...All fine and dandy; the circling minima on the 10-9X, annotated JAA, includes the higher JAA/ICAO speeds, but the question is on the defined area. If the defined area is increased to ICAO/JAA standards, who does the obstacle clearance survey? It isn’t Jeppesen, as their disclaimer clearly states that they only reproduce data provided by the state (with minima converted). So does the FAA produce defined area obstacle clearance data based on ICAO criteria in addition to that based on TERPS? If not, where does the information come from?
One can examine source data for US procedures that are under development or revision at FAA's ACIFP web site. The "maps" files depict the evaluated circling areas and the critical obstacles (for procedures with circling minima).

I've not seen evidence of FAA using PANS-OPS maneuvering areas for an airport within the U.S.A. So unfortunately, your question remains a mystery.

Best,
