1997). Aircraft operators seeking 

specific operational approval to conduct 

RVSM operations outside the U.S. must 

submit their application to the 

responsible Flight Standards office. The 

responsible Flight Standards office 

registers RVSM approved airframes in 

the FAA RVSM Approvals Database to 

track the approval status for operator 

airframes. Application information 

includes evidence of aircraft equipment 

and RVSM qualification information 

along with operational training and 

program elements. 

Respondents: Operators are required 

to submit application for RVSM specific 

approval if they desire to operate in 

RVSM airspace outside the U.S. or if 

they do not meet the provisions of title 

14 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR), part 91, appendix G, section 

9—Aircraft Equipped with Automatic 

Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast 

Out. The FAA estimates processing 900 

initial applications annually and 2,136 

annual updates to existing approvals.

application for initial specific approval 

to operate in RVSM airspace, or 

whenever requesting an update to an 

existing approval. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 4.00 hours for updates to 

existing applications and 6.8 hours for 

application of initial approvals. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

14,664 hours.

Notice of Request for Information (RFI) 

on Medium- and Heavy-Duty Electric 

Charging Technologies and 

Infrastructure Needs

SUMMARY: The FHWA, along with the 

Joint Office of Energy and 

Transportation (Joint Office), invites 

public comment on this request for 

information (RFI) regarding the 

Medium- and Heavy-Duty Electric 

Charging Technologies and 

Infrastructure Needs. This RFI seeks 

input in four areas to support medium 

and heavy-duty (MHD) battery electric 

vehicles (EV) (DOT vehicle classes 4

and station needs; vehicle charging 

patterns; MHD EV charger technology 

and standardization; and workforce, 

supply chain, and manufacturing to 

support charging of MHD battery EVs. 

The goal is to inform appropriate future 

Federal Government activities to 

support the development and 

deployment of EV chargers to support 

the anticipated needs of MHD EV 

original equipment manufacturers, fleet 

operators, drivers, charging station

balance advances in technology with the 

need to expeditiously build out the 

national EV charging infrastructure, 

including support for MHD segments.

Background 

Vehicle manufacturers and operators 

are deploying MHD EVs at an increasing 

rate with a recent report citing the 

availability of over 160 models and over 

17,500 zero emission trucks in 

operation—a nearly 10-fold increase 

from just 3 years ago.1 This trend in 

MHD EV adoption is driven by a 

combination of factors, including 

declining battery costs, improvements 

in vehicle performance and range, and 

growing recognition of the economic 

and environmental benefits associated 

with electrification. 

The regulatory landscape governing 

MHD EVs (DOT vehicle classes 4 

through 8) is evolving rapidly as well, 

driven in part by imperatives to reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions and criteria 

pollutants. Examples of such regulations 

include performance-based emission 

standards by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency 2 and the Advanced 

Clean Trucks rule through the California 

Air Resources Board,3 which other 

States may elect to adopt consistent 

with Section 177 of the Clean Air Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7507).
