Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Notices 4325 

3A copy of the Lease containing the interchange 

commitment was filed under seal with the verified 

notice. See 49 CFR 1150.43(h)(1). 

Louis.3 MER has provided additional 

information regarding the interchange 

commitment as required by 49 CFR 

1150.43(h). 

MER certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not exceed $5 million and will not 

result in the creation of a Class I or Class 

II rail carrier. 

Under 49 CFR 1150.42(b), a change in 

operator exemption requires that notice 

be given to shippers. MER certifies that 

it has provided notice of the proposed 

transaction and interchange 

commitment to shippers that currently 

use or have used the Line in the last two 

years. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after February 10, 2022, the 

effective date of the exemption. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than February 3, 2022 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36574, should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on MER’s representative, 

Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606–3208. 

According to MER, this action is 

categorically excluded from historic 

preservation reporting requirements 

under 49 CFR 1105.8(b) and from 

environmental reporting requirements 

under 49 CFR 1105.6(c).

Aircraft Registration, Recording of 

Aircraft Conveyances and Security 

Documents, FAA Entry Point Filing 

Form—International Registry, and 

Dealer’s Aircraft Registration 

Certificate Application 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

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 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval of a substantive change to 

multiple previously approved 

information collections. The FAA 

Reauthorization Act of 2018, Section 

546, requires the implementation of 

systems allowing a member of the 

public to submit any information or 

form to the Registry and conduct any 

transaction with the Registry by 

electronic or other remote means. In 

response to this requirement, the FAA 

created Civil Aviation Registry 

Electronic Services (CARES) and 

intends to change its current 

information collection to accommodate 

electronic registry applications. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 28, 2022.

Background: Public Law 103–272 

states that all aircraft must be registered 

before they may be flown. It sets forth 

registration eligibility requirements and 

provides for application for registration 

as well as suspension and/or revocation 

of registration. The information 

collected is used by the FAA to register 

an aircraft and record a security interest 

in a registered aircraft. 

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 

(Pub. L. 115–254 or The Act), Section 

546, ‘‘FAA Civil Aviation Registry 

Upgrade’’, requires: 

1. The digitization of non-digital 

Registry information, including paper 

documents, microfilm images, and 

photographs, from an analog or nondigital format to a digital format; 

2. The digitalization of Registry 

manual and paper-based processes, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
4326 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Notices 

business operations, and functions by 

leveraging digital technologies and a 

broader use of digitized data; 

3. The implementation of systems 

allowing a member of the public to 

submit any information or form to the 

Registry and conduct any transaction 

with the Registry by electronic or other 

remote means; and 

4. Allowing more efficient, broader, 

and remote access to the Registry. 

In response to The Act, the FAA has 

initiated the creation of Civil Aviation 

Registry Electronic Services (CARES). 

CARES is intended to modernize and 

streamline the way these forms are 

submitted by providing online access to 

users wishing to submit information 

electronically. Public users will 

continue to have the paper-based 

submission option by providing the 

same information that is accepted today, 

along with the addition of an email 

address. 

To accommodate the public user with 

these web-based services, a dedicated 

online user account must first be 

established. CARES will leverage an 

existing FAA Single Sign-On (SSO) 

capability known as MyAccess. 

MyAccess will be used to generate 

online public user accounts, and also 

serve as part of the user account signon and authentication process after a 

user account has been created. 

As an alternative to the web-based 

services, public users will still be 

permitted to send in paper forms 

directly to the Registry office via 

conventional mail services. These paper 

forms will be revised to collect the 

email address of the public user to help 

streamline processing of the public 

users’ request. The modified paper 

forms will supersede all prior forms. 

Respondents: Approximately 162,176 

applicants for 2120–0042; 3,670 

applicants for 2120–0024; 22,370 

applicants for 2120–0043; and 14,360 

applicants for 2120–0697. 

Frequency: Information is collected 

on occasion for 2120–0042, 2120–0043 

and 2120–0697; annually to maintain a 

certificate for 2120–0024. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 32 minutes for 2120–0042; 45 

minutes for 2120–0024; 1 hour for 

2120–0043; and 30 minutes for 2120– 

0697. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

135,457 hours for 2120–0042; 2753 

hours for 2120–0024; 22,370 hours for 

2120–0043; and 7,180 hours for 2120– 

0697.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2021–0006–N–17] 

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, this notice 

announces that FRA is forwarding the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

abstracted below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the information collection and its 

expected burden. On November 8, 2021, 

FRA published a notice providing a 60- 

day period for public comment on the 

ICR. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before February 

28, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICR 

should be sent within 30 days of 

publication of this notice to 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 

Find the particular ICR by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Hodan Wells, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer at email: 

Hodan.Wells@dot.gov or telephone: 

(202) 493–0440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 

through 1320.12. On November 8, 2021, 

FRA published a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register soliciting comment on 

the ICR for which it is now seeking 

OMB approval. See 86 FR 61830. FRA 

received no comments related to the 

proposed collection of information. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve the proposed collection of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. Federal law requires 

OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30-day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR 

1320.12(a); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983 

(Aug. 29, 1995). OMB believes the 30- 

day notice informs the regulated 

community to file relevant comments 

and affords the agency adequate time to 

digest public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983 (Aug. 

29, 1995). Therefore, respondents 

should submit their respective 

comments to OMB within 30 days of 

publication to best ensure having their 

full effect. 

Comments are invited on the 

following ICR regarding: (1) Whether the 

information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

information 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 to minimize the 

burden of information collection 

activities on the public, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

The summary below describes the ICR 

that FRA will submit for OMB clearance 

as the PRA requires: 

Title: Passenger Equipment Safety 

Standards. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–0544. 

Abstract: The information collection 

under 49 CFR part 238 is used by FRA 

to promote passenger train safety by 

ensuring requirements are met for 

railroad equipment design and 

performance, fire safety, emergency 

systems, inspection, testing, and 

maintenance, and other provisions for 

the safe operation of railroad passenger 

equipment. For instance, the 

information collected from daily 

inspections is used to detect and correct 

equipment problems in order to prevent, 

to the extent that they can be prevented, 

collisions, derailments, and other 

occurrences involving railroad 

passenger equipment that cause injury 

or death to railroad employees, railroad 

passengers, or to the general public. 

Upon detailed review of part 238, 

FRA made several adjustments to its 

estimated paperwork burdens in this 

ICR extension, as described in the 60- 

day notice published on November 8,
