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. OMB Control Number: 2120–XXXX. Title: International Traveler Information Card. Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this information collection. Type of Review: New information collection. Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on May 1, 2024 (89 FR 35298). The International Traveler Information Card (ITIC) is an electronic form that FAA employees and contractors will complete prior to international travel on official business. The purpose of the form is to collect pertinent data to be used in the event a FAA employee and/ or contractor are isolated overseas and require lifesaving assistance. This data will assist in the government’s ability to properly identify individuals and provide, if necessary, medical support and personal items to FAA employees and contractors should they be isolated overseas. The authority for this collection resides in Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)/PPD–30, 22 U.S.C. 4802 and 22 U.S.C. 3927. The duty of an agency with employees in foreign countries is to ensure they fully comply with all applicable directives of the Chief of Mission. In order to protect FAA personnel on official duty abroad, the ITIC documents the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of FAA employees and contractors to help aid in their authentication and recovery. The ITIC requests the following PII: Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height, Weight, Hair and Eye Color, Clothing and Shoe Size, Race/Ethnic Group, Blood Type, Scars/Marks/Tattoos, Known Medical Conditions, Current Medical Prescriptions, Allergies, Contact Information, Specialized Training, Language(s) Spoken, as well as information about their Emergency Contact. The traveler will also create a VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:17 Dec 10, 2024 Jkt 265001 Duress Word and Personal Authenticator Statements to aid in the identification. This information will not be available to the public, and will be managed in accordance with applicable Records Management and Privacy Act policies. Only two International Travel Security Program Managers and the Senior Watch Officer of the Washington Operations Center can retrieve ITICs to aid employees and/or contractors during an isolating event, as determined by the Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission, relying on situational factors, will make the ultimate decision on who this information is shared with, such as, but not limited to, the Department of Defense, in the event of a personnel recovery event. Respondents: The FAA estimates that there will be 35 respondents based on the average number of contractors who travelled internationally on official business in fiscal years 2023–2024. Frequency: As needed. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 0.5 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17.5 hours for all responses. Issued in Washington, DC, on November 8, 2024.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00135 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 99961 October 30, 2024, TRE submitted an RFA to its PTCSP for its I–ETMS PTC system which seeks FRA’s approval to change the classification of its PTC system to a Mixed PTC system. In its PTCSP, TRE asserts that the I–ETMS PTC system it is implementing is a mixed PTC system as defined in title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 236.1015(e). The PTCSP describes TRE’s I–ETMS implementation and the associated I–ETMS safety processes, safety analyses, and test, validation, and verification processes used during the development of I–ETMS. The PTCSP also contains TRE’s operational and support requirements and procedures. That RFA is available in Docket No. FRA–2010–0044. Interested parties are invited to comment on TRE’s RFA to its PTCSP by submitting written comments or data. During FRA’s review of TRE’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. See 49 CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR 236.1011(e).
