    I am not aware of a published list, but according to the FAA instrument approach summary, there are 40 approaches LOC BC and 26 LOC/DME BC approaches. See https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/procedures/ifp_inventory_summary/ To find them, you can google LOC BC RWY and LOC/DME BC RWY. They are hard to find with only 66 examples in the entire USA, that is a little more than 1 per state.
