I obtained an AMES rating in 1995, no instrument approaches demonstrated. I'd already held ATP AMEL since 1991. The AMES rating went on my certificate as "Commercial Privileges: Airplane Multiengine Sea".

Is what you refer to a post-August 4th, 1997 change, a guess, wishful thinking, or a DPE/Inspector/FSDO's discretion thing??

Presumably, you really mean: it will add to your ATP certificate as Commercial Privileges, you do not have to demonstrate instrument approaches, unless you want your AMES rating at the ATP level.
