Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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.

Miscellaneous Amendments
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
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 November
9, 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 November
9, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule
amends 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
The material incorporated by
reference is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section.
The material incorporated by
reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and 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 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 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.

ACTION: Final amendment; final order.
AGENCY:
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is
classifying the container system for the
processing and storage of Red Blood
Cell components under reduced oxygen
conditions into class II (special
controls). The special controls that
apply to the device type are identified
in this order and will be part of the
codified language for the classification
of the container system for the
processing and storage of Red Blood
Cell components under reduced oxygen
conditions. We are taking this action
because we have determined that
classifying the device into class II
(special controls) will provide a
reasonable assurance of safety and
effectiveness of the device. We believe
this action will also enhance patients’
access to beneficial innovative devices.
DATES: This order is effective November
9, 2023. The classification was
applicable on September 15, 2023.

I. Background
Upon request, FDA has classified the
container system for the processing and
storage of Red Blood Cell components
under reduced oxygen conditions as
class II (special controls), which we
have determined will provide a
reasonable assurance of safety and
effectiveness. The automatic assignment
of class III occurs by operation of law
and without any action by FDA,
regardless of the level of risk posed by
the new device. Any device that was not
in commercial distribution before May
28, 1976, is automatically classified as,
and remains within, class III and
requires premarket approval unless and
until FDA takes an action to classify or
reclassify the device (see 21 U.S.C.
360c(f)(1)). We refer to these devices as
‘‘postamendments devices’’ because
they were not in commercial
distribution prior to the date of
enactment of the Medical Device
Amendments of 1976, which amended
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FD&C Act).
FDA may take a variety of actions in
appropriate circumstances to classify or
reclassify a device into class I or II. We
may issue an order finding a new device
to be substantially equivalent under
section 513(i) of the FD&C Act (see 21
U.S.C. 360c(i)) to a predicate device that
does not require premarket approval.
We determine whether a new device is
substantially equivalent to a predicate
device by means of the procedures for
premarket notification under section
510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
360(k)) and part 807 (21 CFR part 807).
FDA may also classify a device
through ‘‘De Novo’’ classification, a
common name for the process
authorized under section 513(f)(2) of the
FD&C Act; (see also 21 CFR part 860,
subpart D). Section 207 of the Food and
Drug Administration Modernization Act
of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–115) established
the first procedure for De Novo
classification. Section 607 of the Food
and Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144)
modified the De Novo application
process by adding a second procedure.
A device sponsor may utilize either
procedure for De Novo classification.

Under the first procedure, the person
submits a 510(k) for a device that has
not previously been classified. After
receiving an order from FDA classifying
the device into class III under section
513(f)(1) of the FD&C Act, the person
then requests a classification under
section 513(f)(2).
Under the second procedure, rather
than first submitting a 510(k) and then
a request for classification, if the person
determines that there is no legally
marketed device upon which to base a
determination of substantial
equivalence, that person requests a
classification under section 513(f)(2) of
the FD&C Act.
Under either procedure for De Novo
classification, FDA is required to
classify the device by written order
within 120 days. The classification will
be according to the criteria under
section 513(a)(1) of the FD&C Act.
Although the device was automatically
placed within class III, the De Novo
classification is considered to be the
initial classification of the device.
When FDA classifies a device into
class I or II via the De Novo process, the
device can serve as a predicate for
future devices of that type, including for
510(k)s (see section 513(f)(2)(B)(i) of the
FD&C Act). As a result, other device
sponsors do not have to submit a De
Novo request or premarket approval
application to market a substantially
equivalent device (see section 513(i) of
the FD&C Act, defining ‘‘substantial
equivalence’’). Instead, sponsors can use
the 510(k) process, when necessary, to
market their device.
II. De Novo Classification
On January 5, 2022, FDA received
Hemanext, Inc.’s request for De Novo
classification of the Hemanext One.
FDA reviewed the request in order to
classify the device under the criteria for
classification set forth in section
513(a)(1) of the FD&C Act.
We classify devices into class II if
general controls by themselves are
insufficient to provide reasonable
assurance of safety and effectiveness,
but there is sufficient information to
establish special controls that, in
combination with the general controls,

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
The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and 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 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 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.
