Cancellation of Standard Instrument Approach Procedures as Part 
of the National Procedures Assessment (NPA) Initiative

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing a final rule that removes certain redundant 
or underutilized ground-based nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) and VHF 
omnidirectional range (VOR) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures 
(SIAPs). On April 13, 2015, the FAA published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking to remove 736 SIAPs. This final rule addresses 125 of the 
198 procedures for which comments were received.

DATES: This rule is effective at 0901 UTC on November 10, 2016.

ADDRESSES: For information on where to obtain copies of rulemaking 
documents and other information related to this final rule, see ``How 
To Obtain Additional Information'' in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
section of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety is found in 
Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes 
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart i, Section 40103, sovereignty and use of 
airspace, and Subpart iii, Section 44701, general requirements. Under 
these sections, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to 
regulate the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace; to 
govern the flight, navigation, protection, and identification of 
aircraft for the protection of persons and property on the ground, and 
for the efficient use of the navigable airspace (49 U.S.C. 40103(b)), 
and to promote safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by 
prescribing regulations and minimum standards for other practices, 
methods, and procedures necessary for safety in air commerce and 
national security (49 U.S.C. 44701(a)(5)). This action is within the 
scope of that authority.
    SIAPs are promulgated by rulemaking procedures and are incorporated 
by reference into 14 CFR 97.20.

Background

    On June 27, 2014, the FAA published criteria for determining 
whether to retain existing SIAPs (79 FR 36576). Removing identified 
ground-based NDB and VOR SIAPs is an integral part of right-sizing the 
quantity and type of procedures in the National Airspace System (NAS). 
As new technology facilitates the introduction of area navigation 
(RNAV) instrument approach procedures, the number of procedures 
available in the NAS has nearly doubled over the past decade. The 
complexity and cost of maintaining the existing ground based 
navigational infrastructure while expanding RNAV capability is not 
sustainable.
    On April 13, 2015, the FAA published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to remove certain SIAPs (80 FR 19577). The 
NPRM included a list of 736 procedures that were identified for 
cancellation and the comment period closed on May 28, 2015. The FAA 
received comments on 198 of those procedures. Of those 198 procedures, 
125 are being addressed in this final rule. The remaining 73 require 
additional evaluation and will be addressed in a subsequent Federal 
Register document.
    It should be noted that NPA Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) 
cancellation activities, and associated criteria, do not supersede 
similar activities being performed under the FAA's Very-High Frequency 
Omni-Directional Range Minimum Operational Network (VOR MON) Program 
(see 81 FR 48694 (July 26, 2016)). However, NPA IFP cancellation 
activities have been coordinated with the FAA office responsible for 
the VOR MON implementation program, as their input has been thoroughly 
considered.

SIAPs Being Processed for Cancellation

    The following 8 SIAPs were proposed for cancellation in the NPRM: 
VOR/DME RWY 25, Alaska (GAL); VOR RWY 18, AL (DCU); VOR RWY 18, 
Illinois

[[Page 71361]]

(CMI); VOR/DME-D, TX (BPT); VOR-A, TX (BPT); VOR-B, TX (BPT); VOR-C, TX 
(BPT); NDB RWY 27, WY (CYS). In reviewing the procedures and comments, 
the FAA realized that these 8 procedures were already being processed 
for cancellation and were at various stages in that process. As such, 
the inclusion of these procedures in the NPRM was in error as they were 
already subject to prior agency commitments. The FAA notes all of these 
procedures received comment concerning the use of airport as an 
alternate, IFR training need, or backup SIAP for ILS OR LOC SIAP. The 
FAA confirms that, with the exception of GAL VOR/DME RWY 25, for each 
of the above affected procedures, the airports continue to maintain at 
least one other ground based procedure. In addition, there remain 
procedures available within a 20 nm radius of these airports for 
instrument flight training/proficiency. The procedures are listed below 
with the associated Federal Register citation announcing the 
cancellation.

Summary of Comments

SIAPs Remaining in Effect

    Prior to the comment review process, because of the possibility of 
SIAP inventory changes, all procedures were again reviewed for 
compliance with the initial cancellation criteria as stated in the 
notice of policy published June 27, 2014. The following 2 procedures 
did not meet the stated criteria and, therefore, will remain in effect 
and are not included in this final rule; however the FAA may reevaluate 
these procedures at a later date.

    Numerous comments mentioned the need for a VOR or NDB procedure as 
a ``backup'' in case a localizer-based procedure became unusable for 
any reason. The FAA determined that, in the case of an airport having a 
single instrument approach procedure using a localizer NavAid, or 
multiple instrument approach procedures using a single localizer 
NavAid, that a VOR or NDB procedure would be retained at that airport 
in case the localizer NavAid became unusable. Due to this 
determination, the following 25 procedures will remain in effect and 
are not included in this final rule; however, the FAA may reevaluate 
these procedures at a later date.

    Numerous comments mentioned the need for a VOR and/or NDB 
procedures for IFR training and/or proficiency. To address that 
concern, each procedure that received a comment(s) pertaining to IFR 
training and/or proficiency was reviewed in the following manner: If 
there was not a similar type (i.e., VOR, NDB) procedure at an airport 
within 20NM of the airport containing the procedure in question, the 
procedure in question would be retained. Based upon the method for 
reviewing comments pertaining to IFR training and/or proficiency, the 
following 11 procedures will remain in effect and are not included in 
this final rule; however, the FAA may reevaluate these procedures at a 
later date.

    The following instrument flight procedures received comments that 
were not substantive enough to warrant retention in the National 
Airspace System IFP inventory. Some comments were general in nature, 
expressing opposition to the cost of equipping their aircraft with GPS 
equipment, while others expressed opposition to the decommissioning of 
NavAids, which is unrelated to this final rule. Numerous comments 
pertained to the cancellation of multiple procedures at each airport, 
but those comments became insubstantial once another procedure at the 
same airport was retained, as in the instances mentioned previously in 
this final rule. Cancellation of the following 59 procedures is in 
accordance with the criteria stated in the notice of policy published 
June 27, 2014, as well as the criteria established for the provision 
for IFR training/proficiency as stated earlier in this final rule.

The Amendment

    SIAPs and associated supporting data adopted or removed by the FAA 
are documented on FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, and 8260-5, which are 
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 
CFR part 97. The FAA has determined that the 59 procedures listed above 
should be removed consistent with FAA policy on maintaining instrument 
approach procedures in the NAS.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this final rule 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.
