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

SUMMARY: This document notifies the public of the Office of Management 
and Budget's (OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement 
contained in the FAA's interim final rule, Registration and Marking 
Requirements for Small Unmanned Aircraft, which was published on 
December 16, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 16, 2015, the Department of 
Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration published the 
interim final rule Registration and Marking Requirements for Small 
Unmanned Aircraft (80 FR 78593). That rule provided an alternative, 
streamlined and simple, web-based aircraft registration process for the 
registration of small unmanned aircraft, including small unmanned 
aircraft operated as model aircraft, to facilitate compliance with the 
statutory requirement that all aircraft register prior to operation.
    That rule contained an information collection, Registration of 
Small Unmanned Aircraft. That information collection requirement had 
not been approved by OMB at the time of publication of the interim 
final rule.
    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a 
copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its 
review. OMB approved the collection on December 16, 2015, and assigned 
the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0765. This final 
rule provides the control number of that information collection and 
adds the information collection to the list of FAA's approved 
information collections in 14 CFR part 11.
