This Information Collection is
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to request
revision of an existing Information Collection currently authorized
under Information Collection 2120-0768, “Waivers and ATC
Authorization in Controlled Airspace under Part 107.” The request
will allow the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to leverage
automated means of collecting and processing airspace
authorizations, airspace waivers, and operational waivers requested
pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 107.

The FAA Aerospace Forecast for
Fiscal years 2018-projects a greater increase in the sUAS fleet
than used in the previous calculation for this ICR. For the
purposes of this revision/renewal the FAA has increased the
transparency in its forms and calculations and split the ICs by
line of business(Airspace Waiver, Airspace Authorization, and
Operational Waivers) and by IC format (Web Portal and LAANC) Form 1
- AA/LAANC, reflects an increase of 52,143 respondents for a total
respondent/burden of 52155/5172 reflecting the full-rollout of the
LAANC program/capability and increase in anticipated participants.
Form 2 - AA/Web Portal increase to 15,550 respondents reflects both
increase in estimates to the sUAS population and its instantiation
as a stand-alone IC. The reduction in responses for Form 3 - AW
Portal reflects the removal of burden not associated with Airspace
Waivers submitted by the Web Portal from the collection as well as
an overall increase in waiver requests. In previous submissions the
FAA combined the IC for Operational and Airspace waivers, the
introduction of Form 4 - OW/Portal presents the annual
respondent/burden (5,056/3,286) specific to this OW activity and
reflects the growing sUAS population.
