The United States supported the decision to adopt the CORSIA SARPs based on the understanding that CORSIA is the exclusive market-based measure applying to international aviation, and that CORSIA will ensure fair and reciprocal commercial competition by avoiding a patchwork of country- or regionally-based regulatory measures that are inconsistently applied, bureaucratically costly, and economically damaging. Furthermore, continued U.S. support for CORSIA assumes a high level of participation by other countries, particularly by countries with significant aviation activity, as well as a final CORSIA package that is acceptable to, and implementable by, the United States. Under CORSIA, all ICAO Member States whose airplane operators undertake international flights will have needed to develop an MRV system for CO2 emissions from those international flights starting January 1, 2019. The FAA’s CORSIA MRV Program is intended to be the United States’ MRV system for monitoring, reporting, and verification of U.S. airplane operator CO2 emissions from international flights. Operators that are subject to the applicability of CORSIA will submit their EMPs, ERs, and ER CEFAs electronically.1 Each document uses Microsoft Excelbased templates and can be transmitted via email or uploaded to a web portal. EMPs that are submitted by operators will be used as a collaborative tool between the operator and FAA to 1 CORSIA applies to airplane operators that produce annual CO2 emissions greater than 10,000 tonnes (i.e., 10,000 metric tons) from international flights, excluding emissions from excluded flights. The following activities are excluded CORSIA: —Domestic flights; —Humanitarian, medical, and firefighting operations, including flight(s) preceding or following a humanitarian, medical, or firefighting flight provided such flight(s) were conducted with the same airplane, were required to accomplish the related humanitarian, medical, or firefighting activities or to reposition thereafter the airplane for its next activity; —Operations using an airplane with a maximum certificated take-off mass equal to or less than 5,700 kg; —Operations on behalf of the military.

FAA will retain a copy of the EMP and will share with ICAO a list of operators that submit EMPs. FAA will not submit any specific EMPs from U.S. operators to ICAO. Large operators, i.e., those emitting 500,000 metric tons or more of CO2 per year, will gather data through a ‘‘fuel use monitoring method.’’ Small operators, i.e., those emitting less than 500,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, can use a simplified monitoring method. Annual ERs and optional ER CEFAs that are submitted to FAA by operators and verifiers will be used to document each operators’ international emissions. FAA will use the ERs and ER CEFAs to calculate aggregated emissions data for all U.S. operators. FAA will submit the aggregated emissions data to ICAO to demonstrate U.S. implementation of CORSIA. Respondents: Respondents will be airplane operators subject to the applicability of Annex 16, Volume IV of the Chicago Convention. Since the CORSIA MRV Program was originally launched, FAA received 30 EMPs from participating operators, along with an annual ER from each. Some additional operators could submit an EMP and ER over time based on their international aviation activities. Frequency: An EMP is a one-time submission. An ER, and optional ER CEFA, is an annual submission. Estimated Average Burden per Response: FAA expects that filling and submitting an EMP could take an average of approximately 28.6 hours per operator. FAA expects that for operators using a Fuel Use Monitoring Method, the reporting hour burden could be approximately 47.5 hours per operator, per year. For operators using a simplified Monitoring Method, the reporting hour burden could be approximately 16 hours per operator, per year. Estimated Total Annual Burden: Based on the above, FAA expects that the average annual submission of an ER could take approximately 49.4 hours per operator, per year. For operators using a Fuel Use Monitoring Method, this includes 60 hours per operator, per year for filling and reporting an ER and an additional potential 8 hours for filling and reporting the ER CEFA. For operators using simplified Monitoring Methods, this includes 17.5 hours per operator, per year for filling and reporting an ER and an additional potential 4 hours for filling and reporting the ER CEFA.

The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA–2009–0074. Specifically, petitioners requested an extension of the existing relief from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4), which in part, provides that a train employee may not be required or allowed to remain or go on duty after that employee has initiated an on-duty period each day for 6 consecutive days, unless that employee has had at least 48 hours off duty at the employee’s home terminal. In support of the request, petitioners explained that CN has operated these schedules of 6 consecutive on-duty periods followed by 24 hours off duty successfully since 2002 and that the relief is ‘‘very unlikely to have had any impact on any recent safety trends.’’ Petitioners further state that CN’s recent internal review of human factor-caused accidents has determined that ‘‘the absence of human factors incidents involving persons covered under this waiver demonstrates that continued operation under the waiver has not caused a problem with safety.’’ A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov.

