Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the implementation of the noise compatibility program nor a determination that all measures covered by the NCP are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. Where federal funding is sought, requests must be submitted to the FAA New York Airports District Office at 1 Aviation Plaza, Room 111, Jamaica, New York 11434. JFK submitted the noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during the noise compatibility planning study to the FAA and the FAA determined that the NEMs for JFK were in compliance with applicable requirements under 14 CFR 150, effective May 19, 2017 (Noise Exposure Map Notice for John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City, New York, 82 FR 24770– 24771, May 30, 2017). The FAA formally received the NCP based on the accepted NEMs for JFK on September 7, 2022. The airport operator requested that the FAA review the submitted material and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as an NCP. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days with the exception of noise abatement procedures, was initiated on September 16, 2022. Notice of the intent to review the NCP was published in the Federal Register on September 21, 2022 (Notice of Receipt and Request for Review of Noise Compatibility Program, 87 FR 57748, September 21, 2022). That Federal Register Notice also announced the start of a 60-day period of public review for the NCP documentation. The FAA received no comments from interested parties during the public review period. The JFK proposed NCP is comprised of actions designed for phased implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions within the next one to five years. It was requested that the FAA evaluate and approve this material as a noise compatibility program as described in 49 U.S.C. 47504. The FAA began its review of the program on September 16, 2022 and was required by a provision of 49 U.S.C. 47504 to approve or disapprove the program within 180 days, other than the use of new or modified flight procedures for noise control in accordance with 14 CFR part 150.35(a). Failure to approve or disapprove such program within the 180-day period shall be deemed an approval of such program. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Mar 17, 2023 Jkt 259001 The submitted program contained 22 proposed measures to minimize impacts of aviation noise on and off the airport. The FAA completed its review and determined that the procedural and substantive requirements of the 49 U.S.C. 47504 and 14 CFR part 150 were satisfied. A Record of Approval for the overall program was issued by the FAA effective March 14, 2023. The specific program elements and their individual determinations are as follows: Noise Abatement (NA) Measure 1: Implement ‘‘Tighten SKORR’’ Departure Procedure—Approved as Voluntary. NA Measure 2: Turn Runway 22L and 22R Departures to Heading 240 at Night—Approved as Voluntary. NA Measure 3: Reduce Runway 31L Intersection Departures at Night— Approved as Voluntary. NA Measure 4: Combine ‘‘Tighten SKORR’’ Departure Procedure with Reduce Runway 31L Intersection Departures at Night—Approved as Voluntary. NA Measure 5: Implement Noise Abatement Departure Profiles on a Voluntary Basis for Each Runway End— Disapproved for Purposes of Part 150. NA Measure 6: Implement Nighttime Optimized Profile Descent Procedures— Disapproved for Purposes of Part 150. NA Measure 7: Continue Existing Mandatory Departure Noise Limit and $250 Penalty—No Action. Land Use (LU) Measure 1: SoundInsulate Eligible Dwelling Units— Approved. LU Measure 2: Sound-Insulate Eligible Non-Residential Noise-Sensitive Structures—Approved. LU Measure 3: Include Aircraft Noise in Real Estate Disclosures—Approved. Program Management (PM) Measure 1: Maintain Noise Office—Approved. PM Measure 2: Maintain Noise and Operations Management System— Approved. PM Measure 3: Maintain Public Flight Tracking Portal—Approved. PM Measure 4: Maintain Noise Complaint Management System— Approved. PM Measure 5: Maintain Noise Office website—Approved. PM Measure 6: Continue Community Outreach Activities—Approved. PM Measure 7: Establish and Manage a Fly Quiet Program—Approved as Voluntary. PM Measure 8: Make Aircraft Noise Contours Available in a Geographic Information System (GIS)—Approved. PM Measure 9: Update the Noise Exposure Map—Approved. PM Measure 10: Update the Noise Compatibility Program—Approved. PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16711 PM Measure 11: Post Monthly ColorCoded DNL Values on Port Authority website—Approved.

