FlightPathOBN: The table you provided is for circling approaches. Minimal obstacle clearance (MOC) for all aircraft is 246 ft for a non-precision approach with FAF.
I understand, but this chart seems to combine the circling approach parameters, so I am wondering if that was a leftover

The VEB ROC is not fixed for the final segment, granted the 246 is a minimum (the infamous 200 foot ROC plus 46 feet of momentary descent, where that surface meets the ground, but the surface tapers to a 500 foot ROC at the FAF as the intermediate segment ROC is 500'.
