discretionary on the part of CBP. The
methods of redress are:
(l) Enrollment center. The applicant/
participant may contest his or her
denial, suspension or removal by
writing to the enrollment center where
that individual’s interview was
conducted. The enrollment center
addresses are available at
www.globalentry.gov. The letter must be
received by CBP within 30 calendar
days of the date provided as the date of
suspension or removal. The individual
should write on the envelope ‘‘Redress
Request RE: Global Entry.’’ The letter
should address any facts or conduct
listed in the notification from CBP as
contributing to the denial, suspension or
removal and why the applicant/
participant believes the reason for the
action is invalid. If the applicant/
participant believes that the denial,
suspension or revocation was based
upon inaccurate information, the
individual should also include any
reasonably available supporting
documentation with the letter. After
review, CBP will inform the individual
PO 00000

of its redress decision. If the
individual’s request for redress is
successful, the individual’s eligibility to
participate in Global Entry will resume
immediately.
(2) DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry
Program (DHS TRIP). The applicant/
participant may choose to initiate the
redress process through DHS TRIP. An
applicant/participant seeking redress
may obtain the necessary forms and
information to initiate the process on
the DHS TRIP Web site at www.dhs.gov/
trip, or by contacting DHS TRIP by mail
at the address on this Web site.
(3) Ombudsman. Applicants
(including applicants who were not
scheduled for an interview at an
enrollment center) and participants may
contest a denial, suspension or removal
by writing to the CBP Trusted Traveler
Ombudsman at the address listed on the
Web site www.globalentry.gov.

History
Class C airspace areas are designed to
improve air safety by reducing the risk
of midair collisions in high volume
airport terminal areas and to enhance
the management of air traffic operations
in that area. The FAA Central Service
Center recently completed its biennial
evaluation of existing Class C airspace
areas in the Central Service Area and
determined three Class C airspace areas
required description amendments to
match the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Specifically, this amendment corrects
the airport names for Springfield, MO;
Lincoln, NE; and Grand Rapids, MI, and
makes minor adjustments to the ARP
geographic position information for
Springfield, MO, and Grand Rapids, MI.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
amending Class C airspace at
Springfield, MO; Lincoln, NE; and
Grand Rapids, MI. The airport formerly
known as Springfield-Branson Regional
Airport in Springfield, MO, is renamed
Springfield-Branson National Airport.
The airport formerly known as Lincoln
Municipal Airport in Lincoln, NE., is
renamed Lincoln Airport. The airport
formerly known as Grand Rapids Kent
County International Airport in Grand
Rapids, MI, is renamed Gerald R. Ford
International Airport. Additionally, the
ARP geographic position for the
Springfield-Branson National Airport is
changed from lat. 37°14′40″ N., long.
93°23′13″ W. to lat. 37°14′44″ N., long.
93°23′19″ W., and the ARP geographic
position for the Gerald R. Ford
International Airport is changed from
lat. 42°52′57″ N., long. 85°31′26″ W. to
lat. 42°52′51″ N., long. 85°31′22″ W.
These minor adjustments to the
geographic coordinates reflect the
current information in the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
There are no changes to routing or air
traffic control procedures resulting from
this action. Accordingly, since this is an
administrative change and does not
affect the boundaries, altitudes, or
operating requirements of the airspace,
notice and public procedures under
Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
Class C airspace areas are published
in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order
7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011 and
effective September 15, 2011, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class C airspace area
amendment in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

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 Department of
Transportation (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, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section
40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to
assign the use of the airspace necessary
to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority as
it amends the descriptions of the Class
C airspace areas established in the
vicinity of Springfield, MO, Lincoln,
NE, and Grand Rapids, MI.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 311a. This airspace action is
not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

and Obstacle Departure Procedures;
Miscellaneous Amendments
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
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.
SUMMARY:
This rule is effective February 6,
2012. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule
amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by
establishing, amending, suspending, or
revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulators
description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP
for an identified airport is listed on 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 FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4,
8260–5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when
required by an entry on 8260–15A.
The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, in addition to
their complex nature and the need for
a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and
impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not
use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their depiction on charts printed
by publishers of aeronautical materials.
The advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of
the complete description of each SIAP,
Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This
amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs
and the effective dates of the, associated
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
5693
amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is
effective upon publication of each
separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and
ODP as contained in the transmittal.
Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and
textual ODP amendments may have
been issued previously 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
Takeoff Minimums and ODP
amendments may require making them
effective in less than 30 days. For the
remaining SIAPS and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPS, an effective date
at least 30 days after publication is
provided.
Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPS 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
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, 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, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedures before
adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and,
where applicable, that good cause exists
for making some 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
Class C airspace areas are designed to improve air safety by
reducing the risk of midair collisions in high volume airport terminal
areas and to enhance the management of air traffic operations in that
area. The FAA Central Service Center recently completed its biennial
evaluation of existing Class C airspace areas in the Central Service
Area and determined three Class C airspace areas required description
amendments to match the FAA's aeronautical database. Specifically, this
amendment corrects the airport names for Springfield, MO; Lincoln, NE;
and Grand Rapids, MI, and makes minor adjustments to the ARP geographic
position information for Springfield, MO, and Grand Rapids, MI.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class C airspace at Springfield, MO; Lincoln, NE;
and Grand Rapids, MI. The airport formerly known as Springfield-Branson
Regional Airport in Springfield, MO, is renamed Springfield-Branson
National Airport. The airport formerly known as Lincoln Municipal
Airport in Lincoln, NE., is renamed Lincoln Airport. The airport
formerly known as Grand Rapids Kent County International Airport in
Grand Rapids, MI, is renamed Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
Additionally, the ARP geographic position for the Springfield-Branson
National Airport is changed from lat. 37[deg]14'40'' N., long.
93[deg]23'13'' W. to lat. 37[deg]14'44'' N., long. 93[deg]23'19'' W.,
and the ARP geographic position for the Gerald R. Ford International
Airport is changed from lat. 42[deg]52'57'' N., long. 85[deg]31'26'' W.
to lat. 42[deg]52'51'' N., long. 85[deg]31'22'' W. These minor
adjustments to the geographic coordinates reflect the current
information in the FAA's aeronautical database.
There are no changes to routing or air traffic control procedures
resulting from this action. Accordingly, since this is an
administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or
operating requirements of the airspace, notice and public procedures
under Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
Class C airspace areas are published in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order
7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011 and effective September 15, 2011, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class C airspace area
amendment in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
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 Department of Transportation (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,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the descriptions of the Class C airspace areas established
in the vicinity of Springfield, MO, Lincoln, NE, and Grand Rapids, MI.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
