Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2023 / Notices
notice includes the following
information to allow FAA to associate
an unmanned aircraft to a responsible
person:
(1) An indication whether the person
operating the foreign registered civil
unmanned aircraft in the United States
is an organization or an individual.
(2) The name of the person operating
the foreign registered civil unmanned
aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the person’s authorized
representative.
(3) The physical address of the person
operating the foreign registered civil
unmanned aircraft in the United States,
and, if applicable, the physical address
for the person’s authorized
representative. If the operator or
authorized representative does not
receive mail at the physical address, a
mailing address must also be provided.
(4) The telephone number(s) where
the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the
United States, and, if applicable, the
person’s authorized representative can
be reached while in the United States.
(5) The email address of the person
operating the foreign registered civil
unmanned aircraft in the United States,
and, if applicable, the email address of
the person’s authorized representative.
(6) An indication whether the
unmanned aircraft is a standard remote
identification unmanned aircraft or has
a remote identification broadcast
module.
(7) The unmanned aircraft
manufacturer and model name.
(8) The serial number of the
unmanned aircraft or remote
identification broadcast module.
(8) The country of registration of the
unmanned aircraft.
(10) The registration number.
Once a person submits an online
notice of identification, the FAA will
issue a confirmation of identification. A
person operating a foreign-registered
unmanned aircraft in the United States
must maintain the confirmation of
identification at the unmanned aircraft’s
control station and must produce it
when requested by the FAA or a law
enforcement officer.
The holder of a confirmation of
identification must ensure the
information provided under § 89.130(a)
remains accurate and is updated prior to
operating a foreign registered civil
unmanned aircraft with remote
identification in the United States. The
confirmation of identification expires
after one year and can be cancelled or
renewed online at FAA Drone Zone.
Respondents: Operators of foreignregistered civil unmanned aircraft with
remote identification, as needed (prior

to operating in the airspace of the
United States) are mandated to report
information to this collection. The FAA
uses information provided by operators
of foreign-registered civil unmanned
aircraft operating in the airspace of the
United States to identify those aircraft.
Frequency: As needed prior to
operation of a foreign-registered civil
unmanned aircraft in the United States.

Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:
Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks
approval of the Information Collection
Request (ICR) summarized below.
Before submitting this ICR to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval, FRA is soliciting public
comment on specific aspects of the
activities identified in the ICR.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before January
5, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov
to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2023–
0002. All comments received will be
posted without change to the docket,
including any personal information
provided. Please refer to the assigned
OMB control number (2130–0564) in
any correspondence submitted. FRA
will summarize comments received in a
subsequent 30-day notice and include
them in its information collection
submission to OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days’ notice to the public to
allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB
approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through
1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites
interested parties to comment on the
following ICR regarding: (1) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (2)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
FRA believes that soliciting public
comment may reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information that
Federal regulations mandate. In
summary, comments received will
advance three objectives: (1) reduce
reporting burdens; (2) organize
information collection requirements in a
‘‘user-friendly’’ format to improve the
use of such information; and (3)
accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
The summary below describes the ICR
that FRA will submit for OMB clearance
as the PRA requires:
Title: Locomotive Crashworthiness.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0564.
Abstract: Under 49 CFR part 229,
subpart D, FRA prescribes minimum
crashworthiness standards for certain
locomotives. These crashworthiness
standards are intended to help protect
locomotive cab occupants in the event
of a train collision or derailment. FRA
uses this collection of information to
ensure railroads operate locomotives
that meet the prescribed minimum
performance standards and design load

76270
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2023 / Notices
requirements for newly manufactured
and re-manufactured locomotives.
In this 60-day notice, FRA makes
adjustments that decrease the
previously approved estimated total
annual burden hours from 507 hours to
407 hours. These estimate adjustments
reflect that FRA anticipates a decrease
in the annual petition submissions for
approval of substantive and nonsubstantive changes to locomotive
crashworthiness design standards and
alternative design standards under the
following sections:
• Under § 229.207(c), FRA is
decreasing the estimated annual burden
hours by 33.50 hours.
• Under § 229.207(d), FRA is
decreasing the estimated annual burden
hours by 33.50 hours.
• Under § 229.209(b), FRA is
decreasing the estimated annual burden
hours by 33.50 hours.
Type of Request: Extension without
change (with changes in estimates) of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses/Public/
Interested Parties.
Form(s): N/A.
Respondent Universe: 783 railroads, 4
locomotive manufacturers.
