DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31270; Amdt. No. 3868]

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 September 9, 2019. 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 September 9, 2019.

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 Navigation Products, 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

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg. 29 Room 104, Oklahoma
City, OK 73169. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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.

requesting nominations for voting and/or nonvoting consumer
representatives to serve on advisory committees and/or panels for which
vacancies currently exist or are expected to occur in the near future.
Nominees recommended to serve as a voting or nonvoting consumer
representative may be self-nominated or may be nominated by a consumer
organization.
    FDA seeks to include the views of women and men, members of all
racial and ethnic groups, and individuals with and without disabilities
on its advisory committees and, therefore, encourages nominations of
appropriately qualified candidates from these groups.

DATES: Any consumer organization interested in participating in the
selection of an appropriate voting or nonvoting member to represent
consumer interests on an FDA advisory committee or panel may send a
letter or email stating that interest to FDA (see ADDRESSES) by August
29, 2018, for vacancies listed in this notice. Concurrently, nomination
materials for prospective candidates should be sent to FDA (see
ADDRESSES) by August 29, 2018. Nominations will be accepted for current
vacancies and for those that will or may occur through September 30,
2018.

ADDRESSES: All statements of interest from consumer organizations
interested in participating in the selection process and consumer
representative nominations should be submitted electronically to
[email protected], by mail to Advisory Committee Oversight
and Management Staff, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 32, Rm. 5103,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennie Orenstein, Grants Policy Branch

Chief, FIMA, FEMA,<PHONE_NUMBER>. You may contact the Records
Management Division for copies of the proposed collection of
information at email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulations implementing property
acquisition and relocation for open space are codified at 44 CFR part
80. These regulations govern property acquisitions for the creation of
open space under FEMA's three hazard mitigation assistance (HMA) grant
programs: the Pre-Disaster Mitigation program (PDM) and Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), which are authorized under the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 5121-5207; and the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA)
authorized under the National Flood Insurance Act (NFIA) of 1968, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. Acquisition and relocation of property
for open space use is one of the most common mitigation activities and
is an eligible activity type authorized for Federal grant funds under
PDM, HMGP, and FMA. These programs require all properties acquired with
FEMA funds to be deed restricted and maintained as open space in
perpetuity. This ensures that no future risks from hazards occur to
life or structures on that property, and no future disaster assistance
or insurance payments are made as a result of damages to that property.
    This reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved
information collection for which approval has expired is necessary to
establish uniform requirements for State, Tribal and local
implementation of acquisition activities, and to enforce open space
maintenance and post-award monitoring requirements for properties
acquired with FEMA mitigation grant funds. The original collection had
one form. This collection includes seven additional forms to identify
an applicant's identity and address close-out and post-award monitoring
requirements and allow grants to be made directly to property owners.
This collection consists of a total of eight forms.
    First, the reinstatement updates the existing form in the
collection, 086-0-31, Statement of Voluntary Participation for
Acquisition of Property for Purpose of Open Space, to use appropriate
terminology references found in 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards.
    Second, the collection adds Declaration and Release
(Declaraci[oacute]n Y Autorizaci[oacute]n), 009-0-3 (English) and 009-
0-4 (Spanish) (O.M.B. No. 1660-0002) to determine eligibility and
verify an applicant's identity and to prevent a duplication of
benefits. Third, Subrecipients are required to submit a completed copy
of the Real Property Status Report, SF-429 (O.M.B. No. 4040-0016), with
closeout documentation for all real property purchased with grant
funds. Fourth, the collection adds forms to address post-award
monitoring requirements. When the State, Tribe or local community,
i.e., the recipient or subrecipient, acquires the property from the
property owner, they must regularly monitor and report to FEMA that the
property is in compliance with the open space deed restrictions and
grant terms. Every three years the subrecipient, through the recipient,
must submit to FEMA a report certifying that the subrecipient has
inspected the property within the month preceding the report and that
the property continues to be maintained consistent with open space
requirements. FEMA is updating the collection to include three two
post-award monitoring forms (086-0-35a (Pages 10-11)), NFIP Repetitive
Loss Update Worksheet (O.M.B No. 1660-0022), and SF-429, Real Property
Status Report (O.M.B. No. 4040-0016).
    Finally, this update allows FEMA to obtain information directly
from property owners to enable FEMA to determine a property owner's
eligibility for, and interest in, receiving a direct grant. Following
the award, the information enables FEMA to monitor and enforce the
grant terms to ensure the property is maintained consistent with the
appropriate land use or open space deed restrictions. The NFIA, 42
U.S.C. 4104c, authorizes the Director of FEMA to carry out a mitigation
assistance program (FMA) that provides financial assistance in the form
of grants to States, Tribes, and communities, and in the form of direct
grants to property owners, using amounts made available from the
National Flood Insurance Fund for planning and carrying out mitigation
activities designed to reduce flood damages to structures with flood
insurance under 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. In addition to the FMA grants
FEMA makes available to states and local governments, FEMA is
exercising its statutory authority under 42 U.S.C. 4104c to provide
direct grants to property owners for acquisition and demolition of
severe repetitive loss structures to reduce future flood damages and
flood insurance payments. These direct grants to property owners,
entitled Severe Risk Property Acquisition (SRPA) grants, enable
property owners to carry out mitigation activities, i.e., acquisition,
that reduce flood damage to individual structures for which two or more
claim payments for losses have been made under National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) coverage that equal or exceed the value of the insured
structure.
    With a SRPA grant, property owners have the option to retain their
property after demolition or to voluntarily sell their property to a
local government or qualifying organization. If the property owner
retains the land after demolition, the property must be deed restricted
and maintained consistent with sound land management practices. This
ensures a reduction in flood damages on that property, limits future
disaster assistance provided, and ideally, eliminates or decreases the
insurance payments made as a result of damages to that property. If the
property owner chooses to sell the property, the local government or
qualifying organization must deed restrict the land in perpetuity for
compatible uses of open space. To implement SRPA grants, FEMA needs to
collect information associated with SRPA grants from property owners to
process applications and ensure compliance with the terms and
conditions of the grants and applicable law and regulations. FEMA is
revising the collection to add three new forms for that purpose (086-0-
31a, Intent to Participate, 086-0-31b, Notice of Voluntary Interest and
Property Survey; 086-0-31c, Severe Risk Property Acquisition Mitigation
Offer).

