Title: Inflation Reduction Act Fueling Aviation’s Sustainable Transition Grant Program. Form Numbers: Not applicable. Type of Review: New information collection. Background: The FAA is using this collection to solicit the information necessary to evaluate and select sustainable aviation fuel and lowemission aviation technology projects for funding under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), signed on August 16, 2022. Section 40007 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 directs the Secretary of Transportation to implement a ‘‘competitive grant program for eligible entities to carry out projects located in the United States that produce, transport, blend, or store sustainable aviation fuel, or develop, demonstrate, or apply low-emission aviation technologies.’’ The Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking to establish this new grant program—named the Fueling Aviation’s Sustainable Transition (FAST) Grant Program—and collect project proposals PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33659 via a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). FAST will have elements focused on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), to be termed FAST–SAF, and elements focused on low-emission aviation technologies, to be termed FAST-Tech. The program aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) associated with the aviation sector, in line with the net-zero GHG by 2050 goal outlined in the U.S. Aviation Climate Action Plan. The amount of available funding for the two programs is $244.53M and $46.53M for FAST– SAF and FAST-Tech, respectively. The NOFO will solicit project proposals from eligible entities. The collected information is required for FAA to evaluate proposals and distribute IRA funds to address U.S. climate goals. Eligible entities who elect to compete for funding and obtain benefits from the FAST Grant Program will submit project information. The information collected is based on grant criteria outlined in the IRA Section 40007. The FAA will use information submitted to evaluate and select projects for funding that most closely align with the criteria outlined in the NOFO. A team of subject matter experts in aircraft technology development and sustainable aviation fuels from the FAA and other government agencies will assess each application against the applicable criteria. The information FAA is collecting will include technical, project management, and cost proposals for candidate projects. Key evaluation criteria include the capacity for the project to increase the domestic production and deployment of SAF or the use of low-emission aviation technologies and the projected greenhouse gas emissions from such a project. Project information will be solicited through a NOFO published to grants.gov. Applications will be collected via grants.gov. The NOFO will outline in detail the form of the full application. Respondents: Eligible entities as outlined in IRA Section 40007. Frequency: One-time application per phase of funding. Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 500 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 25,000 hours (assuming 50 applicants).

OMB Control Number: 2120–0779. Title: Privacy International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Address (PIA). Form Numbers: Not applicable. Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection. Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on February 28, 2023 (88 FR 12715). In 2010, the FAA issued a final rule mandating equipage requirements and performance standards for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS–B) Out avionics on aircraft operating in certain airspace after December 31, 2019. Aircraft operators must be equipped with ADS–B Out to fly in most controlled airspace. Federal Regulations 14 CFR 91.225 and 14 CFR 91.227 contain requirement details. Each registered aircraft is assigned an aircraft registration number and an ICAO 24-bit aircraft address. This is also referred to as a ‘‘Mode S Code’’ in some FAA documents and websites, including the FAA Aircraft Registry. Where a 1090-MHz Extended Squitter (1090ES) transponder is required for ADS–B Out compliance, this ICAO 24bit aircraft address, based on current transponder avionics standards, is openly broadcasted on the 1090 MHz frequency in transponder replies and ADS–B messages. Subsequently, the nature of openly broadcasting makes the identity of the aircraft publicly available. Industry stakeholders have long suggested that FAA develop a process for aircraft operators who seek anonymity such that their aircraft movements and identity cannot be traced or seen by privately owned sensors that monitor the 1090 MHz frequency and combine this with other downlinked ADS–B and Mode S data being disseminated using the internet. The FAA intends to develop a process for operators who wish to mask their PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 aircraft movements and identity for a period while flying within the sovereign airspace of the United States. Participation in the assignment of privacy ICAO Code addresses is voluntary. Only U.S. registered aircraft can be assigned a privacy ICAO aircraft address. No operator can use a privacy ICAO aircraft address for a U.S.registered aircraft unless that operator is authorized to use a third-party flight identification for that same aircraft. No unique privacy ICAO address will be assigned to more than one U.S.registered aircraft at any given time. Once approved, the operator will be assigned a privacy ICAO address. The operator will be required to notify the FAA when their avionics have been loaded with the assigned temporary ICAO 24-bit aircraft address. Owners and operators must verify that the ICAO 24-bit aircraft address (Mode S code) broadcast by their ADS–B equipment matches the assigned privacy ICAO address for their aircraft. Operators can verify what ICAO 24-bit aircraft address is being broadcast by their aircraft by visiting: https:// adsbperformance.faa.gov/ PAPRRequest.aspx. For monitoring privacy ICAO address use, the information will be downloaded by the FAA and entered into the FAA’s ADS– B Performance Monitor [Docket No. FAA–2017–1194 published in Federal Register, December 20, 2017, as Document Number: 2017–27202]. Respondents: Intended for operators who seek anonymity such that their aircraft movements and identity cannot be easily traced or seen by privately owned sensors that monitor the 1090 MHz frequency. FAA estimates up to 15,000 respondents. Frequency: Frequency will be occasional based on specific scenarios. An operator can change privacy ICAO aircraft addresses, but no more often than once every 20 days. In the event real-world security concerns become evident, an operator can elect to change their PIA address sooner than 20 days. Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 15 minutes per application. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 12,563 hours.
