Being 6.7% the gradient for obstacles, looks like it's basically the same as the previous chart, only this one will require a gradient above standard for obstacle clearance and they're telling you these "categorised" PDG's (they're both PDGs, aren't they?)
Here is the Jepp chart. It doesn't state whether the gradients are for ATC or obstacles. No doubt that obstacles would be a component at Bogota, but the gradient may be steeper than required for obstacles in order to satisfy ATC requirements. With all engines operating, the stated gradients must be complied with. OEI is a different matter. Bogota requires an OEI track that deviates sufficiently from this track that a U.S. operator I am familiar with requires a declaration of emergency.
