone

nonattainment areas discussed in this

rule were submitted on March 9, 1995

and May 1, 1995 (with a revision on

April 11, 1996), by the Michigan

Department of Environmental Quality

(MDEQ). However, the April 2, 1996

proposal and this final rule address only

the Grand Rapids area, which consists

of Kent and Ottawa Counties. On April

2, 1996, (61 FR 14522) the EPA

published a proposal to approve the

redesignation request and associated

section 175A maintenance plan as a

revision to the Michigan ozone SIP. On

May 1, 1996 (61 FR 19233), the EPA

published a partial 14-day extension of

the comment period on the

redesignation request and section 175A

maintenance plan, limited to the State’s

April 11, 1996 revision to the section

175A maintenance plan, which was not

available in EPA’s docket prior to April

15, 1996. The reopened comment period

concluded on May 16, 1996. Adverse

comments were received regarding the

proposed rule. The final rule contained

in this Federal Register addresses the

comments which were received during

the public comment periods and

announces EPA’s final action regarding

the redesignation and section 175A

maintenance plan for the Grand Rapids
