14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30984; Amdt. No. 3614]

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 revokes 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 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 November 17, 2014. 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 November 17, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

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 (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    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. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding 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 as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-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, 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 which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    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 these 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-93435; File No. SR-MSRB-2021-06]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule
Change To Further Extend the Regulatory Relief and Permit Dealers To
Conduct Office Inspections Remotely Until June 30, 2022, Pursuant to
MSRB Rule G-27, on Supervision

October 27, 2021.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'' or ``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice
is hereby given that on October 26, 2021 the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board (``MSRB'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared
by the MSRB. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The MSRB filed with the Commission a proposed rule change to amend
Supplementary Material .01, Temporary Relief for Completing Office
Inspections, of MSRB Rule G-27, on supervision, to further extend the
regulatory relief and permit brokers, dealers and municipal securities
dealers (collectively, ``dealers'') to conduct office inspections, due
to be completed during calendar year 2022, remotely until June 30, 2022
(the ``proposed rule change'').
    The MSRB has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a
``noncontroversial'' rule change under Section 19(b)(3)(A) \3\ of the
Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \4\ thereunder, which renders the proposal
effective upon receipt of this filing by the Commission. The

MSRB proposes an operative date of January 1, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the MSRB's
website at www.msrb.org/Rules-and-Interpretations/SEC-Filings/2021-Filings.aspx, at the MSRB's principal office, and at the Commission's
Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the MSRB included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The MSRB has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections
A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The MSRB continues to closely monitor the impact on municipal
market participants resulting from the coronavirus disease (``COVID-
19'') pandemic. In light of the operational challenges and disruptions
to normal business functions as a result of the pandemic, the MSRB
previously filed a proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness
with the SEC in April 2020 \5\ and a second proposed rule change in
December 2020 \6\ (``April relief'' and ``December relief''). In
connection with the April relief, the MSRB provided additional time for
dealers to complete certain supervisory obligations, including, among
other things, that office inspections due to be conducted during
calendar year 2020 could be conducted by March 31, 2021, but with the
expectation that dealers would conduct their inspections on-site. The
December relief allowed dealers to conduct their office inspections
remotely that were due to be completed by March 31, 2021, for calendar
year 2020 and those for calendar year 2021, subject to certain
conditions being met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange Act Release No. 88694 (April 20, 2020), 85 FR
23088 (April 24, 2020) (File No. SR-MSRB-2020-01).
    \6\ See Exchange Act Release No. 90621 (December 9, 2020), 85 FR
81254 (December 15, 2020) (File No. SR-MSRB-2020-09).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Through stakeholder engagement, the MSRB has learned that dealers
have delayed their return to office plans due to the continued pandemic
and are considering or have implemented hybrid work arrangements
dependent on functions and regulatory requirements. To that end, in
order to address ongoing industry-wide concerns regarding having to
conduct in-person office inspections while safety concerns related to
the pandemic persist \7\ and to align with pandemic-related regulatory
relief provided by FINRA,\8\ the MSRB is proposing amendments to
Supplementary Material .01 of MSRB Rule G-27. The proposed amendments
to Supplementary Material .01 of MSRB Rule G-27 would allow dealers to
satisfy their office inspection obligations by permitting dealers to
conduct calendar year 2022 office inspections remotely until June 30,
2022, without the need to conduct an on-site visit to such office or
location.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(``CDC''), What You Need to Know about Variants (stating, in part,
that ``the Delta variant causes more infections and spreads faster
than earlier forms of the virus that causes COVID-19'') available at
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/variant.html
(updated September 3, 2021).
    \8\ On September 13, 2021, FINRA made a filing with the SEC for
immediate effectiveness, noting that while some firms have taken
affirmative steps to develop and implement phased-in office re-entry
plans based on local conditions, there are many other firms that
have not. See Release No. 34-93002 (September 15, 2021), 86 FR 52508
(September 21, 2021) (File No. SR-FINRA-2021-023).
    \9\ As previously noted, a temporary location established in
response to the implementation of a business continuity plan is not
deemed an office for purposes of complying with the office
inspection obligations, under MSRB Rule G-27. See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The conditions required to be met for dealers to avail themselves
of the option to conduct office inspections remotely remain unchanged;
however, technical amendments are being proposed to paragraphs (b) and
(d) to reflect the additional extension of time under the proposed rule
change. Pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (d) of Supplementary Material
.01 of MSRB Rule G-27, for dealers that elect to conduct their office
inspections remotely, such dealers must (i) amend or supplement their
written supervisory procedures as appropriate to provide for remote
inspections that are reasonably designed to assist in detecting and
preventing violations of, and achieving compliance with, applicable
securities laws and regulations, and with applicable Board rules; (ii)
use remote office inspections as part of an effective supervisory
system, which would include the ongoing review of activities and
functions occurring at all offices and locations; and (iii) make and
maintain the required records related to remote office inspections.
    The regulatory relief provided for under the proposed rule change
will automatically sunset on June 30, 2022. During this time, the MSRB
will continue to monitor the effectiveness of remote office inspections
on dealers' overall supervisory systems and will consider more long-
term regulatory initiatives that align with and promote the evolving
ways dealers are doing business and supervising the activities of the
dealer and its associated persons.
2. Statutory Basis
    The MSRB believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Exchange Act,\10\ which provides that the
MSRB's rules shall:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2)(C).

    be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect
to, and facilitating transactions in municipal securities and
municipal financial products, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market in municipal securities and
municipal financial products, and, in general, to protect investors,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
municipal entities, obligated persons, and the public interest.

    The proposed rule change is designed to provide dealers additional
time to comply with certain obligations under MSRB rules for a
temporary period of time; it does not relieve dealers from compliance
with their core regulatory obligations to establish and maintain a
system to supervise the activities of each of its associated persons
that is reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable rules
and regulations, and with applicable MSRB rules, which directly serve
to protect investors, municipal entities, obligated persons, and the
public interest. The MSRB believes extending the relief and affording
dealers the option to conduct remote inspections in calendar year 2022,
until June 30, 2022, is a prudent regulatory approach while continuing
to serve the important investor protection objectives of the inspection
requirements under these unique circumstances.
    In a time when faced with unique challenges resulting from the
sustained pandemic, the proposed rule change will afford dealers the
ability to safeguard the health and safety of their personnel and to
more effectively allocate resources to serve and promote the protection
of investors, municipal entities, obligated persons and the public
interest. In addition, the

proposed rule change will also alleviate some of the operational
challenges dealers may be experiencing, which will allow them to more
effectively allocate resources to the operations that facilitate
transactions in municipal securities and municipal financial products,
to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market in municipal securities and municipal financial products.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act requires that MSRB rules be
designed not to impose any burden on competition that is not necessary
or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\11\ In fact,
the MSRB does not believe the proposed rule change will have any burden
on competition because the proposed rule change treats all dealers
equally in that all dealers have the option to elect to conduct remote
inspections remotely through June 30, 2022. The goal of the proposed
rule change is to grant additional time for dealers to meet their
office inspection obligations, under Supplementary Material .01 of Rule
G-27, while also determining how to best implement their return to
office plans in a safe and effective manner during the exigent
circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. The temporary relief afforded
does not alter dealers underlying obligations under the rule.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \13\ thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of
the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.
