Default Why publish a plate for an OTS approach?

I don't think that either Jepp or NACO has the authority to do modify an
approach plate.

In a previous article, "Bob Gardner" said:
An instrument approach is, in effect, an act of Congress. Although they do
it through obscure references to Part 97, each approach must be published
in
the Code of Federal Regulations and, as you might imagine, it literally
takes an act of Congress to revoke one. Jepp and NACO probably have some
kind of contractual obligation to publish all existing approaches.


You'd think that it would be a small change of procedure and a huge
improvement in safety if they would at least overprint the procedure with
"NAVAID OTS" or something.
