    SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes 
    Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) 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, addition of new obstacles, or changes in 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: An effective date for each SIAP is specified in the amendatory 
    provisions.
        Incorporation by reference-approved by the Director of the Federal 
    Register on December 31, 1980, and reapproved as of January 1, 1982.
    
    ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the 
    amendment is as follows:

    800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
        2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected 
    airport is located; or
        3. The Flight Inspection Area Office which originated the SIAP.
        For Purchase--Individual SIAP copies my be obtain from:
        1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,

    Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

    telephone: (405) 954-4164.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 97 of the Federal 
    Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97) establishes, amends, suspends, or 
    revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs). The complete 
    regulatory description of each SIAP is contained in official FAA form 
    documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5 
    U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and Sec. 97.20 of the Federal Aviation 
    Regulations (FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are identified as FAA Forms 
    8260-3, 8260-4, and 8260-5. Materials incorporated by reference are 
    available for examination or purchase as stated above.
        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 in FAA form documents is 
    unnecessary. The provisions of this amendment state the affected CFR 
    (and FAR) sections, with the types and effective dates of the SIAPs. 
    This amendment also identifies the airport, its location, the procedure 
    identification and the amendment number.
    
    The Rule
    
        This amendment to part 97 is effective upon publication of each 
    separate SIAP as contained in the transmittal. Some SIAP amendments may 
    have been previously issued by the FAA in a National Flight Data Center 
    (NFDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate 
    flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The 
    circumstances which created the need for some SIAP amendments may 
    require making them effective in less than 30 days. For the remaining 
    SIAPs, an effective date at least 30 days after publication is 
    provided.
        Further, the SIAPs contained in this amendment are based on the 
    criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument 
    Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs, 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 and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public 
    procedure before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to 
    the public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for 
    making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    
    Conclusion
    
        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.
