The Rule
Federal Aviation Administration
All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are available online free of charge.
Visit the National Flight Data Center
online at nfdc.faa.gov to register.
Additionally, individual SIAP and
Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may
be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic
Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located.
This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is
effective upon publication of each
separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP as amended in the transmittal.
For safety and timeliness of change
considerations, this amendment
incorporates only specific changes
contained for each SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP as modified by
FDC permanent NOTAMs.
The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums
and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent 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 and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, 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 that created the
need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments
require making them effective in less
than 30 days.
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 procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) are impracticable and contrary to
the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good
cause exists for making these SIAPs
effective in less than 30 days.
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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule amends, suspends,
or removes 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 for the
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 December
12, 2019. 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 December
12, 2019.

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 (NFDC)/Permanent
Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. 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 on FAA form
documents is unnecessary.
This amendment provides the affected
CFR sections, and specifies the SIAPs
and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with
their applicable effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure and the
amendment number.

The Department of Education
(‘‘Department’’) issues a final rule
amending its Availability of Information
to the Public regulations to reflect
amendments to the Freedom of
Information Act (‘‘FOIA’’) made by the
FOIA Improvement Act of 2016
(‘‘Improvement Act’’) and a minor
technical update. Among other things,
the Improvement Act requires the
Department to amend its FOIA
regulations to extend the deadline for
administrative appeals for FOIA
decisions, add information on dispute
resolution services, and amend the way
the Department charges fees for FOIA
requests.

§ 5.10 Public Reading Room
Statute: The Improvement Act
amended 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2) to require
that each agency ensure that certain
categories of records are available for
public inspection in an electronic
format, rather than available in person
for copying, as previously required. The
amendments also expanded the
categories of records that must be made
available for public inspection to
include records that have been
requested under FOIA three or more
times.
Current Regulations: Current § 5.10(a)
requires the Department to maintain a
public reading room containing certain
agency records required to be made
available for public inspection and
copying under FOIA. Current § 5.10(b)
provides that the public reading room
will include certain categories of
records, such as final opinions, orders
in adjudications, and agency records
released to the public pursuant to a
FOIA request and that are likely to be
the subject of future FOIA requests.
Current § 5.10(c) requires the
Department to make the reading room
records available for inspection
electronically.

§ 5.10 to reflect the emphasis in 5 U.S.C.

agency records created on or after
November 1, 1996, including by
renaming the section and reorganizing
the requirements. Although the new
regulations continue to allow the
Department to maintain its reading
room, we are revising § 5.10 to highlight
that the Department is only required to
make such records available for public
inspection in an electronic format,
rather than available in person for
copying. In § 5.10(a), we are adding to
the list of records required to be made
available records requested three or
more times under FOIA, and, in
§ 5.10(c), we have clarified that, for
records created before November 1,
1996, the Department will continue to
make hard copies available upon
request in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(3).
Reason: We are revising § 5.10 so it
aligns with the Improvement Act.

Statute: Under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(3)(A), a
request for records must reasonably
describe the records and be made in
accordance with published rules stating
the time, place, fees, and procedures to
be followed. It does not explicitly
require a requester to provide contact
information upon filing a request.
Current Regulations: Under current
§ 5.20(a), a FOIA request for an agency
record must be in writing (via paper,
facsimile, or electronic mail) and
transmitted to the Department as
indicated on the Department’s website.
New Regulations: We are adding to
§ 5.20(a) that each request must include
a valid email or physical address, and
we are omitting reference to the manner

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes 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

adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the 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 December 12, 2019. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the

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 (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20.
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 on FAA form documents is
unnecessary.
This amendment provides the affected CFR sections, and specifies
the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective
dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the
procedure and the amendment number.
Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference
