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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on June 23, 2023 under docket number FAA–2020– 0385. The collection involves information on the availability of airport gates and related facilities, leasing and sub-leasing arrangements, gate-use requirements, gate-assignment policy, financial constraints, airport controls over air- and ground-side capacity, and whether the airport intends to build or acquire gates that would be used as common facilities. The information to be collected is necessary because it is required by statute that a covered airport submits a written competition plan to the Secretary/Administrator in order to receive approval to impose a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) or to receive a grant under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 5, 2024. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ PRAMain.

OMB Control Number: 2120–0661. Title: Competition Plans, Passenger Facility Charge. Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this collection. 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 June 23, 2023 (88 FR 41184). This collection asks the public agencies to report on the availability of airport gates and related facilities, leasing and subleasing arrangements, gate-use requirements, gate-assignment policy, financial constraints, airport controls over air- and ground-side capacity, and whether the airport intends to build or acquire gates that would be used as common facilities. The DOT/FAA uses information submitted in response to this requirement to carry out the intent of §§ 40117(k) and 47106(f), which is to assure that a covered airport has, and implements, a plan to provide opportunities for competitive access by new entrant air carriers or air carriers seeking to expand. The information allows FAA to assess the competitive environment at airports and provide feedback to the airport on suggested improvements. Once an airport qualifies as covered the collection frequency is as follows: it is required to send its initial competition plan as soon as possible. Upon approval by the FAA of the initial competition plan, the public agency must submit two (2) competition plan updates, in 18-month intervals, while it remains a covered airport. Once an airport has submitted, and the FAA has approved, its initial competition plan and the subsequent two (2) updates, a competition plan is only required if the airport (1) has filed a competitive access report as required by Section 424 of Vision 100, codified as 49 U.S.C. 47107(s) stating it has denied access to an air carrier for gates or facilities within the last six months; or (2) is executing a new master lease and use agreement, or significantly amending a lease and use agreement, including an amendment due to use of PFC financing of gates. If an airport loses its status as a covered airport, no further competition plan updates are required unless or until the airport becomes covered again.

ACTION: Notice; request for information (RFI). AGENCY: The FHWA issued regulations establishing minimum standards and requirements for certain electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Subsequent to the publication of this final rule, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a Technical Information Report for a new connector standard, known as J3400, which multiple automakers have announced an intention to adopt in the coming years. To ensure the effective implementation of programs that are subject to the minimum standards and requirements and to inform a potential update to the minimum standards, FHWA, in coordination with the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, is seeking additional information in five areas: on the expectations surrounding market availability for J3400 within EVs and EV chargers; on the technical compatibility of J3400 with existing regulations and safety considerations; on considerations regarding challenges and benefits of the implementation of J3400 at charging stations; on market demands for the continued availability of Combined Charging System (CCS) and J1772 connectors; and potential options for performance-based standards that can reduce the need for future regulatory updates or changes as technology evolves.

requirements, gate-assignment policy, financial constraints, airport 
controls over air- and ground-side capacity, and whether the airport 
intends to build or acquire gates that would be used as common 
facilities. The information to be collected is necessary because it is 
required by statute that a covered airport submits a written 
competition plan to the Secretary/Administrator in order to receive

Infrastructure Law (BIL).

    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on June 23, 2023 (88 FR 41184). This collection asks the 
public agencies to report on the availability of airport gates and 
related facilities, leasing and sub-leasing arrangements, gate-use 
requirements, gate-assignment policy, financial constraints, airport 
controls over air- and ground-side capacity, and whether the airport 
intends to build or acquire gates that would be used as common 
facilities. The DOT/FAA uses information submitted in response to this 
requirement to carry out the intent of Sec. Sec.  40117(k) and 
47106(f), which is to assure that a covered airport has, and 
implements, a plan to provide opportunities for competitive access by 
new entrant air carriers or air carriers seeking to expand. The 
information allows FAA to assess the competitive environment at 
airports and provide feedback to the airport on suggested improvements.
    Once an airport qualifies as covered the collection frequency is as 
follows: it is required to send its initial competition plan as soon as 
possible. Upon approval by the FAA of the initial competition plan, the 
public agency must submit two (2) competition plan updates, in 18-month 
intervals, while it remains a covered airport. Once an airport has 
submitted, and the FAA has approved, its initial competition plan and 
the subsequent two (2) updates, a competition plan is only required if 
the airport (1) has filed a competitive access report as required by 
Section 424 of Vision 100, codified as 49 U.S.C. 47107(s) stating it 
has denied access to an air carrier for gates or facilities within the

again.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 750 annually.
