The information on the form is also used to address passport fraud and misuse. All three forms have been amended to replace the term ‘‘sex’’ with ‘‘gender’’ and to be pronoun-inclusive of all genders.

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments. AGENCY: This document provides the public with notice that, on October 16, 2023, New Jersey Transit (NJT) submitted a request for amendment (RFA) to its FRA-certified positive train control (PTC) system. The RFA notifies FRA of a planned PTC outage to its I– ETMS PTC System for maintenance purposes. FRA is publishing this notice and inviting public comment on the railroad’s RFA to its PTC system. DATES: FRA will consider comments received by November 13, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Comments: Comments may be submitted by going to https:// www.regulations.gov and following the SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 online instructions for submitting comments. Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and the applicable docket number. The relevant PTC docket number for this host railroad is Docket No. FRA–2010–0033. For convenience, all active PTC dockets are hyperlinked on FRA’s website at https://railroads.dot.gov/researchdevelopment/program-areas/traincontrol/ptc/railroads-ptc-dockets.

Before making certain changes to an FRA-certified PTC system or the associated FRA-approved PTC Safety Plan (PTCSP), a host railroad must submit, and obtain FRA’s approval of, an RFA to its PTC system or PTCSP under 49 CFR 236.1021. Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA’s regulations provide that FRA will publish a notice in the Federal Register and invite public comment in accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an RFA includes a request for approval of a material modification of a signal or train control system. Accordingly, this notice informs the public that, on October 16, 2023, NJT submitted an RFA to its PTCSP for its Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I–ETMS), which seeks FRA’s approval for an approximately two-hour but no greater that three-hour outage of its PTC system to support NJT’s PTC Back Office Subsystem upgrade to improve the reliability and stability of NJT’s I– ETMS PTC system. NJT’S RFA states that the PTC system outage is necessary to perform the upgrade to NJT’s PTC Back Office System. The RFA is available in Docket No. FRA–2010– 0033. Interested parties are invited to comment on NJT’s RFA by submitting written comments or data. During FRA’s review of this railroad’s RFA, FRA will consider any comments or data submitted within the timeline specified in this notice and to the extent practicable, without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary modifications to a PTC system.
