14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30592; Amdt. No. 3255] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of changes in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding of 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 6, 

2008. The compliance date for each 

SIAP 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 6, 

2008.

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

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. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

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 as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P–

NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts. The 

circumstances which created the need 

for all these SIAP amendments requires 

making them effective in less than 30 

days. 

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 these 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.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 1633 

Final Rule: Standard for the 

Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress 

Sets; Correction 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is making 

corrections to the flammability standard 

for mattress sets that was published in 

the Federal Register of March 15, 2006, 

(71 FR 13472). The corrections rectify 

typographical errors, clarify technical 

aspects of running the flammability test 

required by the standard, and clarify 

that the certification statement on the 

mattress set label may appear in another 

language in addition to English. 

DATES: The corrections become effective 

on February 6, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Heather Sonabend, Office of 

Compliance, Consumer Product Safety 

Commission, 4330 East West Highway, 

Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone (301) 

504–7615; e-mail hsonabend@cpsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

15, 2006, the Commission issued a final 

rule specifying a flammability standard 

to reduce deaths and injuries related to 

mattress fires. The standard contains 

requirements for a test procedure, 

recordkeeping and labeling. Other than 

the correction that allows translation of 

the certification statement, the 

corrections occur in section 1633.7, the 

provisions describing the technical 

details of running the flammability test. 

The changes are described below. 

In § 1633.7(a)(4), the term ‘‘bed 

frame’’ is changed to ‘‘test frame’’ to 

clarify that this refers to the frame used 

in the test, not a regular bed frame. This 

change is made in other paragraphs as 

well. Language also is added to this 

section to clarify that the angle iron 

should be positioned to angle down 

rather than up. 

In § 1633.7(a)(6), a new paragraph (v) 

is created to clarify that the second half 

of existing paragraph (iv) relates to the 

burner inlet line. The remaining 

subparagraphs are redesignated. A 

technical error in footnote 1 is corrected 

to provide the correct measurements for 

the plastic tubing attaching the metal 

arms to the gas control. In the paragraph 

on the flow control system, there was a 

technical error in the propane pressure 

value. 70 kPa should be 140 kPa, and 

140kPa (20 psig) should be 140 ± 5 kPa 

(20 ± 1 psig). These measurements and 

an erroneous reference to a figure 8 are 

corrected. 

In § 1633.7(b)(1)(ii) the range used for 

the propane tank is corrected from 20 

± .5 psig to 20 ± 1 psig. 

In § 1633.7(d) concerning test 

preparation a typographical error is 

corrected to state that the horizontal air 

flow velocity adjacent to the test 

specimen shall be no more than 

0.5 m/s. A few sentences in 

subparagraph (2) are changed to clarify 

placement of the mattress and 

foundation specimen on the test frame. 

In § 1633.7(e) a reference is corrected 

to correspond to the appropriate 

redesignated paragraph in § 1633.7(a)(6). 

In § 1633.7(f) the sentence concerning 

the general layout for the room 

configuration is moved to the beginning 

of the paragraph to make the paragraph 

easier to follow. 

In § 1633.7(h) an erroneous reference 

to figure 8 in subparagraph (1)(iv) is 

removed. Language is also added in that 

subparagraph to permit use of a platen 

that is another dimension than specified 

if it meets the requirements for a 

specific sample. In subparagraph (2)(i) 

rather than specifying an 8 inch length 

of duct tape to hold the platen in 

position, the language is changed to 

clarify that the duct tape be of sufficient 

length to assure that the platen stays 

firmly against the mattress surfaces. In 

subparagraph (2)(iv) language is added 

to clarify the use of flat stock to assure 

that the burner is parallel to the mattress 

surface. In subparagraph (2)(viii) the 

change clarifies that the stand off foot 

referred to is that of the vertical burner. 

The placement of footnote 9 is moved to 

the last sentence of this subparagraph 

for clarification. 

In § 1633.7(i) the abbreviation ‘‘ca.’’ is 

changed to the word ‘‘approximately’’

for clarification. 

In § 1633.12 concerning labeling, 

paragraph (a)(6)(iii) is corrected to make 

that paragraph concerning mattresses 

intended to be sold both alone and with 

a foundation consistent with paragraph 

(a)(6)(ii) concerning mattresses intended 

to be sold with a foundation. Also in 

§ 1633.12, paragraph (d) is corrected to 

make clear that translation of the 

certification statement into another 

language on the reverse side of the 

required label is permitted. 

Because these are technical 

corrections rather than substantive 

changes, notice and comment is not 

necessary. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). The 

corrections clarify technical aspects of 

the flammability testing and labeling 

provisions. They do not change the 

substantive obligations of mattress 

manufacturers and importers. For the 

same reason, there is no need to delay 

the effective date for these corrections.