Under URS, all forms described in the current ICR, except OP–1(MX), are folded into Form MCSA–1. Information collection activities associated with the OP–1 series of forms are covered under a different ICR, titled ‘‘Licensing Applications for Motor Carrier Operating Authority,’’ OMB Control No. 2126–0016. Form MCSA–1 requests information to identify the applicant, the nature and scope of its proposed operations, safetyrelated details, and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in U.S. operations. FMCSA and the States use registration information collected via Form MCSA– 1 to track motor carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and other entities they regulate. Registering motor carriers is essential to being able to identify carriers so that their safety performance can be tracked and evaluated. The data make it possible to link individual trucks to the responsible motor carrier, thus implementing the mandate under 49 U.S.C. 31136(a)(1); that is, ensuring that CMVs are maintained and operated safely.

Background

    FMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities 
and of passengers, under 49 U.S.C. 13902(a); surface freight 
forwarders, under 49 U.S.C. 13903; property brokers, under 49 U.S.C. 
13904; and certain Mexico-domiciled motor carriers, under 49 U.S.C. 
13902(c). These motor carriers may conduct transportation services in 
the United States only if they are registered with FMCSA. Each 
registration is effective from the date specified and remains in effect 
for such period as the Secretary of Transportation determines by 
regulations.
    The final rule titled ``Unified Registration System,'' (78 FR 
52608) dated August 23, 2013, implemented statutory provisions for an 
online registration system for entities that are subject to FMCSA's 
licensing, registration, and certification regulations. URS streamlines 
the registration process and serves as a clearinghouse and repository 
of information on motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, 
intermodal equipment providers, hazardous materials safety permit 
applicants, and cargo tank facilities required to register with FMCSA. 
When developing URS, FMCSA planned that the OP-1 series of forms 
(except for OP-1(MX)) would ultimately be folded into one overarching 
form (MCSA-1), which would be used by all motor carriers seeking 
authority.
    FMCSA began a phased rollout of URS in 2015. The first phase, which 
became effective on December 12, 2015, impacts only first-time 
applicants seeking an FMCSA-issued registration. FMCSA had planned 
subsequent rollout phases for existing registrants; however, there have 
been substantial delays, and subsequent phases have not been rolled out 
to date.
    On January 17, 2017, FMCSA issued a final rule titled ``Unified 
Registration System; Suspension of Effectiveness,'' which indefinitely 
suspended URS effectiveness dates for existing registrants only (82 FR 
5292). Pursuant to this final rule, FMCSA is still accepting forms OP-
1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) for existing registrants wishing to 
apply for additional authorities. Separately, FMCSA requires Form OP-
1(MX) for Mexico-domiciled carriers that wish to operate beyond the 
U.S. municipalities on the U.S.-Mexico border and their commercial 
zones.
    As described above, only first-time applicants seeking an FMCSA-
issued registration must apply for authority via URS, using Form MCSA-
1. Under URS, all forms described in the current ICR, except OP-1(MX), 
are folded into Form MCSA-1. Information collection activities 
associated with the OP-1 series of forms are covered under a different 
ICR, titled ``Licensing Applications for Motor Carrier Operating 
Authority,'' OMB Control No. 2126-0016.
    Form MCSA-1 requests information to identify the applicant, the 
nature and scope of its proposed operations, safety-related details, 
and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in 
U.S. operations. FMCSA and the States use registration information 
collected via Form MCSA-1 to track motor carriers, freight forwarders, 
brokers, and other entities they regulate. Registering motor carriers 
is essential to being able to identify carriers so that their safety 
performance can be tracked and evaluated. The data make it possible to 
link individual trucks to the responsible motor carrier, thus 
implementing the mandate under 49 U.S.C. 31136(a)(1); that is, ensuring 
that CMVs are maintained and operated safely. In general, registration 
information collected via Form MCSA-1 informs prioritization of the 
Agency's activities and aids in assessing and statistically analyzing 
the safety outcomes of those activities.
    The current information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goal 
of Safety. It streamlines registration processes and ensures that FMCSA 
can more efficiently track motor carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, 
and other entities regulated by the Agency.
    PUBLIC COMMENTS INVITED: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2) 
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the 
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information.
