Asterisk symbol on approach plate categories?

"Never tell me the odds!"
Probably a stupid question but.....on the KOTH approach plate in the categories column under the profile view there is an asterisk sign next to one of the categories. http://cloudfront.foreflight.com/plates/1710/00929IL4.PDF

What does the asterisk symbol signify? I know next to the tower freq this means part time operation. Is this an approach that is only part time? I also see the climb gradient note for the missed approach but why then have two separate ILS with different MDA/DH?

The asterisk refers back to the asterisk in the notes about the climb gradient (248 instead of 200 FPNM). It just means what you might think it means: if your aircraft has the capability to meet the higher minimum climb (IOW, not hit anything if you go missed), you can take advantage of lower minimums.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the clarification.
