Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on March 1, 2016 (81 FR 10702). There 

were no comments. The Secretary of the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

and the Administrator of the Federal

affirmed that all unmanned aircraft, 

including model aircraft, are aircraft. As 

such, in accordance with 49 U.S.C.

CFR part 47, registration is required 

prior to operation. See 80 FR 63912, 

63913 (October 22, 2015). Aircraft 

registration is necessary to ensure 

personal accountability among all users 

of the national airspace system. See id. 

Aircraft registration also allows the FAA 

and law enforcement agencies to 

address non-compliance by providing 

the means by which to identify an 

aircraft’s owner and operator. 

Respondents: Approximately 1.9 

million registrants annually. 

Frequency: Information is collected 

on occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 4.25 minutes.
