14 CFR Part 97
[Docket No. 30657; Amdt. No. 3313]
Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures;
Miscellaneous Amendments
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES
SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends,
suspends, or revokes 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 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 March 17,
2009. 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 March 17,
2009.
ADDRESSES: Availability of matter
incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

(TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, 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 which created the need
for all these SIAP amendments requires
making them effective in less than 30
days.
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.

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 (FDC)/Permanent
Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference in the
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1
CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of
the Code of Federal Regulations.
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. This
amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAP
and the corresponding effective dates.
This amendment also identifies the
airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 6,
2009.
John M. Allen,
Director, Flight Standards Service.
The Rule
Adoption of the Amendment
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

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.

SUMMARY: Section 703 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2008 (NDAA–08) states with

DoD that are provided by network retail
pharmacies under the program to
eligible covered beneficiaries are subject
to the pricing standards in such section
8126. NDAA–08 was enacted on January
28, 2008. The statute requires
implementing regulations. This final

A. Background
Section 703 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(NDAA–08) (Pub. L. 110–181) enacted
10 U.S.C. 1074g(f). It provides that with
respect to any prescription filled on or
after the date of enactment of the
NDAA, the TRICARE Retail Pharmacy
Program shall be treated as an element
of the DoD for purposes of procurement
of drugs by Federal agencies under
section 8126 of title 38, United States
Code (U.S.C.), to the extent necessary to
ensure pharmaceuticals paid for by the
DoD that are provided by network retail
pharmacies under the program to
eligible covered beneficiaries are subject
to the pricing standards in such section
8126. NDAA–08 was enacted on January
28, 2008. The statute requires
implementing regulations.
The Veterans Health Care Act (VHCA)
of 1992, codified at 38 U.S.C. 8126,
established Federal Ceiling Prices
(FCPs) of covered pharmaceuticals
(requiring a minimum 24% discount off
non-Federal average manufacturing
prices—‘‘non-FAMP’’) procured by the
four designated agencies covered in the
Act: Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA), DoD, Coast Guard, and the Public
Health Service/Indian Health Service.
The non-FAMP is the average price paid
to the manufacturer by wholesalers (or,
if there are insufficient wholesale sales,
others who purchase directly from the
manufacturer) for drugs distributed to
non-federal purchasers, taking into
account any cash discounts or similar
reductions given to those purchasers.
The VA administers the VHCA discount

program on behalf of the four specified
agencies. The DoD consulted closely
with the VA in the development of this
final rule and also, consistent with 10
U.S.C. 1073, consulted with the
Departments of Health and Human
Services and Homeland Security.
The TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits
Program operates under the authority of
10 U.S.C. 1074g. It provides outpatient
drugs to TRICARE beneficiaries through
Military Treatment Facility (MTF)
pharmacies, the TRICARE mail order
pharmacy program (TMOP), and a
TRICARE Retail Pharmacy program
consisting of TRICARE Retail Pharmacy
Network and retail non-network
pharmacies. As implemented, the new
statutory requirement will only apply to
pharmaceuticals paid for by DoD and
provided to eligible beneficiaries
through the TRICARE Retail Pharmacy
Network. There are approximately
60,000 retail pharmacies in the Retail
Pharmacy Network. Section 1074g
requires DoD to establish a Uniform
Formulary of pharmaceutical agents,
selected based on clinical and cost
effectiveness, as evaluated by the DoD
Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T)
Committee, reviewed by the Beneficiary
Advisory Panel, and decided by the
Director, TRICARE Management
Activity (TMA). The Uniform Formulary
has three tiers: Tier 1 contains generic
drugs; Tier 2 brand name Uniform
Formulary drugs; and Tier 3 nonFormulary drugs. Drugs in all three tiers
are covered by the TRICARE Pharmacy
Benefits Program, but cost sharing and
other program differences encourage the
use of generic drugs and Uniform
Formulary brand name drugs.
The TRICARE Retail Pharmacy
Network is managed under a single
Pharmacy Benefits Manager contract,
