BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 28612; Amdt. No. 1737]

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.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 35627

For Purchase—Individual SIAP

copies may be obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

200), FAA Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue SW.,

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,

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 Forms 8260–3, 8260–

4, and 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.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. Some

SIAP amendments may have been

previously issued by the FAA in a

National 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

amendments may require making them

effective in less than 30 days. For the

remaining SIAPs, an effective date at

least 30 days after publication is

provided.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the U.S. 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.

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.

Bureau of Consular Affairs

22 CFR Part 41

[Public Notice 2409]

VISAS: Passports and Visas Not

Required for Certain Nonimmigrants

AGENCY: Bureau of Consular Affairs,

DOS.

ACTION: Interim Rule with request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This interim rule amends part

41, title 22 of the Code of Federal

Regulations concerning visas for

nonimmigrants pursuant to section 217

of the Immigration and Nationality Act

(INA), 8. U.S.C. 1187, as amended.

Section 217, as amended, extends the

Visa Waiver Pilot Program to nationals

of all countries that qualify under the

provisions of the Pilot Program and

which are designated by the Secretary of

State and the Attorney General as

countries whose nationals benefit from

the waiver of the nonimmigrant B–1/B–

2 visa requirement. This amendment

extends the Visa Waiver Pilot Program

to Argentina, which has met all of the

requirements for the Program.

DATES: This interim rule is effective July

8, 1996. Written comments are invited

and must be received on or before

August 7, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be

submitted, in duplicate, to the Chief,

Legislation and Regulations Division,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Stephen K. Fischel, Chief, Legislation

and Regulations Division, Visa Office,

Department of State, Washington, DC

20522–0113 (202) 663–1204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

interim rule amends Part 41, Title 22 of

the Code of Federal Regulations

concerning visas for nonimmigrants

pursuant to section 217 of the

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA),

8 U.S.C. 1187, as amended by Pub. L.

103–415, 108 Stat. 4299, October

25,1994 and Pub. L. 103–416, 108 Stat.

4305, October 25, 1994.

Section 313 of the Immigration

Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA),

Pub. L. 99–603, added section 217 to the

INA. Section 217, 8 U.S.C. 1187,

established the nonimmigrant Visa

Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP) which

waives the nonimmigrant visa

requirement for the admission of certain

aliens into the United States for a period

not to exceed ninety days. That original

provision authorized the participation

of eight countries in the VWPP to be

designated by the Secretary of State and

the Attorney General, acting jointly

through their designees. These original

qualifying countries included: France;

the Federal Republic of Germany; Italy;

Japan, the Netherlands; Sweden;

Switzerland; and the United Kingdom.

[See Federal Register publications 53

FR 24903–24904, June 30, 1988; 53 FR

50161–50162, December 13, 1988; and

54 FR 27120–27121, June 27, 1989.]

Pub. L.103–415 amended section 217

of the INA to extend the Visa Waiver

Pilot Program (VWPP) through

September 30, 1995. Pub. L. 103–416

amended section 217 of the INA to

extend the Visa Waiver Pilot Program to

September 30, 1996, and to create a new

probationary status for certain countries

which meet the requirements for that

status under the Visa Waiver Pilot

Program and which are designated by

the Secretary of State and the Attorney

General, acting jointly, as countries

whose nationals benefit from the waiver

of the nonimmigrant B–1/B–2 visa

requirement.

On November 29, 1990, the President

approved the Immigration Act of 1990

(Pub. L. 101–649, 104 Stat. 4978) [IA]).

Section 201 thereof revised the Visa

Waiver Pilot Program set forth in section

313 of IRCA (Sec. 217 INA, 8 U.S.C.

1187). It removed the eight-country cap

and extended its provisions to all

countries that meet the qualifying

provisions of the Visa Waiver Pilot

Program and are designated by the

Secretary of State and the Attorney

General as Pilot Program countries

thereunder.

Effective October 1, 1991, Andorra,

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland,

Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,

Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, San

Marino, and Spain, having met all of the

requirements for participants in the

nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Pilot

Program, were added as participants in

the Program. [See 56 FR 46716–46717,

September 13, 1991.] Brunei was

designated as a participant in the Visa

Waiver Pilot Program by the Secretary of

State and the Attorney General, acting

jointly through their designees, in an

interim rule published at 58 FR 40581–

40586 of the Federal Register of July 26,

1993. On March 28, 1995 the interim

rule published at 59 FR 15872–15873

added Ireland as a Visa Waiver Pilot

Program country with probationary

status.

Each of the above rules amended 22

CFR 41.2. This interim rule, with

request for comments, further amends

Part 41, Title 22 to include Argentina as

a Visa Waiver Pilot Program country
