Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: Aircraft Noise
Certification Documents for
International Operations
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The collection aids to make
the aircraft noise certification
information easily accessible to the
flight crew and presentable upon
request to the appropriate foreign
officials for international airline
operation of U.S. carriers. The
information to be collected upholds the
U.S. obligations under the Convention
on International Civil Aviation and for
which FAA policy comply with
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) Standards and
Recommended Practices to the
maximum extent practicable. Thus the
FAA has adopted ICAO’s Standards and
Recommended Practices as U.S.
regulations as a means of compliance
with Annex 16 and requires noise
documentation be carried on board
aircraft that leave the United States.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by July 7, 2023.

of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0737.
Title: Aircraft Noise Certification
Documents for International Operations.
Form Numbers: None. Reference:
ICAO Annex 16, Vol.1—Aircraft Noise,
Eighth edition (July 2017) Attachment G
for format.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: On March 2, 2010, the
FAA published the final rule Notice No.
91–312, Aircraft Noise Certification
Documents for International Operations
(75 FR 9327). It requires operators that
fly outside the United States, using
aircraft subject to ICAO, Annex 16,
Volume 1, to carry aircraft noise
certification information on board the
aircraft. This collection is needed to
ensure consistent international
compliance with the ICAO, Annex 16,
Volume 1, Amendment 8 that requires
certain noise information be carried on
board the aircraft. This information
must be easily accessible to the flight
crew and presentable upon request to
the appropriate foreign National
Aviation Authority (NAA) officials. The
collection is mandatory based on U.S.
regulations and international standards.
Respondents: Operators of U.S.
registered civil aircraft flying outside
the United States.
Frequency: Estimated 75 airplanes per
year.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 25 minutes (0.42 hours) per
airplane.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: $30
per airplane or cumulative total $2,250
per year for 75 airplanes affected.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 2, 2023.

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves the
noise certification regulations for
aircraft. This includes information
collection requirements for the noise
certification of subsonic aircraft—jet
airplanes and subsonic transport
category large airplanes, small propeller
driven airplanes and rotorcraft. The
information collected are the results of
noise certification tests that demonstrate
compliance. 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. 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.

[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
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
submitted at https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

after that date will be considered if
practicable.

[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
