14 CFR Part 97
[Docket No. 30858; Amdt. No. 3493]
Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums
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.
DATES: This rule is effective August 28,
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
of the Federal Register as of August 28,
2012.

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
AIRAC date
State
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.
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 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.
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
City
Airport
FDC No.
‘‘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:
sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
I. Introduction
On July 21, 2010, President Obama
signed the Dodd-Frank Act.1 Title VII of
the Dodd-Frank Act amended the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) 2 to
establish a comprehensive new
regulatory framework to reduce risk,
increase transparency, and promote
market integrity within the financial
system by, among other things: (1)
Providing for the registration and
comprehensive regulation of swap
dealers (SDs) and major swap
participants (MSPs); (2) imposing

clearing and trade execution
requirements on standardized derivative
products; (3) creating rigorous
recordkeeping and real-time reporting
regimes; and (4) enhancing the
Commission’s rulemaking and
enforcement authorities with respect to
all registered entities and intermediaries
subject to the Commission’s oversight.
As discussed below, the regulations
the Commission is adopting today
concern conforming and technical
amendments to part 3 governing the
registration of intermediaries. These
final regulations are based in large part
on the Commission’s proposed
regulations regarding part 3 (Proposal).3
The conforming amendments largely
consist of adding references, where
appropriate, to SDs, MSPs and swap
execution facilities (SEFs). In addition,
the adopted regulations contain
modernizing and technical amendments
to part 3 in anticipation of an influx of
new registrants. Further, the adopted
regulations clarify or update definitions,
outdated cross-references to other
regulations, and othertypographical
errors.
II. Comments 4 and Responses
A. In General
In response to the Proposal, the
Commission received four comments
from the Futures Industry Association
(FIA), the National Futures Association
(NFA), and two individuals, Chris
Barnard and Bill Nolan. In addition, the
Commission also received comments
relevant to the Proposal in a global
comment letter submitted by a U.S.
investor and a petition for exemption
submitted pursuant to Section 4(c) of
the CEA 5 by a group of trade industry
associations.6 The commenters
generally supported the Commission’s
efforts to update and modernize part 3
consistent with the regulatory
developments set forth in the DoddFR 12888, Mar. 9, 2011.
comments the Commission received on the
Proposal are currently available on the
Commission’s Web site.
5 7 U.S.C. 6(c).
6 The Commission determined that the issues
raised in the global comment letter with respect to
addressing the types of activities that would cause
a market participant to be deemed an introducing
broker engaged in swap-related activities were
outside of the scope of the Proposal, and therefore
is not addressing them in this final rule. Likewise,
the petition submitted by the trade industry
associations cited the Proposal as an example of
amendments that would likely not be effective in
time for a July 16, 2011 compliance deadline. Those
concerns were addressed when the Commission
granted related relief and extended the effective
and/or compliance date applicable to many DoddFrank requirements. See the second amended
version of the effective date order at 77 FR 41260,
July 13, 2012.
Frank Act. In consideration of the
comments received,7 and unless
specifically addressed below in the
section-by-section analysis, the
Commission adopts the final regulations
as proposed.
B. Section 3.1—Definitions
Section 3.1 proposed alterations to the
scope of persons who, by reason of their
ownership of securities of a registrant,
must be listed as a principal. The
Commission proposed to narrow the
current category of persons in
§ 3.1(a)(2)(i) to only those individuals
who are the owners or are entitled to
vote or have the power to sell or direct
the sale of 10 percent or more of the
outstanding shares of any class of equity
securities, other than non-voting
securities. The Commission intended to
narrow the scope of the provision
because the existing provision was overinclusive, in that it captured individuals
without the ability to influence a
company’s actions, such as owners of
10% of a class of preferred stock.
However, upon further reflection, the
Commission is concerned that the
Proposal might, in other ways, be underinclusive, in that it would fail to capture
an owner who might indirectly have the
power—such as through a membership
agreement—to dictate upfront the
entity’s activities that are subject to
regulation by the Commission.
Consequently, in order to strike the right
balance between the over-inclusive
existing provision and the underinclusive proposed language, the
Commission is modifying § 3.1(a)(2)(i)
to include individuals who have the
power to exercise a controlling
influence over the entity’s activities that
are subject to regulation by the
Commission.8

7 NFA requested that the Commission specifically
list the chief compliance officer of a registered
foreign exchange dealer in the definition of
principal. The Commission addressed this request
in another rulemaking, wherein chief compliance
officer is listed as an example of a principal of a
registrant. See 77 FR 20200, Apr. 3, 2012.
8 In comparison, broker-dealers regulated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission are required
to disclose on Form BD that is filed with the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority any person
not otherwise named on Schedule A as a direct
owner or Schedule B as an indirect owner who
nonetheless controls the management or policies of
the applicant through agreement or otherwise. See

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 August 28, 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 of the Federal Register as
of August 28, 2012.

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
Sec. 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.
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 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.
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.
