I can't find anything in the Federal Register. Here is the most recent guidance I can find on changes to TIPH:
http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraff.../N7110.456.pdf
These changes were effective yesterday.
An older version of 7110.65R without the new revisions can be found here:
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...a/7110.65R.pdf
Below is the relevant section is 3.9.4, which I have marked up to incorporate the new language.
3−9−4. TAXI INTO POSITION AND HOLD (TIPH)
The intent of TIPH is to position aircraft for an imminent departure. Authorize an aircraft to taxi into position and hold, except as restricted in subparagraph g, when takeoff clearance cannot be issued because of traffic. Issue traffic information to any aircraft so authorized. Traffic information may be omitted when traffic is another aircraft which has landed on or is taking off the same runway and is clearly visible to the holding aircraft. Do not use conditional phrases such as ?behind landing traffic? or ?after the departing aircraft.?
b. USN NOT APPLICABLE. First state the runway number followed by the taxi into position clearance when more than one runway is active.
PHRASEOLOGY−
RUNWAY (number), POSITION AND HOLD.
Or, when only one runway is active:
POSITION AND HOLD.
c. Do not issue a clearance to an aircraft requesting a full-stop, touch-and-go, stop-and-go, option, or unrestricted low approach on the same runway with an aircraft that is holding in position, taxiing into position or has been cleared to taxi into position and hold until the aircraft in position starts takeoff roll. Do not clear an aircraft to TIPH if an aircraft has been cleared to land, touch-and-go, stop-and-go, option, or unrestricted low approach on the same runway.
PHRASEOLOGY ?
?RUNWAY (number), CONTINUE, TRAFFIC HOLDING IN POSITION.? or, (when only one runway is active): ?CONTINUE, TRAFFIC HOLDING IN POSITION.?
EXAMPLE ?
?American 528, runway two three, continue, traffic holding in position.? or, (when only one runway is active): ?American 528, continue, traffic holding in position.?
(1) Landing clearance need not be withheld if the safety logic system is operating in the full core alert runway configuration.
(2) Facilities without the safety logic system and facilities with the safety logic system in limited configuration must withhold landing clearance until the aircraft in position starts takeoff roll.
d. When an aircraft is authorized to taxi into position and hold, inform it of the closest traffic requesting a full-stop, touch-and-go, stop-and-go, option, or unrestricted low approach to the same runway.USAF. When an aircraft is authorized to taxi into takeoff position to hold, inform it of the closest traffic within 6 miles on final approach to the same runway. If the approaching aircraft is on a different frequency, inform it of the aircraft taxiing into position.
e. USAF. When an aircraft is authorized to taxi into takeoff position to hold, inform it of the closest traffic within 6 miles on final approach to the same runway. If the approaching aircraft is on a different frequency, inform it of the aircraft taxiing into position.
f. Do not authorize an aircraft to taxi into position and hold when the departure point is not visible from the tower, unless the aircraft?s position can be verified by ASDE or the runway is used for departures only.
g. An aircraft may be authorized to taxi into position and hold at an intersection between sunset and sunrise. The procedure must be approved by the appropriate Director, Terminal Operations (service area office), and by the Director, Terminal Safety and Operations Support, and must be contained in a facility directive. The following conditions must apply:
(1) The runway must be used as a departure-only runway.
(2) Only one aircraft at a time is permitted to taxi into position and hold on the same runway.
(3) Document on FAA Form 7230-4, Daily Record of Facility Operation, the following:
?TIPH at INT of RWY (number) and TWY (name) IN EFFECT? when using runway as a departure-only runway. ?TIPH at INT of RWY (number) and TWY (name) SUSPENDED? when runway is not used as a departure-only runway.
h. USN. Do not authorize an aircraft to taxi into position and hold at any time when the intersection is not visible from the tower.
i. Do not authorize aircraft to simultaneously taxi into position and hold on the same runway, between sunrise and sunset, unless the local assist/local monitor position is staffed.
j. USAF/USN. When issuing additional instructions or information to an aircraft holding in takeoff position, include instructions to continue holding or taxi off the runway, unless it is cleared for takeoff.
PHRASEOLOGY−
CONTINUE HOLDING,
or
TAXI OFF THE RUNWAY.
k. When aircraft are authorized to taxi into position and hold on runways that intersect, traffic must be exchanged between that aircraft and the aircraft that is authorized to position and hold, depart, or arrive to the intersecting runway(s).
EXAMPLE ?
?United Five, runway four, position and hold, traffic holding runway three-one.?
?Delta One, runway three-one, position and hold, traffic holding runway four.?
or, when issuing traffic information to an arrival aircraft and an aircraft that is holding on runway(s) that intersect(s):
?Delta One, runway four, position and hold, traffic landing runway three-one.?
?United Five, runway three-one, cleared to land. Traffic holding in position runway four.?
or, when issuing traffic information to a departing aircraft and an aircraft that is holding on runway(s) that intersect(s):
?Delta One, runway three-one, position and hold, traffic departing runway four.?
?United Five, runway four, cleared for takeoff, traffic holding runway three-one.?
l. When a local controller delivers or amends an ATC clearance to an aircraft waiting departure and that aircraft is holding short of a runway or is holding in position on a runway, an additional clearance shall be issued to prevent the possibility of the aircraft inadvertently taxiing onto the runway and/or beginning takeoff roll. In such cases, append one of the following ATC instructions as appropriate:
1. HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY, or
2. HOLD IN POSITION.
m. USAF/USN. When issuing additional instructions or information to an ircraft holding in takeoff position, include instructions to continue holding or taxi off the runway, unless it is cleared for takeoff.
PHRASEOLOGY−
CONTINUE HOLDING,
or
TAXI OFF THE RUNWAY.
No more position and hold
