Yes. ATC can direct an intercept outside of SV, but they remain responsible for monitoring position (and making deviation notifications) until within SV. 4-1-2, note 3. (Pg 184).
Yes - I saw the note and looked at the reference.
Tomorrow I'll be asking some of the ATC'ers that I work with to explain this to me further. It sounds more like ATC using radar to guide the aircraft onto a 'fictitious' LOC course. From my perspective - if that LOC signal has not been checked out there it can 't be used - period. If TERPS sent a procedure to me with a LOC fix out at 40nm and there was no ESV request attached - it would be rejected and returned for redesign or request the appropriate ESV - and IF it passed then we would give it to them.
