Aircraft X was on the ground at requesting an IFR clearance to; I cleared them as filed. According to a memo aircraft in a non-radar environment must be cleared to a fix depicted on the radar scope or overhead chart. [Fix] is not on the chart and I was too busy to amend the clearance.This memo handcuffs our ability to control traffic in a non-radar environment. All of our airports except two are outside of radar coverage. This rule is less safe; less expeditious; and less orderly. They are taking rules from various parts of the Federal Aviation Administration Handbook (FAAH) 7110.65 and inventing new ones.
ZLC ARTCC Controller reported their facility has implemented rules in addition to the Federal Aviation Administration Handbook (FAAH) 7110.65 regarding issuing IFR clearances to departing aircraft.
