Abstract: The information collected as part of the small unmanned aircraft registration system will identify to the FAA those persons owning small unmanned aircraft, whether the intended use is recreational, or as other than recreational. All persons who wish to operate a small unmanned aircraft outdoors are required to register. This information is collected as needed and is for reporting purposes. Only demographic information is released quarterly in the FOIA library. Other information may be disclosed upon request with any individual PII redacted. It will also allow the FAA to provide those persons respondents with educational materials regarding safety of flight in the National Airspace System (NAS) to promote greater accountability and responsibility of these new users of the NAS.

Short Statement: The prior submission reversed the information collection to its pre-litigation state. For a brief period of time in 2017, the FAA was temporarily without authority for the collection of information for owners of model aircraft due to litigation, but Congress reinstated that authority, which required the information collection to revert to its original collection. This is a renewal of that original collection.
