Friday, January 17, 2014
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains regulatory documents having general
applicability and legal effect, most of which
are keyed to and codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations, which is published under
50 titles pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 1510.
The Code of Federal Regulations is sold by
the Superintendent of Documents. Prices of
new books are listed in the first FEDERAL
REGISTER issue of each week.

9 CFR Part 11
[Docket No. APHIS–2011–0030]
RIN 0579–AD43
Horse Protection Act; Requiring Horse
Industry Organizations To Assess and
Enforce Minimum Penalties for
Violations; Correction
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
In a final rule that was
published in the Federal Register on
June 7, 2012, and effective on July 9,
2012, we amended the horse protection
regulations to require horse industry
organizations or associations that
license Designated Qualified Persons to
assess and enforce minimum penalties
for violations of the Horse Protection
Act. One of the minimum penalties was
for violations related to shoeing the
horse, but we neglected to include a
citation to one of the shoeing violations
for which the penalty should be
assessed. This document corrects that
error.
DATES: Effective January 17, 2014.

SUMMARY:
Background
In a final rule that was published in
the Federal Register on June 7, 2012 (77
FR 33607–33619, Docket No. APHIS–
2011–0030), and effective on July 9,
2012, we amended the horse protection
regulations in 9 CFR part 11 to require
horse industry organizations or
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
associations that license Designated
Qualified Persons to assess and enforce
minimum penalties for violations of the
Horse Protection Act. We established
the minimum penalties in a new
§ 11.25.
Paragraph (c)(6) of § 11.25 sets out the
minimum penalty for a shoeing
violation, which is that the horse must
be dismissed from the remainder of the
horse show, exhibition, sale, or auction
at which it is being inspected. The
paragraph specifically cites the shoeing
violation in paragraph (b)(18) of § 11.2,
a section that lists various equipmentrelated violations. However, in the final
rule, we neglected to include paragraph
(b)(19) as a violation for which this
minimum penalty must be assessed.
Paragraph (b)(19) of § 11.2 indicates that
the following is prohibited:
Lead or other weights attached to the
outside of the hoof wall, the outside surface
of the horseshoe, or any portion of the pad
except the bottom surface within the
horseshoe. Pads may not be hollowed out for
the purpose of inserting or affixing weights,
and weights may not extend below the
bearing surface of the shoe. Hollow shoes or
artificial extensions filled with mercury or
similar substances are prohibited.
As this is a shoeing-related
prohibition, the minimum penalty for a
shoeing violation should be assessed
when a horse is found to be in violation
of paragraph (b)(19). This document
corrects the error by amending
paragraph (c)(6) of § 11.25 to refer to
both paragraphs (b)(18) and (b)(19) as
shoeing violations for which the
minimum penalty must be assessed.

and ODP is specified in the amendatory

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 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
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
