Human Factors; Procedure
Two aircraft requested IFR practice approaches to the airport. Both wanted the RNAV 4L approach with missed approach clearances. There was little sequencing that needed to be done. However according to the flips today the approach plates changed dramatically. I cleared both aircraft to the east side T fix ABCDE and issued an approach clearance. I even referenced the SAIDS approach plate to ensure accuracy. According to the new flips that T fix no longer exists. Later in the day I became aware of this and notified management who had no idea there was changes. In fact no one at the facility had any idea that there was a change. There was also nothing in any briefing items notifying any change. Notify controllers when there are significant changes to instrument approaches.
Approach Controller cleared two aircraft to a 'T' fix on an RNAV procedure only to later discover that the 'T' fix was removed from the approach on a recent procedural change.
