SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2120-0764.
    Title: B4UFLY Smartphone App.
    Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on November 24, 2015 (80 FR 73265). Public Law 112-95, 
Section 336 requires model aircraft operators to notify the airport 
operator and air traffic control tower (if one is located at the 
airport) prior to operating within 5 miles of an airport. The FAA's 
B4UFLY smartphone app will provide situational awareness of flight 
restrictions--including locations of airports, restricted airspace, 
special use airspaces, and temporary flight restrictions--based on a 
user's current or planned flight location. In order to maintain NAS 
safety in proximity to airports, air traffic control personnel would 
need certain basic information about a UAS operator's intended flight 
in order to assess whether the UAS may disrupt or endanger manned air 
traffic.
    Respondents: Approximately 1000 beta testers.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 2 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,485 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 27, 2016.
Ronda Thompson,
FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Performance, Policy & 
Records Management Branch, ASP-110.
