Abstract: Persons submitting means of compliance for acceptance by the FAA (e.g., individuals, standards setting organizations, designers of remote identification unmanned aircraft or broadcast modules); persons submitting declarations of compliance for acceptance by the FAA (i.e., producers of remote identification unmanned aircraft or broadcast modules) and; persons responsible for the labeling of unmanned aircraft systems (i.e., producers of the remote identification unmanned aircraft or broadcast module), are, as needed, mandated to report, record keep, and disclose information for this collection. The FAA will use the means of compliance as a way for persons responsible for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules to demonstrate compliance with the performance requirements for standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules. The FAA will use the declaration of compliance to determine that the person responsible for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules has demonstrated compliance with the production requirements for standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules. The labeling requirement will assist the FAA, and owners or operators of unmanned aircraft to determine whether the standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module meets the rule’s remote identification requirements. The information collection requirements apply to any person requesting acceptance of a means of compliance or a declaration of compliance. This includes persons responsible for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules for operation in the airspace of the United States.
