14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31513; Amdt. No. 4084]

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 October 24, 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 October 24, 2023.

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

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
    For information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
[email protected] or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:

Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., STB Annex, Bldg 26, Room 217,
Oklahoma City, OK 73099. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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 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 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.

Two-Year Licensing Process Workshop

    Purpose: To solicit comments and recommendations on a two-year
process for licensing hydropower development at non-powered dams and
closed-loop pumped storage projects.

Workshop Agenda

1. Introduction 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ All times are eastern daylight time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1.1 Opening remarks from the Commissioners
    1.2 Introduction of FERC staff and panel members
    1.3 Workshop procedures
2. Background (FERC staff presentation) 12:30 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.
    2.1 Section 6 of the Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013
    2.2 Licensing process steps
    2.3 Common factors that lengthen process times
    2.4 Actions implemented to shorten process times
    2.5 Process times for recently authorized projects
3. Investigating the feasibility of a two-year process (Input solicited
from panel and participants) 12:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
    3.1 Is a two-year process feasible?
    3.2 What pre-filing process steps can be eliminated, shortened, or
combined?
    3.3 What post-filing process steps can be eliminated, shortened, or
combined?
    3.4 In a two-year process, how much time should be allotted to pre-
filing versus post-filing?
    3.5 What, if any, process modifications are needed to account for
mandatory conditions and other agency authorizations (e.g. sections
4(e) and 18 of the FPA, 401 certifications, ESA consultation)? What
about fish and wildlife recommendations made under section 10(j) of the
FPA?
    3.6 Could memorandums of understanding between FERC and federal or
state agencies help expedite processing?
    3.7 Are there economic factors that affect the practicality of a
two-year process?
    3.8 Does the type of project (i.e., non-powered dam versus closed-
loop pumped storage) affect the steps included in a two-year process?
    3.9 Should there be a single standard two-year process or should
developers be allowed to propose unique, project-specific processes?
    3.10 Is a two-year process needed for exemptions from licensing or
are existing procedures adequate for expedited processing of these
projects?
4. Factors and criteria for identifying pilot projects (Input solicited
from panel and participants) 3:00 p.m. to 3:55 p.m.
    4.1 What project design or siting criteria should be met to be
eligible to use a two-year process? Would the same criteria apply to
projects at non-powered dams and closed-loop pumped storage projects?

Airplanes)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to the products listed above. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    Prompted by a reported in-service event, EASA issued AD 2009-
0084 to prevent unwanted movement of pilot- or co-pilot seat in the
horizontal direction which is considered as potentially unsafe,
especially during the takeoff phase when the speed of the aeroplane
is greater than 100 knots and until landing gear retraction.

* * * * *
Uncommanded movement of the pilot and co-pilot seats during takeoff or
landing could interfere with the operation of the airplane and, as a
result, could cause loss of control of the airplane. We are issuing
this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 26, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of April
26, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 2010 (75
FR 74665), and proposed to supersede AD 2009-11-09, Amendment 39-15919
(74 FR 25399, May 28, 2009). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Prompted by a reported in-service event, EASA issued AD 2009-
0084 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2009-11-09] to prevent unwanted
movement of pilot- or co-pilot seat in the horizontal direction
which is considered as potentially unsafe, especially during the
takeoff phase when the speed of the aeroplane is greater than 100
knots and until landing gear retraction.
    AD 2009-0084 required the deactivation of the electrical power
of SOGERMA pilot seats P/N 2510112 series and co-pilot seats P/N
2510113 series. Optional intermediate actions were also provided by
AD 2009-0084 to allow partial or full restoration of seat adjustment
functionality.
    Since AD 2009-0084 was issued, a permanent solution has been
developed that terminates the de-activation requirement and
invalidates the intermediate actions.
    Consequently, this AD retains requirements of EASA AD 2009-0084,
which is superseded, and requires implementing the terminating
action. In addition, this AD prohibits the (re)installation of
unmodified pilot- and co-pilot seats on any aeroplane that has been
modified in accordance with the requirements of this AD.

Uncommanded movement of the pilot and co-pilot seats during takeoff or
landing could interfere with the operation of the airplane and, as a
result, could cause loss of control of the airplane. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Since issuance of the NPRM, Airbus has issued Mandatory Service
Bulletin A310-25-2205, Revision 01, dated November 19, 2010. This
revision does not require any additional work. The actions described in
this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI. We have updated this final rule to refer to
Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-25-2205, Revision 01, dated
November 19, 2010. We added a new paragraph (n) of this AD to provide
credit for doing actions before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-25-2205, dated
August 31, 2009, for Airbus Model A310 series airplanes.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described
previously.

We determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden
on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD affects
about 132 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2009-11-09 and retained in this
AD take about 2 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the
currently required actions is $170 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $5,000 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the AD on U.S.
operators to be $704,880, or $5,340 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.
