14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30305; Amdt. No. 3002]


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 
changes occurring in the National Airspace system, such as the 
commissioning of new navigational facilities, additional 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 effected airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP is specified in the amendatory 
provisions.
    Incorporated by reference-approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register on December 31, 1980, and reapproved as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 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 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, US Government Printing 
Office, Washington, DC 20402.

Standards Branch (AMCAFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs 
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,

City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK. 73125)

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 on each SIAP is contained in the appropriate FAA 
Form 8260 and the National Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent (P) 
Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) which are incorporated by reference in the 
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and Sec. 97.20 of the 
Federal Aviation's Regulations (FAR). 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 of 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 date 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 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 97) establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes SIAPs. For 
safety and timeliness of change considerations, this amendment 
incorporates only specific changes contained in the content of the 
following FDC/P NOTAMs for each SIAP. The SIAP information in some 
previously designed FDC/Temporary (FDC/T) NOTAMs is of such duration as 
to be permanent. With conversion to FDC/P NOTAMs, the respective FDC/T 
NOTAMs have been canceled.
    The FDC/P NOTAMs for the SIAPs contained in this amendment are 
based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal 
Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these chart changes to 
SIAPs by FDC/P NOTAMs, the TERPS criteria were applied to only these 
specific conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP 
amendments in this rule 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 all these SIAP amendments requires making them effective less than 
30 days.
    Further, the SIAPs contained in this amendment are based on the 
criteria contained in the TERPS. 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'' Executive 
Order 12866; (2) is not a

[[Page 19670]]

``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.
