Unmanned aircraft systems with remote identification are mandated to broadcast and transmit through an internet connection to a Remote ID USS the remote identification message elements addressed in this supporting statement, on occasion (when the unmanned aircraft system with remote identification is operated in the airspace of the United States). This requires unmanned aircraft system: disclosure; and Remote ID USS: recordkeeping and reporting.
The remote identification message elements would be sent from the UAS to the Remote ID USS over the internet. The Remote ID USS would, in turn, transmit the information collected to the FAA, as required. To implement remote identification, the FAA anticipates establishing a cooperative data exchange mechanism between the FAA and Remote ID USS.
The information transmitted in the message elements would be used by the FAA and other Federal partners to provide airspace awareness of UAS operations in the airspace of the United States, which could be used to distinguish compliant airspace users from those potentially posing a safety or security risk. The same information would be broadcast from standard remote identification unmanned aircraft.
The remote identification message elements that operators would be required to transmit under this rule would be considered publicly accessible information. To ensure safety in the airspace of the United States, the FAA may require access to the remote identification message elements transmitted by UAS with remote identification to Remote ID USS. This request may take the form of an individual query or a continuous connection to the Remote ID USS. In addition, the FAA anticipates providing that information, as necessary and when appropriate, to other airspace users, authorized Federal Government partners, and law enforcement entities. Upon request, a Remote ID USS would be required to provide the FAA: (1) the near real-time remote identification message elements that meet the minimum message element performance requirements; and (2) stored remote identification data.
The remote identification message elements transmitted through an internet connection to a remote ID USS by a standard remote identification UAS or limited remote identification UAS, and broadcast by a standard remote identification UAS, may be available to the general public. Remote ID USS would be required to provide to the public, for no cost, the UAS Identification message element, either the unmanned aircraftâs serial number or the session ID assigned by the Remote ID USS. The FAA considers that there is no more inherent right to privacy in the physical location of either the unmanned aircraft or the control station than there would be in the location of manned aircraft.
US Code:
49 USC 448
Name of Law: Unmanned Aircraft Systems
This new collection of information would provide airspace awareness to enable the FAA, national security agencies, and law enforcement entities, which could be used to distinguish compliant airspace users from those potentially posing a safety or security risk.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
