14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30512 ; Amendment No. 3183]


Standard Instrument Approach Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment amends 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, 
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 September 11, 2006. 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 September 11, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the 
amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations, part 97 (14 CFR part 97) amends Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedures (SIAPs). The complete regulatory description of 
each SIAP is contained in the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by 
the the National Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen 
(P-NOTAM), which is incorporated by reference in the amendment under 5 
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and Sec.  97.20 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations. 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 
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 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 chart 
changes to SIAPs, 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 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.
    Further, the SIAPs contained in this amendment are based on the 
criteria contained in 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.

[[Page 53322]]

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.
