Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 241 / Monday, December 16, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
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

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
are 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, pilots 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 of 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 types 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.

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

The FAA has determined that this

does not warrant preparation of a

Background
accomplishes this mission is through
the funding of a network of Business
Centers, Specialty Centers, and other
technical assistance programs to provide
MBEs with business assistance services
and resources.
For a business to access MBDA
technical assistance programs that serve
MBEs, the individual seeking services
must certify that their business is ‘‘a
business enterprise (i) that is not less
than 51 percent-owned by 1 or more
socially or economically disadvantaged
individuals; and (ii) the management
and daily business operations of which
are controlled by 1 or more socially or
economically disadvantaged
individuals.’’ 15 U.S.C. 9501(9).
‘‘Socially or economically
disadvantaged individual’’ is defined in
the Act as ‘‘an individual who has been
subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or
cultural bias (or the ability of whom to
compete in the free enterprise system
has been impaired due to diminished
capital and credit opportunities, as
compared to others in the same line of
business and competitive market area)
because of the identity of the individual
as a member of a group, without regard
to any individual quality of the
individual that is unrelated to that
identity.’’ 15 U.S.C. 9501(15)(A).
Additionally, the Act contains a
presumption in which ‘‘the Under
Secretary shall presume that the term
‘‘socially or economically disadvantaged
individual’’ includes any individual
who is— (i) Black or African American;
(ii) Hispanic or Latino; (iii) American
Indian or Alaska Native; (iv) Asian; (v)
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific
Islander; or (vi) a member of a group
that the Agency determines under part
1400 of title 15, Code of Federal
Regulations, as in effect on November
23, 1984, is a socially disadvantaged
group eligible to receive assistance.’’ 15
U.S.C. 9501(15)(B). This presumption
was also found in MBDA’s regulations
at 15 CFR 1400.1(b) and (c), and
members of these racial groups are
presumed to be eligible for MBDA
assistance.
The Department of Commerce’s
Minority Business Development Agency
(MBDA) derives authority from the
Minority Business Development Act of
2021 (‘‘the Act’’), 15 U.S.C. 9501, et seq.,
to appoint an Under Secretary of
Commerce for Minority Business
Development to carry out the Act’s
activities and initiatives. MBDA’s
mission is to promote the growth and
global competitiveness of minority
business enterprises (MBEs) in order to
unlock the country’s full economic
potential. One of the ways MBDA

which the Court found any ‘‘provision
of the MBDA Statute that is contingent
on the presumption in 15 U.S.C.

prohibited MBDA from ‘‘imposing the

and 15 CFR 1400.1 .–.–. ’’ No. 4:23–cv–
00278–P (N.D. Tex. March 5, 2024). The
court’s injunction applies to the sections
of the Minority Business Development
Act and related regulations that require
the Under Secretary of Commerce for
Minority Business Development to
presume that a ‘‘socially or
economically disadvantaged
individual’’ ‘‘includes any individual
who is—(i) Black or African American;
(ii) Hispanic or Latino; (iii) American
Indian or Alaska Native; (iv) Asian; (v)
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific
Islander.’’ 15 U.S.C. 9501(15)(B).
Similarly, the Court enjoined the
application of 15 CFR 1400.1(b) to the
extent that it imposes racial and ethnic
classifications, and designates ‘‘Blacks,
Puerto-Ricans, Spanish-speaking
Americans, American Indians, Eskimos,
and Aleuts’’ as individuals who are
socially or economically disadvantaged.
Finally, the Court also enjoined 15 CFR
1400.1(c), which designates ‘‘Hasidic
Jews, Asian-Pacific Americans, and
Asian Indians’’ as socially or
economically disadvantaged.
Updating Regulations
As a result of the Court’s decision,
MBDA is updating their regulations at
15 CFR 1400.1(b) and (c) to remove the
sections that contain the racial
presumptions described in the decision
above. MBDA also proposes to make a
correction to 15 CFR 1400.2(a)
pertaining to the definition of minority
business enterprise and where it is
defined in the Act. The last change
pertains to striking out outdated
language referring to Executive Order
11625 in 15 CFR 1400.3 because MBDA
draws statutory authority directly from
the Act and not from the Executive
Order. See 15 U.S.C. 9597. These
changes will clarify the eligibility
requirements to qualify for MBDA
technical assistance programs that serve
MBEs.
Classification
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), the
provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act requiring notice of
proposed rulemaking and the
opportunity for public participation are
inapplicable to this final rule because
this rule relates to ‘‘public property,
loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.’’ In
addition, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) exempts
rulemakings from prior notice and
public comment procedures when an
agency finds for good cause that such
procedures ‘‘are impractical,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Here, MBDA has determined
that there is good cause and that

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 December 16, 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

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