Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan 

for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was 

established through enactment of the 

United States Leadership Against HIV/ 

AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act 

(Pub. L. 108–25), as amended by the 

Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United 

States Global Leadership Against HIV/ 

AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria 

Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 110–293) 

(HIV/AIDS Leadership Act), as amended 

by the PEPFAR Stewardship and 

Oversight Act (Pub. L. 113–56), and as 

amended and reauthorized for a third 

time by the PEPFAR Extension Act 

(Pub. L. 115–305) to support the global 

response to HIV/AIDS. In order to 

improve program monitoring, PEPFAR 

added reporting of expenditures by 

program area to the current routine 

reporting of program results for the 

annual report. Data are collected from 

implementing partners in countries with 

PEPFAR programs using a standard tool 

(DS–4213) via an electronic web-based 

interface into which users upload data. 

These expenditures are analyzed by 

partner for all PEPFAR program areas. 

These analyses then feed into partner 

and program reviews at the country 

level for monitoring and evaluation on 

an ongoing basis. Summaries of these 

data provide key information about 

program costs under PEPFAR on a 

global level. Applying expenditure 

results will improve strategic budgeting, 

identification of efficient means of 

delivering services, and accuracy in 

defining program targets; and will 

inform allocation of resources to ensure 

the program is accountable and using 

public funds for maximum impact. 

Methodology 

Data will continue to be collected in 

a web-based interface available to all 

partners receiving funds under PEPFAR. 

Implementing partners (IPs) prefer the 

Microsoft Excel template based data 

collection process. The requirements in 

the Excel template have been reduced 

with IP input to only request critical 

information. By being able to download 

a template, prime IPs responsible to 

complete the submission are more 

effectively able to collaborate quickly 

with other key personnel and coordinate 

with their subrecipients to enter the 

data for the full amount of PEPFAR 

funding expended during the prior 

fiscal year. This approach also proves 

helpful where internet connectivity is 

not strong. After completing the Excel 

template, IPs upload the data to an 

automated system that further checks 

the data entered for quality and 

completeness. Automated checks reduce 

the time needed by IPs to complete the 

data cleaning process. Aggregate data is

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2024–0001] 

Establishment of an Emergency Relief 

Docket for Calendar Year 2024 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of establishment of 

public docket. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

establishment of FRA’s emergency relief 

docket (ERD) for calendar year 2024. 

The designated ERD for calendar year 

2024 is docket number FRA–2024–0001. 

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section for further 

information regarding submitting 

petitions and/or comments to docket 

number FRA–2024–0001. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

19, 2009, FRA published a direct final 

rule establishing ERDs and the 

procedures for handling petitions for 

emergency waivers of safety rules, 

regulations, or standards during an 

emergency situation or event. 74 FR 

23329. That direct final rule became 

effective on July 20, 2009, and made 

minor modifications to 49 CFR 211.45 

in FRA’s Rules of Practice in 49 CFR 

part 211. Section 211.45(b) provides that 

each calendar year FRA will establish 

an ERD in the publicly accessible DOT 

docket system (available at 

www.regulations.gov). Section 211.45(b) 

further provides that FRA will publish 

a notice in the Federal Register 

identifying by docket number the ERD 

for that year. FRA established the ERD 

and emergency waiver procedures to 

provide an expedited process for FRA to 

address the needs of the public and the 

railroad industry during emergency 

situations or events. This Notice 

announces the designated ERD for 

calendar year 2024 is docket number 

FRA–2024–0001. 

As detailed in § 211.45, if the FRA 

Administrator determines an emergency 

event as defined in 49 CFR 211.45(a) has 

occurred, or that an imminent threat of 

such an emergency occurring exists, and 

public safety would benefit from 

providing the railroad industry with 

operational relief, the emergency waiver 

procedures of 49 CFR 211.45 will go 

into effect. In such an event, the FRA 

Administrator will issue a statement in 

the ERD indicating the emergency 

waiver procedures are in effect and FRA 

will make every effort to post the 

statement on its website at 

railroads.dot.gov. Any party desiring 

relief from FRA regulatory requirements 

as a result of the emergency should 

submit a petition for emergency waiver 

under 49 CFR 211.45(e) and (f). Specific 

instructions for filing petitions for 

emergency waivers under 49 CFR 

211.45 are found at 49 CFR 211.45(f). 

Specific instructions for filing 

comments in response to petitions for 

emergency waivers are at 49 CFR 

211.45(h).

form of any written communications 

and comments received into any of our

BILLING CODE 4910–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2018–0072] 

Petition for Extension of Waiver of 

Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on December 14, 2023, North 

County Transit District (NCTD) 

petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for an extension 

of a waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of the Federal railroad safety 

regulations contained at 49 CFR part 

240 (Qualification and Certification of 

Locomotive Engineers) and part 242 

(Qualification and Certification of 

Conductors). The relevant Docket 

Number is FRA–2018–0072. 

Specifically, NCTD requests relief 

required to continue participation in 

FRA’s Confidential Close Call Reporting 

System (C3RS) Program. NCTD seeks to 

continue shielding reporting employees 

from mandatory punitive sanctions that 

would otherwise arise as provided in 

§§ 240.117(e)(1)–(4); 240.305(a)(1)–(4) 

and (a)(6); 240.307; 242.403(b), (c), 

(e)(1)–(4), (e)(6)–(11), (f)(1)–(2); and 

242.407. The C3RS Program encourages 

certified operating crew members to 

report close calls and protects the 

employees and the railroad from 

discipline or sanctions arising from the 

incidents reported per the C3RS 

Implementing Memorandum of 

Understanding. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested parties desire 

an opportunity for oral comment and a 

public hearing, they should notify FRA, 

in writing, before the end of the 

comment period and specify the basis 

for their request. 

All communications concerning these 

proceedings should identify the 

appropriate docket number and may be 

submitted at www.regulations.gov. 

Follow the online instructions for 

submitting comments. 

Communications received by March 

25, 2024 will be considered by FRA 

before final action is taken. Comments 

received after that date will be 

considered if practicable. 

Anyone can search the electronic 

form of any written communications 

and comments received into any of our 

dockets by the name of the individual 

submitting the comment (or signing the 

document, if submitted on behalf of an 

association, business, labor union, etc.).
