Owners of small unmanned aircraft, as
needed, are mandated to report information to this collection. The
FAA would use the telephone number, manufacturer, model, and serial
number to assist with the remote identification of unmanned
aircraft systems. The serial number, which may be transmitted as
the unique identifier of an unmanned aircraft, would help to
identify the aircraft and associate the aircraft with its owner.
The FAA would use the telephone number of the owner to disseminate
safety and security-related information to the registrant. The
additional information collected as part of the small unmanned
aircraft registration system will provide data identifying the
owners of small unmanned aircraft. It will also provide data
specific to the small unmanned aircraft (i.e., manufacturer, model
name, and serial number) regardless of its intended use. It will
also allow the FAA to provide those persons with educational
materials regarding safety of flight in the airspace of the United
States to promote greater accountability and responsibility of
these new users of the airspace. In the Remote Identification rule,
the FAA is proposing to require that all persons registering small
unmanned aircraft under part 48 include the manufacturer, model
name, and serial number of each aircraft as part of the
registration information, regardless of the intended use of the
aircraft. This information would be included on the Certificate of
Aircraft Registration. The FAA uses the manufacturer, model name,
and serial number to assist with the remote identification of
unmanned aircraft systems. The serial number, which could be
transmitted as the unique identifier of an unmanned aircraft,
serves as a means to identify the aircraft, distinguish it from
others flying in the airspace of the United States, and allows the
FAA and law enforcement agencies to correlate remote identification
and registration data.
This collection expands the
information required to be provided for each small unmanned
aircraft being registered. All small unmanned aircraft will now
have the aircraft manufacturer, model name, and serial number
included in the registration information, regardless of the use of
the aircraft. Further, all small unmanned aircraft will be
individually registered with the FAA.
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.
