Authority for conducting the 

matching program: The legal authority 

for this matching agreement between 

SSA and Fiscal Service is Section 

1860D–14 of the Social Security Act 

(Act) (42 U.S.C. 1395w–114), which 

requires SSA to verify the eligibility of 

individuals who seek to be considered 

as Extra Help eligible individuals under 

the Medicare Part D prescription drug 

benefit program and who self-certify 

their income, resources, and family size. 

Fiscal Service and SSA execute this 

agreement in compliance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as 

amended by the Computer Matching 

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, and 

the regulations and guidance 

promulgated thereunder. 

Purpose(s): This agreement sets forth 

the terms, conditions, and safeguards 

under which Fiscal Service will disclose 

ownership of Savings Securities data to 

SSA. This disclosure will provide SSA 

with information necessary to verify an 

individual’s self-certification of his or 

her financial status to determine 

eligibility for low-income subsidy 

assistance (Extra Help) in the Medicare 

Part D prescription drug benefit program 

established under the MMA.1

Categories of Individuals: The 

individuals whose information is 

involved in this matching program are 

those individuals who apply for lowincome subsidy assistance in the 

Medicare Part D prescription drug 

benefit program established under the 

MMA. 

Categories of records: SSA will 

disclose to Fiscal Service a finder file 

with the Social Security number (SSN) 

for each individual for whom SSA 

requests Savings Securities ownership 

information. When a match occurs on 

an SSN, Fiscal Service will disclose the 

following to SSA: the denomination of 

the security; the serial number; the 

series; the issue date of the security; the 

current redemption value; and the 

return date of the finder file. 

SSA will disclose to Fiscal Service a 

finder file with the SSN for each 

individual for whom it requests Savings 

Securities registration information. 

Fiscal Service bases the query on the 

SSN associated with the account and 

reports any subsequent account 

holdings. When a match occurs on an 

SSN, Fiscal Service will disclose the 

following to SSA: the purchase amount; 

the account number and confirmation 

number; the series; the issue date of the 

security; the current redemption value; 

and the return date of the finder file.

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: 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 for a renewed information 

collection. The Federal Register Notice 

with a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments on the following collection of 

information was published on January 

25, 2023. FAA received two comments 

to this notice. The collection involves a 

request that airplane operators subject to 

the applicability of Annex 16, Volume 

IV of the Convention on Civil Aviation 

(hereinafter the ‘‘Chicago Convention’’) 

submit electronically an Emissions 

Monitoring Plan (EMP), an annual 

Emissions Report (ER), and an optional 

annual ER CORSIA Eligible Fuels 

Annex (CEFA) to the FAA. The 

information to be collected is necessary 

because FAA will use the information to 

fulfill the United States’ responsibilities 

under the Chicago Convention. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by September 25, 2023. 

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/

CORSIA Eligible Fuels Annex (CEFA). 

Type of Review: Clearance of a 

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 January 25, 2023 (88 FR 4878). FAA 

received two comments in response to 

this notice. 

The CORSIA MRV Program is a 

voluntary program for certain U.S. air 

carriers and commercial operators 

(collectively referred hereinafter as 

‘‘operators’’) to submit certain airplane 

CO2 emissions data to the FAA to enable 

the United States to establish uniformity 

with ICAO Standards And 

Recommended Practices (SARPs) for 

CORSIA, which were adopted in June 

2018, as Annex 16, Volume IV to the 

Chicago Convention. The United States 

supported the decision to adopt the 

CORSIA SARPs based on the 

understanding that CORSIA is the 

exclusive market-based measure 

applying to international aviation, and 

that CORSIA will ensure fair and 

reciprocal commercial competition by 

avoiding a patchwork of country- or 

regionally-based regulatory measures 

that are inconsistently applied, 

bureaucratically costly, and 

economically damaging. Furthermore, 

continued U.S. support for CORSIA 

assumes a high level of participation by 

other countries, particularly by 

countries with significant aviation 

activity, as well as a final CORSIA 

package that is acceptable to, and 

implementable by, the United States. 

Under CORSIA, all ICAO Member 

States whose airplane operators 

undertake international flights were 

required to develop an MRV system for 

CO2 emissions from those international 

flights starting January 1, 2019. The 

FAA’s CORSIA MRV Program is 

intended to be the United States’ MRV 

system for monitoring, reporting, and 

verification of U.S. airplane operator 

CO2 emissions from international 

flights. Operators that are subject to the 

applicability of CORSIA will submit 

their EMPs, ERs, and optional ER CEFAs 

electronically.1

Each document use Microsoft Excelbased templates and can be transmitted 

via email. EMPs that are submitted by 

operators will be used as a collaborative 

tool between the operator and FAA to 

document a given operator’s chosen fuel 

use monitoring procedures. FAA will 

retain a copy of the EMP and will share 

with ICAO a list of operators that submit 

EMPs. FAA will not submit any specific 

EMPs from U.S. operators to ICAO. 

Large operators, i.e., those emitting 

500,000 metric tons or more of CO2 per
