SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120–0659.
Title: Noise Certification Standards
for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and Subsonic
Transport Category Large Airplanes.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The aircraft noise
information collected are the results of
noise certification tests that demonstrate
compliance with 14 CFR part 36. The
original information collection was
implemented to show compliance in
accordance with the Aircraft Noise
Abatement Act of 1968; that statute is
now part of the overall codification of
the FAA’s regulatory authority over
aircraft noise in 49 U.S.C. 44715. For
this renewal, the FAA proposes to
maintain this PRA collection at 14 total
noise certification projects per year.
Each applicant’s collected information
is incorporated into a noise compliance
report that is provided to and approved
by the FAA. The noise compliance
report is used by the FAA in making a
finding that the airplane is in noise
compliance with the regulations. These
compliance reports are required only
once when an applicant wants to
certificate an aircraft type. Without this
data collection, the FAA would be
unable to make the required noise
certification compliance finding.
Respondents: Aircraft manufacturer/
applicant seeking type certification.
Frequency: Estimated 15 total
applicants per year.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Estimated 200 hours per
applicant for the compliance report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
$20,160 per applicant or cumulative
total $302,400 per year for 15
applicants.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 2, 2023.

Engineer, Office of Environment and Energy,

[Docket Number FRA–2023–0030]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on March 24, 2023, the Belt
Railway Company of Chicago, in
conjunction with the labor unions that
represent its schedule employees
(SMART–TD, BLET, ATDA, TCU, BRC
Division of TCU–IAM, BMWED, BRS,
IBEW, SMART–M, ARASA, IAM, and
NCFO) (collectively, Petitioners),
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 240
(Qualification and Certification of
Locomotive Engineers) and part 242
(Qualification and Certification of
Conductors). FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA–2023–0030.
Specifically, Petitioners request relief
required to participate in FRA’s
Confidential Close Call Reporting
System (C3RS) Program. Petitioners seek
to shield reporting employees and the
railroad from mandatory punitive
sanctions that would otherwise arise as
provided in §§ 240.117(e)(1)–(4);
240.305(a)(1)–(4) and (a)(6); 240.307;
242.403(b), (c), (e)(1)–(4), (e)(6)–(11),
(f)(1)–(2); and 242.407. The C3RS
Program encourages certified operating
crew members to report close calls and
protects the employees and the railroad
from discipline or sanctions arising
from the incidents reported per the
C3RS Implementing Memorandum of
Understanding.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at

[Docket Number FRA–2023–0029]
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on March 21, 2023, Indiana
Northeastern Railroad Company, in
partnership with Little River Railroad,
Inc. (Petitioners), petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for a
waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR part
240 (Qualification and Certification of
Locomotive Engineers). FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA–2023–
0029.
Specifically, Petitioners request relief
from § 240.201(d), which requires that
only certified persons operate
locomotives and trains. The relief would
allow noncertified persons to pay a fee
and operate a locomotive as part of a
‘‘throttle time’’ program. In support of
its petition, Petitioners note that the
relief would only apply to persons
participating in the program, and that
participants would be 18 years of age or
older and under the direct supervision
of a certified and qualified locomotive
