14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30966; Amdt. No. 3598]

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 July 14, 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 July 14, 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;

Minimums and ODP copies may be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Programs
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,

City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125),
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 (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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2012-0784; FRL-9770-4]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
West Virginia; Requirements for Determining General Conformity of
Federal Actions to Applicable State Implementation Plans

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a revision to the
West Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revision
consists of a legislative rule adopted by West Virginia to amend its
prior general conformity rule for the purpose of incorporating
revisions to Federal general conformity requirements established under
rules promulgated by

EPA in July of 2006 and in April of 2010. EPA is approving West
Virginia's SIP revision to amend its general conformity SIP to comply
with recent changes in Federal general conformity requirements. This
rulemaking action is in accordance with the requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on March 25, 2013 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse written comment by February 21, 2013. If
EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that
the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2012-0784 by one of the following methods:

I. General Conformity Requirements and Affect on Air Quality

    The intent of the general conformity requirement is to prevent the
air quality impacts of Federal actions from causing or contributing to
a violation of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) or
interfering with the purpose of a SIP. Under the CAA as amended in
1990, Congress recognized that actions taken by Federal agencies could
affect states' and local agencies' abilities to attain and maintain the
NAAQS. Section 176(c) of the CAA requires Federal agencies to assure
that their actions conform to the applicable SIP for attaining and
maintaining compliance with the NAAQS. General conformity is defined to
apply to NAAQS established pursuant to section 109 of the CAA,
including NAAQS for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide
(SO2). Because certain provisions of section 176(c) of the
CAA apply only to highway and mass transit funding and approval
actions, EPA published two sets of regulations to implement section
176(c) of the CAA--one set for transportation conformity and one set
for general conformity. The Federal General Conformity Requirements
Rule was published in the November 30, 1993 edition of the Federal
Register (58 FR 63214) and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations
at 40 CFR 93.150.
    EPA revised the Federal General Conformity Requirements Rule via a
final rule issued in the April 5, 2006 edition of the Federal Register
(71 FR 17003). EPA had promulgated a new NAAQS July 18, 1997 (62 FR
38652) that established a separate NAAQS for fine particulate matter
smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5). The prior
coarse particulate matter NAAQS promulgated in 1997 pertains to
particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter
(PM10). EPA's 2006 revision to the Federal General
Conformity Requirements Rule added requirements for PM2.5
for the first time, including annual emission limits of
PM2.5 above which covered Federal actions in NAAQS
nonattainment or maintenance areas would be subject to general
conformity applicability.
    On April 5, 2010, EPA revisited the Federal General Conformity
Requirements Rule to clarify the conformity process, authorize
innovative and flexible compliance approaches, remove outdated or
unnecessary requirements, reduce the paperwork burden, provide
transition tools for implementing new standards, address issues raised
by Federal agencies affected by the rules, and provide a better
explanation of conformity regulations and policies. EPA's April 2010
revised rule simplified state SIP requirements for general conformity,
eliminating duplicative general conformity provisions codified at 40
CFR part 93, Subpart B and 40 CFR part 51, Subpart W. Finally, the
April 2010 revision updated the Federal General Conformity Requirements
Rule to reflect changes to governing laws passed by Congress since
EPA's 1993 rule. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) passed by
Congress in 1995 contains a provision eliminating the CAA requirement
for states to adopt general conformity SIPs. As a result of

SAFETEA-LU, EPA's April 2010 rule eliminated the Federal regulatory
requirement for states to adopt and submit general conformity SIPs,
instead making submission of a general conformity SIP a state option.

II. West Virginia's General Conformity SIP Revision

    On June 6, 2012, West Virginia submitted a formal revision to its
SIP. The SIP revision submittal consists of an amendment to West
Virginia's legislative rule (Title 45 of the Consolidated Statute of
Regulations Series 35, entitled ``Determining Conformity of General
Federal Actions to Applicable Implementation Plans'') that establishes
criteria and procedures for use by Federal agencies in determining
whether a planned Federal action conforms to the applicable SIP (also
referred to as ``general conformity.'' The purpose of the SIP revision
is to amend West Virginia's general conformity requirements through a
legislative rule adopted by West Virginia for purposes of incorporating
recent changes made to Federal general conformity requirements, which
are at 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart B (effective July 6, 2010).
    The SIP revision submittal includes a revision of West Virginia's
1995 legislative rule under Title 45, Series 35 of the Code of State
Rules (45CSR35). The revised State rule 45CSR35, now titled
``Determining Conformity of General Federal Actions to Applicable
Implementation Plans (General Conformity)'' with a State effective date
of June 1, 2012, has been updated to incorporate by reference the most
recent Federal general conformity rules at 40 CFR part 93, Subpart B
that were effective June 1, 2011.
    West Virginia's legislative rule has also been updated to slightly
revise several definitions, including ``Applicable implementation
plan'' and ``Applicable SIP.'' Several terms no longer used in 45CSR35
were deleted, including ``Director,'' ``Division of Environmental
Protection,'' ``State Governor,'' ``State and Local Air Agencies,'' and
``State Agency.'' Definitions were added for the terms ``Clean Air
Act'' and ``Secretary.'' The legislative rule amending 45CSR35 also
adds requirements that require a Federal agency to make a determination
that a Federal action conforms to the applicable SIP before the action
is taken. In the event an action would result in emissions that
originate in more than one nonattainment or maintenance area,
conformity must be evaluated for each area separately. Finally, a
conformity determination under 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart B does not
exempt the action from any other requirements of the applicable SIP,
the CAA, or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
    A prior version of West Virginia's general conformity rule
(45CSR35), which became State effective May 1, 1995, was approved by
EPA as part of the West Virginia SIP via a final rule published on
September 5, 1995 (60 FR 46029). West Virginia's June 6, 2012 SIP
revision submittal, which is the subject of this rulemaking action,
supersedes the prior approved West Virginia general conformity SIP.

III. EPA Action

    EPA has reviewed West Virginia's June 6, 2012 SIP revision
submittal and found this revision to be in compliance with section
176(c) of the CAA and with the related requirements of the Federal
General Conformity Requirements Rule, codified at 40 CFR Part 93,
Subpart B. West Virginia's SIP revision serves to reduce the impact of
Federal actions (not otherwise subject to transportation conformity,
which is addressed under a separate provision in the West Virginia
SIP), and will prevent subject Federal actions from causing or
contributing to a new violation of a NAAQS, interfering with attainment
or maintenance of a NAAQS, or otherwise interfering with the West
Virginia SIP.
    West Virginia's June 6, 2012 SIP revision meets the requirements
set forth in section 110 of the CAA with respect to adoption and
submission of SIP revisions. The approval of West Virginia's general
conformity SIP revision will strengthen the West Virginia SIP and will
assist the state in complying with Federal NAAQS.
    Therefore, EPA is approving West Virginia's revision to its general
conformity SIP to comply with the most recent Federal General
Conformity Requirements Rule. EPA is publishing this rule without prior
proposal because it constitutes a noncontroversial amendment and EPA
anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules''
section of today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate
document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if
adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective on March 25,
2013 without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by
February 21, 2013. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this rulemaking action. Any
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note
that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or
section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the
rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using

practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action to approve West Virginia's general conformity rule must
be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by March 25, 2013. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this
action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time
within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to file a comment
in response to the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for this
action published in the proposed rules section of today's Federal
Register, rather than file an immediate petition for judicial review of
this direct final rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action to
approve West Virginia's general conformity SIP revision may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
