SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 7, 2012, the FAA issued
Amendment No. 1–67, entitled
‘‘Removal of Category IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc
Definitions’’ (77 FR 9163). The direct
final rule removes the definitions of
Category IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc operations.
The definitions are outdated because
they are no longer used for aircraft
certification or operational
authorization. Removing the definitions
will aid in international harmonization
efforts, future landing minima
reductions, and airspace system
capacity improvements due to the
implementation of performance based
operations. The FAA requested that
comments on that rule be received on or
before March 19, 2012.
By letter dated March 16, 2012, the
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) requested that the
FAA consider postponing the effective
date of the rule until the rule is
reviewed through an international
process. ICAO stated that due to the
short time frame, it was not in the
position to understand the full
implications of removing the Category
IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc definitions. ICAO
further stated that additional time was
necessary to adequately assess the
impact of the Direct Final Rule and
prepare comments.
On April 13, 2012, the FAA reopened
the comment period for the Direct Final
Rule until May 14, 2012, and delayed
the effective date from April 16, 2012 to
June 12, 2012. A direct final rule takes
effect on the specified date unless the
FAA receives an adverse comment or
notice of intent to file an adverse
comment within the comment period. If
adverse comments are received, the
FAA will advise the public by
publishing a document in the Federal
Register before the effective date of the
direct final rule. An adverse comment
explains why a rule would be
inappropriate or would be ineffective or
unacceptable without a change, or may
challenge the rule’s underlying premise

or approach. The FAA received eight
comments on this rule. The FAA does
not consider these comments to be
adverse and is therefore publishing this
Confirmation of Effective Date and
Response to Public Comments in
response to those comments.
Discussion of Comments
The FAA received eight comments on
this rule. Six of those comments were
received during the original comment
period, and two comments were
received after the comment period
reopened. ICAO, Boeing, and five
individuals commented on this rule.
On March 16, 2012, ICAO requested
that the FAA delay the effective date of
the rule so that it may conduct further
review of this rulemaking. By letter
dated May 14, 2012, ICAO submitted a
follow up comment, stating that it has
been clarified that ‘‘removal of the
Category IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc definitions
from 14 CFR part 1 will not impact
relevant operational documents such as
advisory circulars.’’ Additionally, ICAO
further stated that ‘‘this initiative would
have no impact on the recognition of
any CAT III a, b, or c operational
approval for international operators or
United States-issued operational
approvals which conform to Annex 6—
Operation of Aircraft. On this basis, the
International Civil Aviation
Organization has no objection to the
change * * *’’
Two individual commenters
expressed support for this rulemaking.
Boeing and three individual
commenters expressed concern about
various aspects of this rulemaking.
Boeing submitted a comment during the
original comment period. It stated that
‘‘[w]ithout additional guidance, the
removal of these categories’ definitions
will create confusion and
inconsistencies in the establishment of
operational authorizations, and leave
subject to individual interpretation the
low weather minima capabilities of the
combined ground, space, and airborne
systems.’’ Boeing also noted that this
rulemaking will require corresponding
changes to other FAA regulations,
orders and advisory circulars and will
have substantial international
ramifications. Additionally, Boeing
suggested that ‘‘the public be given the
opportunity to review the proposed
changes in their entirety and comment
via the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) process.’’ Boeing did not
submit an additional comment during
the reopened comment period.
Several individual commenters
expressed similar concerns. One
commenter stated that ‘‘[a] unilateral
change of these standards by the United
