Abstract: This revision to the 2120-0765/Small Unmanned Aircraft Registration System information collection is submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to request the removal of the paper form permitting owners operating exclusively in compliance with section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act to delete their registration information from the database and receive a refund if they wish. The collection was created in response to the May 19, 2017 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in which the Small UAS Registration and Marking interim final rule was vacated to the extent it applied to model aircraft. Congress has since restored registration for model aircraft in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-91). Consequently, the FAA has discontinued its process for registration deletion and refund for owners operating in compliance with section 336. All owners of small unmanned aircraft weighing more than .55 pounds must register prior to operating outdoors in the national airspace system.