UPRR explains that this suspension would be temporary, and UPRR would later request to ‘‘remove [Centralized Traffic Control (CTC)] limits and replace with [Track Warrant Control (TWC)] limits through the same area.’’ In support of its request, UPRR states that its dispatching software cannot grant track warrants through the subject area, but when they can grant track warrants, UPRR will notify FRA prior to implementation of TWC limits. UPRR requests the suspension of block signals for up to six months from the date of approval.

(CEFA).
    Type of Review: Clearance of a renewal of an information 
collection.
    Background: The CORSIA MRV Program is a voluntary program for 
certain U.S. air carriers and commercial operators (collectively 
referred hereinafter as ``operators'') to submit certain airplane 
CO2 emissions data to the FAA to enable the United States to 
establish uniformity with ICAO Standards And Recommended Practices 
(SARPs) for CORSIA, which were adopted in June 2018, as Annex 16, 
Volume IV to the Chicago Convention. The United States supported the 
decision to adopt the CORSIA SARPs based on the understanding that 
CORSIA is the exclusive market-based measure applying to international 
aviation, and that CORSIA will ensure fair and reciprocal commercial 
competition by avoiding a patchwork of country- or regionally-based 
regulatory measures that are inconsistently applied, bureaucratically 
costly, and economically damaging. Furthermore, continued U.S. support 
for CORSIA assumes a high level of participation by other countries, 
particularly by countries with significant aviation activity, as well 
as a final CORSIA package that is acceptable to, and implementable by, 
the United States.
    Under CORSIA, all ICAO Member States whose airplane operators 
undertake international flights will have needed to develop an MRV 
system for CO2 emissions from those international flights 
starting January 1, 2019. The FAA's CORSIA MRV Program is intended to 
be the United States' MRV system for monitoring, reporting, and 
verification of U.S. airplane operator CO2 emissions from 
international flights.
    Operators that are subject to the applicability of CORSIA will 
submit their EMPs, ERs, and ER CEFAs electronically.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CORSIA applies to airplane operators that produce annual 
CO2 emissions greater than 10,000 tonnes (i.e., 10,000 
metric tons) from international flights, excluding emissions from 
excluded flights. The following activities are excluded CORSIA:
    --Domestic flights;
    --Humanitarian, medical, and firefighting operations, including 
flight(s) preceding or following a humanitarian, medical, or 
firefighting flight provided such flight(s) were conducted with the 
same airplane, were required to accomplish the related humanitarian, 
medical, or firefighting activities or to reposition thereafter the 
airplane for its next activity;
    --Operations using an airplane with a maximum certificated take-
off mass equal to or less than 5,700 kg;
    --Operations on behalf of the military.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Each document uses Microsoft Excel-based templates and can be 
transmitted via email or uploaded to a web portal. EMPs that are 
submitted by operators will be used as a collaborative tool between the 
operator and FAA to document a given operator's chosen fuel use 
monitoring procedures. FAA will retain a copy of the EMP and will share 
with ICAO a list of operators that submit EMPs. FAA will not submit any 
specific EMPs from U.S. operators to ICAO. Large operators, i.e., those 
emitting 500,000 metric tons or more of CO2 per year, will 
gather data through a ``fuel use monitoring method.'' Small operators, 
i.e., those emitting less than 500,000 metric tons of CO2 
per year, can use a simplified monitoring method. Annual ERs and 
optional ER CEFAs that are submitted to FAA by operators and verifiers 
will be used to document each operators' international emissions. FAA 
will use the ERs and ER CEFAs to calculate aggregated emissions data 
for all U.S. operators. FAA will submit the aggregated emissions data 
to ICAO to demonstrate U.S. implementation of CORSIA.
    Respondents: Respondents will be airplane operators subject to the 
applicability of Annex 16, Volume IV of the Chicago Convention. Since 
the CORSIA MRV Program was originally launched, FAA received 30 EMPs 
from participating operators, along with an annual ER from each. Some 
additional operators could submit an EMP and ER over time based on 
their international aviation activities.
    Frequency: An EMP is a one-time submission. An ER, and optional ER 
CEFA, is an annual submission.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: FAA expects that filling and 
submitting an EMP could take an average of approximately 28.6 hours per 
operator. FAA expects that for operators using a Fuel Use Monitoring 
Method, the reporting hour burden could be approximately 47.5 hours per 
operator, per year. For operators using a simplified Monitoring Method, 
the reporting hour burden could be approximately 16 hours per operator, 
per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Based on the above, FAA expects that 
the average annual submission of an ER could take approximately 49.4 
hours per operator, per year. For operators using a Fuel Use Monitoring 
Method, this includes 60 hours per operator, per year for filling and 
reporting an ER and an additional potential 8 hours for filling and 
reporting the ER CEFA. For operators using simplified Monitoring 
Methods, this includes 17.5 hours per operator, per year for filling
