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.

14 CFR Part 97
[Docket No. 31520; Amdt. No. 4090]
Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures;
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 December 5,
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 December
5, 2023.

Telephone: (405) 954–1139.
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 Air Missions (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,
pilots 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
PO 00000
Frm 00001

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
E:\FR\FM\05DER1.SGM
05DER1
84234
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 5, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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.

24, 2023.
