This part of the same article deals with the Missed Approach!

FAR 121.195 which specifies maximum landing weight requirements, refers to FAR25 aircraft for approach climb gradient requirements. For a 3 engine aircraft the required engine failure climb gradient at maximum landing weight is 2.4%. This gradient is the equivalent to 145 feet per nautical mile which is well below the minimum TERPS required climb gradient of 200 feet per nautical mile and the TERPS obstruction clearance plane of 152 feet per nautical mile. When you include the acceleration/clean up segment of an engine failure missed approach, the resulting actual climb gradient is even lower. From this information you can see that you are not guaranteed obstruction clearance on a TERPS procedure during and engine failure missed approach!
