Pate, Flight Procedure Standards Branch (AFS–420), Flight Technologies and Programs Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125) 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 National Flight PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 899 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 § 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 27, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by 
establishing a Class E airspace area at Santa Cruz, CA. (71 FR 62954). 
Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface is needed to contain helicopters executing Special COPTER Area 
Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) 040 Point In Space 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a Special COPTER RNAV 
(GPS) 227 Departure Procedure serving Dominican Hospital Heliport. The 
intended effect of this proposal is to provide adequate controlled 
airspace for helicopters executing Special COPTER Area Navigation 
(RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) 040 Point In Space Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a Special COPTER RNAV (GPS) 
040 Point In Space Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a 
Special COPTER RNAV (GPS) 227 Departure Procedure serving Dominican 
Hospital Heliport, Santa Cruz, CA.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments to the proposal were received. Class E airspace 
designations for airspace extending from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes a Class E airspace 
area at Santa Cruz, CA. The establishment of a Special COPTER Area 
Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) 040 Point In Space 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and a Special COPTER RNAV 
(GPS) 227 Departure Procedure serving Dominican Hospital Heliport has 
made this action necessary. The effect of this action will provide 
adequate controlled airspace for helicopters executing the Special 
COPTER Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) 040 Point 
In Space Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and Special 
COPTER RNAV (GPS) 227 Departure Procedure to Dominican Hospital 
Heliport, Santa Cruz, CA.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation--(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. Since this is a routine matter 
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
