No. 4065] 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 removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) 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 June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023.

Telephone (405) 954–1139. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory 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 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260–15A, 8260–15B, when required by an entry on 8260–15A, and 8260–15C. The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and specifies the typed of SIAPS, 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 The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section. The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97 of this final rule. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended 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 flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The circumstances that 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 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 some 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 regulations. AGENCY: This document contains additional final regulations that provide guidance on the transition away from the use of interbank offer rates (‘‘IBORs’’) to other reference rates. Specifically, this regulation provides the replacement rate for the IBOR presently used in the published rate election, which may be used by taxpayers to determine the amount of interest expense attributable to their excess U.S.connected liabilities and allocable to income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States (‘‘ECI’’). The final regulations will affect foreign banks that have income that is ECI. DATES: Effective date: This regulation is effective on June 30, 2023. Applicability date: For dates of applicability, see § 1.882–5(f)(3). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: D. Peter Merkel or Caleb W. Trimm, (202) 317–6938 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background This document contains final regulations that provide for the replacement of the 30-day IBOR rate presently referenced by § 1.882– 5(d)(5)(ii)(B) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (‘‘SOFR’’) of the same tenor, plus a fixed spread adjustment. I. Discontinuation of IBORs and Transition to SOFRs The London Interbank Offered Rate (‘‘LIBOR’’) is an interest rate benchmark that was the dominant reference rate used in financial contracts, at one point serving as the benchmark for more than $200 trillion of contracts worldwide. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the United Kingdom regulator tasked with overseeing LIBOR, announced that publication of all currency and term variants of LIBOR, including the U.S. dollar LIBOR (‘‘USD PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 42231 LIBOR’’), may cease after the end of 2021. On March 5, 2021, the administrator of LIBOR, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Association, announced that publication of the overnight, one-month, three-month, sixmonth, and 12-month USD LIBORs would cease following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Association will continue to publish an unrepresentative synthetic USD LIBOR in one-month, three-month, and six-month tenors until September 30, 2024.1 Publication of all other currency and tenor variants of LIBOR (including the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR) ceased following the LIBOR publication on December 31, 2021. The Alternative Reference Rate Committee (‘‘ARRC’’), whose ex officio members include the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Department of the Treasury (‘‘Treasury Department’’), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Office of Financial Research, was convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to identify alternative reference rates that would be both more robust than USD LIBOR and that would comply with standards such as the International Organization of Securities Commissions’ ‘‘Principles for Financial Benchmarks.’’ In 2017, the ARRC identified a SOFR-based rate as its recommended replacement for LIBOR. In 2021, the ARRC recommended the forward-looking term SOFRs published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group Benchmark Administration, Ltd. in one-month, three-month, and sixmonth tenors. The ARRC has also recommended static spread adjustments to each of those tenors to adjust for the fact that SOFRs are risk-free rates, while IBORs include an element of bank credit risk. The static spread adjustments are based on the historical median over a 5year lookback period calculating the difference between USD LIBOR and compounded averages of SOFR, set on 1 The synthetic USD LIBOR will be the Term SOFR of the same tenor (published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group Benchmark Administration, Ltd.), plus a fixed spread adjustment of 0.11448%, 0.26161%, or 0.42826% for the one-, three-, and six-month tenors, respectively. Financial Conduct Authority, Article 23D Benchmarks Regulation Draft Notice of Requirements (April 3, 2023), https:// www.fca.org.uk/publication/libor-notices/article23d-benchmarks-regulation-usd-draft-noticerequirements.pdf. This rate is not considered representative because it uses a synthetic methodology to determine rates instead of the panel bank methodology that has historically been used to determine IBORs.

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and 
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums 
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) 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 June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023.

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by 
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory 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 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B, when 
required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex 
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the 
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use 
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead 
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or 
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by 
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of 
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is 
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and 
specifies the typed of SIAPS, 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

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as 
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff 
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of 
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended 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 
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that 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 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 some 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.
