14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30451; Amdt. No. 3127]


Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, Weather Takeoff 
Minimums; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and/or Weather Takeoff 
Minimums 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: This rule is effective July 26, 2005. The compliance date for 
each SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums 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 July 26, 2005.

amendment is as follows:

telephone: (405) 954-4164.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to title 14 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, part 97 (14 CFR part 97), establishes, amends, 
suspends, or revokes SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums. The 
complete regulatory description of each SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff 
Minimums 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 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA Forms are 
identified as FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5 and 8260-15A. Materials 
incorporated by reference are available for examination or purchase as 
stated above.
    The large number of SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums, 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 and/or Weather 
Takeoff Minimums but refer to their 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 and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums contained in 
FAA form documents is unnecessary. The provisions of this amendment 
state the affected CFR sections, with the types and effective dates of 
the SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums. This amendment also 
identifies the airport, its location, the procedure identification and 
the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of 
each separate SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums as contained in the 
transmittal. Some SIAP and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums amendments may 
have been previously issued by the FAA in a 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, and/or Weather 
Takeoff Minimums amendments may require making them effective in less 
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums, 
an effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums contained in 
this amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard 
for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs 
and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums, 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/or Weather 
Takeoff Minimums and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and 
public procedure before adopting these SIAPs and/or Weather Takeoff 
Minimums are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, 
where applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs and/or 
Weather Takeoff Minimums 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.
