The respondents to this collection are airmen and aircraft operators, and responding to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit. This collection consists only of reporting, and does not include any recordkeeping or disclosure requirements. Responses are submitted as needed. The information collected by FAA Form 7711-2, Application for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization, is reviewed and analyzed by FAA to determine the type and extent of the intended deviation from prescribed regulations. A certificate of waiver or authorization to deviate is generally issued to the applicant (individuals and businesses) if the proposed operation does not create a hazard to person, property, other aircraft, and includes the operation of unmanned aircraft. Applications for certificates of waiver to the provisions of Parts 91 and 101 are made by using FAA Form 7711-2. Application for authorization to make parachute jumps (other than emergency or military operations) under Part 105, Section 105.15 (airshows and meets) also uses FAA Form 7711-2. Application for other types of parachute jumping activities are submitted in various ways; e.g., in writing, in person, by telephone, etc.
Persons authorized to deviate from provisions of Part 101 are required to give notice of actual activities. Persons operating in accordance with the provisions of Part 101 are also required to give notice of actual activities. In both instances, the notice of information required is the same. Therefore, the burden associated with applications for certificates of waiver or authorization and the burden associated with notices of actual aircraft activities are identified and included in this request for clearance.
If this information collection was not conducted, FAA would not be able to grant certificates of waiver or authorization for the above mentioned activities. Additionally, the FAA would be unable to control and maintain the consistently high level of civil aviation safety we enjoy.

The FAA costs for this ICR have increased slightly, because a different load factor was used, and the wage rates were updated to 2020. In addition, this ICR no longer includes waivers under part 107, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, because that burden is now covered by 2120-0768. There is also a de minimis reduction in the total number of responses resulting from the correction of a calculation error.
