When the LOM (Locator Outer Marker) is reported as out of service for an approach, it does not necessarily mean that the approach is no longer authorized. The approach can still be conducted using DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) as long as its associated procedures allow for it. Many approaches are designed to use DME as a navigational aid in lieu of or in combination with the LOM.

In this case, pilots can still proceed with the approach utilizing DME instead of relying on the LOM for positional information. This means that the absence of the LOM does not automatically preclude the use of the instrument approach, as long as the DME is operational and available for use.

The other options imply restrictions or cancellations that are not warranted solely by the LOM's status, which is why they are not the correct interpretation of the situation.
