Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 97
[Docket No. 30472; Amdt. No. 3147]
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 December 27, 2005. 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 December 27, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591;

telephone: (405) 954-4164.
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
[[Page 76393]]
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.
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.
