No. 3630] Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures 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, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide for the 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 February 27, 2015. The compliance date for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP 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 February 27, 2015.

Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125) telephone: (405) 954–4164. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20. 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 on FAA form documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure and the amendment number. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section. The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97 of this final rule. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs. The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC permanent 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 changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to 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 that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than 30 days. Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days. 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 E:\FR\FM\27FER1.SGM 27FER1

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: In a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 
1, 2014, and effective on that date, we adopted, with changes, an 
interim rule that amended the regulations concerning the importation of 
live birds and poultry (including hatching eggs) and bird and poultry 
products from regions where any subtype of highly pathogenic avian 
influenza (HPAI) is considered to exist. As part of this action, we 
intended to clarify that table eggs from regions considered to have 
HPAI may only be imported under APHIS permit for scientific, 
educational, or research purposes to approved establishments, and only 
if the Administrator has determined that the importation can be made 
under conditions that will prevent the introduction of HPAI into the 
United States. However, we did not add references to HPAI to one of the 
table egg provisions of the final rule as we intended. This document 
corrects that oversight.

DATES: Effective February 27, 2015.

National Import Export Services, Animal Health Policy and Programs, VS,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule \1\ that was published in 
the Federal Register on December 1, 2014 (79 FR 70997-71007, Docket No. 
APHIS-2006-0074), and effective on that date, we adopted, with changes, 
an interim rule that amended the regulations concerning the importation 
of live birds and poultry (including hatching eggs) and bird and 
poultry products from regions where any subtype of highly pathogenic 
avian influenza (HPAI) is considered to exist. As part of this action, 
we intended to amend the regulations in Sec.  94.6(c)(4) to clarify 
that table eggs from regions considered to have HPAI that do not meet 
the requirements of Sec.  94.6(c)(1) through Sec.  94.6(c)(3) may only 
be imported if the Administrator has determined that the importation 
can be made under conditions that will prevent the introduction of HPAI 
into the United States. However, we did not add references to HPAI in 
Sec.  94.6(c)(4) of the table egg provisions of the final rule as we 
intended. We are amending the regulations to correct that oversight.

    We also wish to clarify a statement we made in the preamble to the 
final rule regarding the requirements for importing table eggs from 
HPAI regions. We incorrectly stated that table eggs moved to approved 
establishments for breaking and pasteurization require an APHIS permit. 
Such eggs do not require an APHIS permit for importation and, as 
indicated in Sec.  94.6(c)(2), may be moved from the port of arrival in 
the United States, under seal of the United States Department of 
Agriculture, to an approved establishment for breaking and 
pasteurization.
