Abstract: Operators of foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft, as needed (prior to operating in the airspace of the United States) are mandated to report information to this collection. The FAA would use information provided by operators of foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft operating in the airspace of the United States to identify those aircraft. As described previously, the FAA would use the information collected to identify foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft operating in the airspace of the United States. The filing of the notice of identification and the issuance of a confirmation of identification would not have the effect of U.S. aircraft registration.
