14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31311; Amdt. No. 3904]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

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.

DATES: This rule is effective May 12, 2020. 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 May 12, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 97 (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 the
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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55198; File No. SR-NYSE-2006-116]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Amending Annual Report Timely Filing
Requirements

January 30, 2007.

I. Introduction

    On December 14, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''
or ``Exchange'') submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend Section 802.01E of its Listed Company
Manual (``Manual'') to end, as of December 31, 2007, the Exchange's
discretion to continue the listing of certain companies that are twelve
months late in filing their annual reports with the Commission. The
proposed rule change was published for public comment in the Federal
Register on December 28, 2006.\3\ The Commission received no comment
letters regarding the proposed rule

change. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54977 (December 20,
2006), 71 FR 78249.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Section 802.01E of the Manual to
end, as of December 31, 2007, the Exchange's discretion to continue the
listing of certain companies that are twelve or more months late in
filing their annual reports \4\ with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The term ``annual report'' used herein refers to the filing
of Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 802.01E of the Manual provides that if a company fails to
timely file a periodic annual report with the Commission, the Exchange
will monitor the company and the status of the filing. If the company
fails to file the annual report within six months from the filing due
date, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, allow the company's
securities to be traded for up to an additional six-month period
depending on the company's specific circumstances; but in any event if
the company does not file its periodic annual report by the end of the
one year period (``Initial Twelve-Month Period''), the Exchange will
begin suspension and delisting procedures in accordance with the
procedures in Section 804.00 of the Manual.
    Section 802.01E states that, in certain unique circumstances, a
listed company that is delayed in filing its annual report beyond the
Initial Twelve-Month Period may have a position in the market (relating
to both the nature of its business and its very large publicly held
market capitalization) such that its delisting from the Exchange would
be significantly contrary to the national interest and the interests of
public investors. In such a case, where the Exchange believes that the
company remains suitable for listing given, among other factors,\5\ its
relative financial health and compliance with the NYSE's quantitative
and qualitative listing standards, and where there is a reasonable
expectation that the company will be able to resume timely filings in
the future, the Exchange may forebear, at its sole discretion, from
commencing suspension and delisting, notwithstanding the company's
failure to file within the time periods specified in Section 802.01E of
the Manual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Section 802.01E of the Manual for a complete list of the
factors that the Exchange must consider when determining whether to
continue listing a company beyond the Initial Twelve-Month Period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has determined that it is unnecessary for the Exchange
to retain the discretion to allow companies to continue to be listed
beyond the Initial Twelve-Month Period after December 31, 2007.
Therefore, under this proposed amendment, the Exchange's discretion to
allow a company to continue to be listed beyond the Initial Twelve-
Month Period set forth in Section 802.01E of the Manual shall expire on
December 31, 2007. If, prior to December 31, 2007, the Exchange had
determined to continue listing a company beyond the Initial Twelve-
Month Period under the circumstances specified in Section 802.01E of
the Manual as described above,\6\ and the company fails to file its
periodic annual report by December 31, 2007, suspension and delisting
procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in
Section 804.00 of the Manual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See supra note 5 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange. In particular,
the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ which requires an Exchange to have rules
that are designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \8\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Commission believes that eliminating the
Exchange's discretion to continue the listing of certain companies that
are twelve months late in filing their annual reports will encourage
listed companies to file any late annual reports as quickly as
practicable. This should benefit the public interest and protect
investors by helping to assure that investors receive up to date
financial information about listed companies. Eliminating the
Exchange's discretion to not commence delisting of a company past the
Initial 12 Month Period ensures that companies cannot continue to trade
on the Exchange for extended periods of time without making publicly
available their required annual reports.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\9\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSE-2006-116) is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).
