Abstract: Unmanned aircraft with remote identification are mandated to broadcast the remote identification message elements addressed in this supporting statement, on occasion (when the unmanned aircraft with remote identification is operated in the airspace of the United States). This requires the disclosure of information about the unmanned aircraft. The remote identification message elements that operators are required to broadcast under this rule are considered publicly accessible information as they may be available to the public. The remote identification message elements broadcast directly from the unmanned can be received by anyone who has equipment, such as a personal wireless device, that can receive broadcast messages. 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 is in the location of manned aircraft. As the disclosure required by this information collection is automated, the time burden for compliance is zero hours. The information broadcast in the message elements will be used by the FAA and other Federal partners to provide airspace awareness of unmanned aircraft 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.
