affidavit to confirm that individual’s 

identity, which is relevant to confirming 

his or her relationship to the applicant 

and in assessing the likelihood that the 

affiant has personal knowledge of the 

facts of the applicant’s birth. 

In an ongoing effort to reduce public 

burden times, the ‘‘Sex’’ field 

(previously Item 2) has been removed 

from the DS–10, Birth Affidavit. 

Passport Services determined that this 

decision will not affect the procedural 

or policy aspects of DS–10 form 

adjudication or impact the 

determination of U.S. citizenship 

findings by passport adjudicators. 

• 1405–0133, DS–60, Affidavit 

Regarding a Change of Name: The form 

is submitted in conjunction with an 

application for a U.S. passport. It is used 

by Passport Services to collect 

information for the purpose of 

establishing that a passport applicant 

has adopted a new name without formal 

court proceedings or by marriage and 

has publicly and exclusively used the 

adopted name over a period of time (at 

least five years). 

• 1405–0146, DS–86, Statement of 

Non-Receipt of a U.S. Passport: The 

form is used by the U.S. Department of 

State to collect information for the 

purpose of issuing a replacement 

passport to customers whose passports 

have been issued but who have not 

received their passport documents in 

the mail. The information collected on 

the Statement of Non-Receipt of a U.S. 

Passport is used by the Department of 

State to help ensure that no person bears 

more than one valid or potentially valid 

U.S. passport book of the same type 

and/or passport card at any one time, 

except as authorized by the Department. 

The information on the form is also 

used to address passport fraud and 

misuse. 

All three forms have been amended to 

replace the term ‘‘sex’’ with ‘‘gender’’ 

and to be pronoun-inclusive of all 

genders. 

Methodology 

When needed, the Birth Affidavit is 

either provided by the Department or 

downloaded from the Department’s 

website and completed by the affiant. It 

must be signed in the presence of a 

passport agent, acceptance agent, or 

notary.

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

roadway improvements along 700 South 

and the adjacent intersections; and a 

new 12-foot-wide shared-use trail.

Gabe.Neal@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general, 

Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify 

that a host railroad’s PTC system 

complies with Title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part 236, subpart I, 

before the technology may be operated 

in revenue service. Before making 

certain changes to an FRA-certified PTC 

system or the associated FRA-approved 

PTC Safety Plan (PTCSP), a host railroad 

must submit, and obtain FRA’s approval 

of, an RFA to its PTC system or PTCSP 

under 49 CFR 236.1021. 

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 

October 16, 2023, NJT submitted an 

RFA to its PTCSP for its Interoperable 

Electronic Train Management System 

(I–ETMS), which seeks FRA’s approval 

for an approximately two-hour but no 

greater that three-hour outage of its PTC 

system to support NJT’s PTC Back 

Office Subsystem upgrade to improve 

the reliability and stability of NJT’s I– 

ETMS PTC system. NJT’S RFA states 

that the PTC system outage is necessary 

to perform the upgrade to NJT’s PTC 

Back Office System. The RFA is 

available in Docket No. FRA–2010– 

0033. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on NJT’s RFA by submitting 

written comments or data. During FRA’s 

review of this railroad’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