Collection of Information

    Title: Property Acquisition and Relocation for Open Space.
    Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved information collection for which approval has

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-493-000]

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Woodhull Storage Pool

Boundary Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will

discuss the environmental impacts of the proposed Woodhull Storage Pool

Boundary Project (Project) involving Dominion Transmission, Inc.'s

(Dominion) extension of the certificated boundary of the Woodhull

Natural Gas Storage Pool in Steuben County, New York. The EA will be

used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine

whether the

project is in the public convenience and necessity.

    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the

Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested

agencies on the Project Amendment. Your input will help the Commission

staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note

that the scoping period will close on July 29, 2011.

    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental

mailing list for the Project Amendment. State and local government

representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this project

and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.

    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted

by a Dominion representative about the acquisition or modification of

an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed

facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable

agreement. However, if the Project is approved by the Commission, that

approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if

easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, Dominion could

initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be

determined in accordance with state or federal law.

    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural

Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for

viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet

addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of

eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Dominion is proposing to extend the perimeter of its Woodhull

Natural Gas Storage Pool (Pool) existing boundary by an additional

2,000 feet, impacting 5,472.27 acres below ground surface (bgs).

Located in the Oriskany Sandstone geologic formation 3,995 feet bgs and

capped by Marcellus Shale and Onondaga Limestone Formations 30 feet

above, Dominion contends that extending the perimeter would protect the

Pool from encroachment from third parties drilling into the Marcellus

Shale and potentially jeopardizing the sealing/trapping geology of the

natural gas storage zone.

Land Requirements

    No facilities would be constructed; therefore there would be no

impact on the surface. Dominion's proposal would only enlarge the

Pool's current boundary by 2,000 feet creating a buffer zone around the

Pool.

    The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in

Appendix 1.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the

Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could

result from the issuance or amendment of a Certificate of Public

Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us \1\ to discover and

address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is

referred to as ``scoping''. The main goal of the scoping process is to

focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By

this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of

the issues to be addressed in the EA. All comments received will be

considered during the preparation of the EA.

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

    \1\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff

of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.

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

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of

the storage field extension. We will also evaluate possible

alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project.

    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.

The EA will be placed in the public record, and depending on the

comments received during the scoping process, may be published and

distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA

is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before

we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments

are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public

Participation section beginning on page 4.

    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or

special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally

cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may

choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to

their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating

agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments

provided under the Public Participation section of this notice.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific

comments or concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on

the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and

measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific

your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your

comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so

that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before July 29,

2011.

    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local

government representatives and agencies; elected officials;

environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other

interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also

includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's

regulations) who are owners of property interests and are within the

area of the proposed expansion of a storage field, and anyone who

submits comments on the project. We will update the environmental

mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the

information related to this environmental review to

all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in

and/or potentially affected by the proposed project.

    If the EA is published for distribution, copies will be sent to the

environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would

prefer to receive a paper copy of the document or would like to remove

your name from the mailing list, please return the attached Information

Request (Appendix 1).

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to participating in the EA scoping process, you may

want to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the

Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the

process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard

by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.

An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a

request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are

included in the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the

Commission's Web site.

    Additional information about the project is available from the

Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the

on the eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket

texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,

    In addition, the Commission now offers a free service called

eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances

and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time

you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with

notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to

the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.

    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the

Commission's calendar located at http://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

    Dated: June 30, 2011.
