issued an airworthiness certificate and
mandates that these entities must retain
records of all maintenance performed on
their aircraft and records documenting
the status of life-limited parts,
compliance with airworthiness
directives, and inspection status of the
aircraft. These records are used to
validate that aircraft are maintained in
a manner that ensures the reliability
associated with having an airworthiness
certificate and that the operations-overpeople privileges afforded to category 4
operations continue to be appropriate.
The owner or operator may keep these
records electronically or by paper.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0775.
Title: Operation of Small Unmanned
Aircraft Systems over People.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: Under the authority of
49 U.S.C. 44807, the FAA is requiring
that owners and operators of small UAS
issued an airworthiness certificate
under 14 CFR part 21 retain records of
all maintenance performed on their
aircraft and records documenting the
status of life-limited parts, compliance
with airworthiness directives, and
inspection status of the aircraft. The
records must be kept for the time
specified in § 107.140, and they must be
available to the FAA and law
enforcement personnel upon request.
The owner may keep these records
electronically or on paper.

Respondents: The FAA estimates that
an average of two owners per year will
be subject to this recordkeeping
requirement. The FAA further estimates
that each of those owners operates a
fleet of 100 UAS.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The FAA estimates that
creation and retention of these records
would require 30 minutes per UAS.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 100
hours per year, based on an estimate of
2 owners per year, each owning 100
UAS and spending 30 minutes per UAS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
environmental review, consultation, and
other actions required by applicable
Federal environmental laws for this
action are being, or have been, carried
out by UDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327
and a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) dated May 26, 2022, and
executed by FHWA and UDOT. Actions
taken by UDOT on FHWA’s behalf
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute
Federal agency actions for purposes of
Federal law. Notice is hereby given that
UDOT has taken final agency actions
subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing
licenses, permits, and/or approvals for
the Midvalley Highway SR–179 Project
in the State of Utah.
The purpose for this project is to:
• Improve regional connectivity
within the Tooele Valley.
• Reduce existing and future (2050)
congestion on SR–36.
• Provide better access to planned
development in the study area; and
• Improve public welfare and safety
by providing a high-capacity alternative
to SR–36, in the case of an emergency.
The selected alternative would
construct: a new four-lane grade
separated freeway from the end of
existing Midvalley Highway to SR–112,
a new four-lane arterial between SR–112
and SR–36, a new interchange at
Midvalley Highway and SR–138, and a
shared use path along the alignment of
Midvalley Highway. The project is
identified in UDOT’s adopted 2023–
2028 State Transportation Improvement
Program as project number S–0179(2)0
with funding identified for right-of-way
acquisition. The project is also included
in UDOT’s 2023–2050 Long Range
Transportation Plan.
The actions by UDOT, and the laws
under which such actions were taken,
are described in the Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the project,
approved on September 7, 2023, in the
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) for the project, approved on
February 21, 2023, and in other
documents in the project record. The EA
and FONSI are available for review at

Background: The California HighSpeed Rail Authority (CHSRA) is
advancing the environmental review of
the Palmdale to Burbank (Project) of the
California HSR System pursuant to 23
U.S.C. 327, under which it has assumed
FRA’s environmental review
responsibilities. However, under section
327, FRA remains responsible for
making General Conformity
Determinations under the Clean Air Act.
This draft General Conformity
Determination documents FRA’s
evaluation of the Project, consistent
with the relevant sections of the Clean
Air Act and its implementing
regulations.
FRA conducted the analysis of the
Project’s potential emissions consistent
with all regulatory criteria and
procedures and after coordination with
CHSRA. FRA’s analysis and CHSRA’s
coordination with relevant entities
supports a proposed finding that
Project-generated, construction-phase
emissions for Nitrogen Dioxide (NOX)
and Carbon Monoxide (CO) will be in
excess of the General Conformity de
minimis threshold in certain calendar
years. However, CHSRA proposes to
offset its construction-phase NOX
exceedances to achieve conformance,
consistent with applicable regulatory
