Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a Renewal of an 

Information Collection: Operational 

Waivers for Small Unmanned Aircraft 

Systems 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Renewal notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval for a renewal of information 

collection. The FAA must continue 

collecting information about requests for 

waivers from certain operational rules 

that apply to small unmanned aircraft 

systems (sUAS). The FAA will continue 

to use the collected information to make 

determinations whether to authorize or 

deny the requested operations of sUAS. 

The information collected is necessary 

to issue such authorizations or denials 

consistent with the FAA’s mandate to 

ensure safe and efficient use of national 

airspace. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a)

OMB Control Number: 2120–0796. 

Title: Operational Waivers for Small 

Unmanned Aircraft Systems. 

Form Numbers: N/A (Online Portal). 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Background: The FAA is seeing 

increased complexity of small 

unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) 

operation flying under 14 CFR part 107. 

Under 14 CFR 107.205, operators of 

small UAS continue to request waivers 

from certain operational rules. In 2018, 

the FAA updated and modernized the 

process for applying for such waivers by 

introducing the FAADroneZone 

website. These improvements have 

facilitated the process of collecting and 

submitting the information required as 

part of a waiver application. In 2021, 

recognizing the demand to expedite the 

integration of unmanned aircraft 

systems (UAS) into the National 

Airspace System (NAS), the FAA 

revised the regulatory framework for 

safely integrating UAS into routine NAS 

operations. The was accomplished by 

publishing the ‘‘Operation of Small 

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over 

People’’ rule in January, 2021, which 

permitted routine operations of small 

unmanned aircraft over people and at 

night under certain conditions. This 

change significantly decreased the 

waiver requests for such operations by 

over 55%. The reporting burdens for 

operational waiver applications are 

currently covered by Information 

Collection Request (ICR) 2120–0768. As 

part of this effort, the FAA is renewing 

this ICR, for operational waiver 

applications only. In order to process 

operational waiver requests, the FAA 

requires the operator’s name, the 

operator’s contact information, and 

information related to the date, place, 

and time of the requested small UAS 

operation. Additional information is 

required related to the proposed waiver 

and any necessary mitigations. The FAA 

will use the requested information to 

determine if the proposed UAS 

operation can be conducted safely. This 

information is necessary for the FAA to 

meet its statutory mandate of 

maintaining a safe and efficient national 

airspace. See 49 U.S.C. 40103, 44701 

and 44807. 

Respondents: sUAS 107 Waiver 

Applications: 3,565 per year. 

Frequency: On occasion. For 

operational waivers requests, a 

respondent provides the information 

once, at the time of the request for a 

waiver. If granted, operational waivers 

may be valid for up to four (4) years. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 0.65 hours per response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,317 hours. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on December 

29, 2023.
