Airport/Louis Schreiner Field. The
geographic coordinates of the airport
also are adjusted. The FAA is taking this
action to enhance the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rule
(IFR) operations at the airport. Due to
subsequent decommissioning, the Shein
locator outer marker/nondirectional
radio beacon (LOM/NDB) will be
removed from the regulatory text.
DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC,
November 15, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this
incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 21, 2012, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend
Class E airspace for the Kerrville, TX,
area, creating additional controlled
airspace at Kerrville Municipal Airport/
Louis Schreiner Field (77 FR 29921)
Docket No. FAA–2011–1399. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, it was
discovered that the Shein LOM/NDB
had been decommissioned. This action
removes the Shein LOM/NDB from the
regulatory text,
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to accommodate new standard
instrument approach procedures at
Kerrville Municipal Airport/Louis
Schreiner Field, Kerrville, TX. This
action is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport. Geographic coordinates are
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. This action also
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:15 Sep 13, 2012
Jkt 226001
removes the decommissioned Shein
LOM/NDB from the regulatory text.
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, 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
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 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
controlled airspace at Kerrville
Municipal Airport/Louis Schreiner
Field, Kerrville, TX.

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.

where applicable, that good cause exists
for making these SIAPs effective in less
than 30 days.
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 August 31,
2012.
Ray Towles,
Deputy 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
(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,
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me, Title 14,
Code of Federal regulations, Part 97, 14
CFR part 97, is amended by amending
Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures, effective at 0901 UTC on
the dates specified, as follows:

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

‘‘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: 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.
