[Docket No. FAA-2020-0926]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Notice of 
Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The collection involves the gathering of information 
necessary for the FAA to ensure proposed outdoor laser operations will 
not interfere with air traffic operations. The information to be 
collected will be used to and/or is necessary because the FAA must 
evaluate proposed outdoor laser operations requiring a Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) variance from a laser light show, display, or 
device.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 30, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into 
search field).
    By mail: 800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: 
Manager, Airspace Rules and Regulations, AJV-P21.
    By fax: 202-267-9328.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0662.
    Title: Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s).
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 7140-1.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: No laser light show, projection system, or device may 
vary from compliance with 21 CFR 1040.11(c) in design or use without 
the approval of an application for variance in accordance with 21 CFR 
1010.4 using FDA Form 3147. In order to obtain a variance from 21 CFR 
1040.11(c) for a laser light show, display, or device (as described on 
FDA Form 3147); advance written notification must be made as early as 
possible to appropriate federal, state, and local authorities providing 
show itinerary with dates and locations clearly and completely 
identified, and a basic description of the proposed effects including a 
statement of the maximum power output intended. Such notifications must 
be made, but not necessarily be limited, to the FAA for any projections 
into open airspace at any time (i.e., including set up, alignment, 
rehearsals, performances, etc.). If the FAA objects to any laser 
effects, the objections will be resolved and any conditions requested 
by FAA will be adhered to. If these conditions cannot be met, the 
objectionable effects will be deleted from the show.
    FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 70-1A, Outdoor Laser Operations, 
provides information for those proponents planning to conduct outdoor 
laser operations that may affect aircraft operations in the United 
States (U.S.) National Airspace System (NAS). In addition, FAA AC 70-1A 
explains the necessity to notify the FAA, how to notify the FAA of the 
planned laser operation, and any action the FAA will take to respond to 
such notifications. Furthermore, AC 70-1A includes instructions for 
completing the requisite FAA Form 7140-1, Notice of Proposed Outdoor 
Laser Operation(s).
    Respondents: Approximately 603 laser operations.
    Frequency: One time per laser operation.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately four hours per 
form.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 2,412 hours.
