Change 12 - Airport Design

Reschedules the One Engine Inoperative (OEI) implementation date from January 1, 2008, to January 1, 2009. Also requires end-around taxiway projects to be pre-approved by the Office of Airport Safety and Standards, Airport Engineering Division; changes the applicability of Appendix 2, paragraph 3b, to allow the use of these standards to object to objects affecting navigable airspace relative to 14 CFR Part 77; and identifies what Airport Airspace Analysis Survey criteria to use based on current or planned instrument approaches serving the runway ends. 		2008-01-03
