Amendment of Authority Citation for Standard Instrument 
Procedures

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

[[Page 1512]]

SUMMARY: To update and clarify the Administrator's rulemaking authority 
to be consistent with other parts of its regulations, the FAA is 
amending the authority citation for part 97.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 13, 2016.

ADDRESSES: For 14 CFR part 97 rulemaking actions: All Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and Takeoff Minimums and 
Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) are available online at https://nfdc.faa.gov. 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 information 
on the availability of this information at the National Archives and 
Records Administration (NARA), call (202) 741-6030, or go to http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Frenzel, Regulations Division, 
Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 
Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591, telephone: (202) 267-
3073.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 97 amends the authority citation for part 97; Standard Instrument 
Procedures, by adding an additional citation, 49 U.S.C. 106(f), at the 
beginning of the authority citation string. This action updates and 
clarifies the Administrator's rulemaking authority to be consistent 
with other parts of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations.
    This is an administrative change reflecting clarification of 
rulemaking authority, therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. Also, as provided in 5 U.S.C. 553(d), 
this rule is being published with an effective date of less than 30 
days in order to keep current standard instrument approach procedures 
(SIAPs) previously published in the Federal Register with later 
effective dates, and other SIAPs soon to be published.
    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, is 
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative 
comments. 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. Since this is a routine matter 
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described 
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103, sovereignty and use 
of airspace and Subpart iii, section 44701, general requirements. Under 
these sections, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to 
regulate the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace; to 
govern the flight, navigation, protection, and identification of 
aircraft for the protection of persons and property on the ground, and 
for the efficient use of the navigable airspace (49 U.S.C. 40103(b)), 
and to promote safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by 
prescribing regulations and minimum standards for other practices, 
methods, and procedures necessary for safety in air commerce and 
national security (49 U.S.C. 44701(a)(5)). This regulation is within 
the scope of that authority as it further describes the authority of 
the FAA Administrator for part 97 rulemaking.
