Procedures used to be designed by the Region, but those offices were shut
down and the whole works moved to either Sacramento or Oke City, I can't
remember which. I learned a lot when I was able to pick up the phone and
talk to the designer of an approach I had questions about...but that is no
longer the case. To my knowledge, procedures were never designed by TRACONS.

That tower is actually much CLOSER to the FAC on the GPS approach.

Why not call up the local tracon, ask to speak to the procedures guru,
and find out from somebody who is in a position to know for sure?
