Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 97
[Docket No. 30519 Amdt. No. 3190]
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 October 30, 2006. 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 October 30, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

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.
