Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2023 / Notices 76269 

notice includes the following 

information to allow FAA to associate 

an unmanned aircraft to a responsible 

person: 

(1) An indication whether the person 

operating the foreign registered civil 

unmanned aircraft in the United States 

is an organization or an individual. 

(2) The name of the person operating 

the foreign registered civil unmanned 

aircraft in the United States, and, if 

applicable, the person’s authorized 

representative. 

(3) The physical address of the person 

operating the foreign registered civil 

unmanned aircraft in the United States, 

and, if applicable, the physical address 

for the person’s authorized 

representative. If the operator or 

authorized representative does not 

receive mail at the physical address, a 

mailing address must also be provided. 

(4) The telephone number(s) where 

the person operating the foreign 

registered civil unmanned aircraft in the 

United States, and, if applicable, the 

person’s authorized representative can 

be reached while in the United States. 

(5) The email address of the person 

operating the foreign registered civil 

unmanned aircraft in the United States, 

and, if applicable, the email address of 

the person’s authorized representative. 

(6) An indication whether the 

unmanned aircraft is a standard remote 

identification unmanned aircraft or has 

a remote identification broadcast 

module. 

(7) The unmanned aircraft 

manufacturer and model name. 

(8) The serial number of the 

unmanned aircraft or remote 

identification broadcast module. 

(8) The country of registration of the 

unmanned aircraft. 

(10) The registration number. 

Once a person submits an online 

notice of identification, the FAA will 

issue a confirmation of identification. A 

person operating a foreign-registered 

unmanned aircraft in the United States 

must maintain the confirmation of 

identification at the unmanned aircraft’s 

control station and must produce it 

when requested by the FAA or a law 

enforcement officer. 

The holder of a confirmation of 

identification must ensure the 

information provided under § 89.130(a) 

remains accurate and is updated prior to 

operating a foreign registered civil 

unmanned aircraft with remote 

identification in the United States. The 

confirmation of identification expires 

after one year and can be cancelled or 

renewed online at FAA Drone Zone. 

Respondents: Operators of foreignregistered civil unmanned aircraft with 

remote identification, as needed (prior 

to operating in the airspace of the 

United States) are mandated to report 

information to this collection. The FAA 

uses information provided by operators 

of foreign-registered civil unmanned 

aircraft operating in the airspace of the 

United States to identify those aircraft. 

Frequency: As needed prior to 

operation of a foreign-registered civil 

unmanned aircraft in the United States. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 6 minutes per response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6 

minutes per respondent, 797 hours per 

year total for all respondents.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2023–0002–N–27] 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its 

implementing regulations, FRA seeks 

approval of the Information Collection 

Request (ICR) summarized below. 

Before submitting this ICR to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

approval, FRA is soliciting public 

comment on specific aspects of the 

activities identified in the ICR. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before January 

5, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICR 

should be submitted on regulations.gov 

to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2023– 

0002. All comments received will be 

posted without change to the docket, 

including any personal information 

provided. Please refer to the assigned 

OMB control number (2130–0564) in 

any correspondence submitted. FRA 

will summarize comments received in a 

subsequent 30-day notice and include 

them in its information collection 

submission to OMB. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Arlette Mussington, Information 

Collection Clearance Officer, at email: 

arlette.mussington@dot.gov or 

telephone: (571) 609–1285 or Ms. 

Joanne Swafford, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, at email: 

joanne.swafford@dot.gov or telephone: 

(757) 897–9908. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to 

provide 60-days’ notice to the public to 

allow comment on information 

collection activities before seeking OMB 

approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C. 

3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 

1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites 

interested parties to comment on the 

following ICR regarding: (1) whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

activities will have practical utility; (2) 

the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the 

burden of the information collection 

activities, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

determine the estimates; (3) ways for 

FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information being 

collected; and (4) ways for FRA to 

minimize the burden of information 

collection activities on the public, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1). 

FRA believes that soliciting public 

comment may reduce the administrative 

and paperwork burdens associated with 

the collection of information that 

Federal regulations mandate. In 

summary, comments received will 

advance three objectives: (1) reduce 

reporting burdens; (2) organize 

information collection requirements in a 

‘‘user-friendly’’ format to improve the 

use of such information; and (3) 

accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501. 

The summary below describes the ICR 

that FRA will submit for OMB clearance 

as the PRA requires: 

Title: Locomotive Crashworthiness. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0564. 

Abstract: Under 49 CFR part 229, 

subpart D, FRA prescribes minimum 

crashworthiness standards for certain 

locomotives. These crashworthiness 

standards are intended to help protect 

locomotive cab occupants in the event 

of a train collision or derailment. FRA 

uses this collection of information to 

ensure railroads operate locomotives 

that meet the prescribed minimum 

performance standards and design load

1The dollar equivalent cost is derived from the 

2022 Surface Transportation Board Full Year Wage 

A&B data series using employee group 200: 

(Professional & Administrative), hourly wage rate of 

$49.10. The total burden wage rate (straight time 

plus 75%) used in the table is $85.93 ($49.10 × 1.75 

= $85.93).

requirements for newly manufactured 

and re-manufactured locomotives. 

In this 60-day notice, FRA makes 

adjustments that decrease the 

previously approved estimated total 

annual burden hours from 507 hours to 

407 hours. These estimate adjustments 

reflect that FRA anticipates a decrease 

in the annual petition submissions for 

approval of substantive and nonsubstantive changes to locomotive 

crashworthiness design standards and 

alternative design standards under the 

following sections: 

• Under § 229.207(c), FRA is 

decreasing the estimated annual burden 

hours by 33.50 hours. 

• Under § 229.207(d), FRA is 

decreasing the estimated annual burden 

hours by 33.50 hours. 

• Under § 229.209(b), FRA is 

decreasing the estimated annual burden 

hours by 33.50 hours.
