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 Air
Missions (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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

amendment will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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.
SUMMARY:

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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
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
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

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.

Update to Minimum Present Value
Requirements for Defined Benefit Plan
Distributions
Internal Revenue Service (IRS),
Treasury.
ACTION: Final regulations.
AGENCY:
This document sets forth final
regulations providing guidance relating
to the minimum present value
requirements applicable to certain
defined benefit pension plans. These
regulations provide guidance on
changes made by the Pension Protection
Act of 2006 to the prescribed interest
rate and mortality table and other
guidance, including rules regarding the
treatment of preretirement mortality
discounts and Social Security level
income options. These regulations affect
participants, beneficiaries, sponsors,
and administrators of defined benefit
pension plans.
DATES:
Effective date: These regulations are
effective on January 19, 2024.
Applicability date: These regulations
generally apply to distributions with
annuity starting dates that occur on or
after October 1, 2024.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 401(a)(11) of the Internal
Revenue Code (Code) provides rules
that a defined benefit plan must satisfy
with respect to a vested participant in
order to be a qualified plan under

section 401(a). Under those rules, except
as provided under section 417: (1) if the
participant survives to the annuity
starting date, the accrued benefit
payable to the participant must be
provided in the form of a qualified joint
and survivor annuity (QJSA); and (2) if
the participant dies before the annuity
starting date and has a surviving spouse,
the plan must provide a qualified
preretirement survivor annuity (QPSA)
to the surviving spouse.
Under section 417(e)(1), a plan may
provide that the present value of a QJSA
or a QPSA will be distributed
immediately if that present value does
not exceed the amount that may be
distributed without the participant’s
consent under section 411(a)(11).1
Under section 417(e)(2), if the present
value of the QJSA or the QPSA exceeds
that amount, then a plan may
immediately distribute the present value
of the QJSA or the QPSA only if the
participant and the spouse of the
participant (or, if the participant has
died, the surviving spouse) consent in
writing to the distribution.
Section 417(e)(3)(A) provides that the
present value of the QJSA or QPSA must
not be less than the present value
calculated by using the applicable
mortality table and the applicable
interest rate.2
Section 417(e)(3)(B), as amended by
section 302 of the Pension Protection
Act of 2006, Public Law 109–280, 120
Stat. 780 (PPA ’06), provides that the
term ‘‘applicable mortality table’’ means
a mortality table, modified as
appropriate by the Secretary, based on
the mortality table specified for the plan
year under section 430(h)(3)(A) of the
Code (without regard to section
430(h)(3)(C) or (D)).
Section 417(e)(3)(C), as amended by
section 302 of PPA ’06, provides that the
term ‘‘applicable interest rate’’ means
1 Section 411(a)(11)(A) generally provides that if
the present value of a participant’s nonforfeitable
accrued benefit exceeds $7,000 ($5,000 for
distributions made on or before December 31,
2023), then the benefit may not be distributed
immediately without the participant’s consent.
2 Under section 411(a)(11)(B), the present value
that is used to apply the rules of section 411(a)(11)
is calculated using the rules of section 417(e)(3).

the adjusted first, second, and third
segment rates applied under rules
similar to the rules of section
430(h)(2)(C) of the Code for the month
before the date of the distribution or
such other time as the Secretary may
prescribe by regulations. However, for
purposes of section 417(e)(3), these rates
are determined without regard to the
segment rate stabilization rules of
section 430(h)(2)(C)(iv). In addition,
under section 417(e)(3)(D), these rates
are determined using the average yields
for a month, rather than the 24-month
average used under section 430(h)(2)(D).
Section 411(a)(13), as added by
section 701(b) of PPA ’06, provides that
an ‘‘applicable defined benefit plan,’’ as
defined by section 411(a)(13)(C) of the
Code, is not treated as failing to meet
the requirements of section 417(e) with
respect to accrued benefits derived from
employer contributions solely because
the present value of a participant’s
accrued benefit (or any portion thereof)
may be, under the terms of the plan,
equal to the amount expressed as the
hypothetical account balance or as an
accumulated percentage of such
participant’s final average
compensation.
The Department of the Treasury
(Treasury Department) and the IRS
issued final regulations under section
417 relating to the QJSA and QPSA
requirements in 1988 (53 FR 31854,
August 22, 1988), and amended those
regulations in 1998 (63 FR 16898, April
3, 1998), to reflect changes to section
417(e)(3) enacted by the Retirement
Protection Act of 1994, Subtitle F of
Title VII of the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act, Public Law 103–465,
108 Stat. 4809 (RPA ’94). Section
1.417(e)–1 was further amended in 2016
(81 FR 62359, September 9, 2016) to
permit defined benefit plans to bifurcate
a benefit that is paid partly in the form
of an annuity and partly in a more
accelerated form and to apply the
requirements of section 417(e)(3) only to
the accelerated portion of the
distribution. However, § 1.417(e)–1 was
not updated at that time to reflect
changes made by PPA ’06.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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.
[[Page 3551]]
DATES: This rule is effective January 19, 2024. 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 January 19, 2024.

Oklahoma City, OK 73099. 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
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.
