Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on January 25, 2023 (88 FR 4878). FAA received two comments in response to this notice. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00200 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58433 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 were required 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 optional ER CEFAs electronically.1 Each document use Microsoft Excelbased templates and can be transmitted via email. 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 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.
