    Title: Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s).
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 7140-1.
    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 January 29, 2021 (86 FR 7611).
    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. Those 
applying for an FDA variance (using and per FDA Form 3147), must make 
advance written notification as early as possible to FAA for any 
projections into open airspace at any time. To notify FAA of a proposed 
outdoor laser operation, proponents complete and submit FAA Form 7140-
1, Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s), to FAA. FAA Form 
7140-1 is the approved method for collecting information required to 
process submissions from proponents intending to project into open 
airspace.
    FAA received one comment from two contributing authors. The comment 
supported past changes made to the technical aspects of FAA Form 7140-1 
and raised multiple points with suggestions to improve, notably: 
Defining regulatory authority, when to submit a form, combining the 
form within another document, and clarifying language on the form. FAA 
appreciates the time taken by the authors to comment, acknowledges the 
suggestions, and intends to revise FAA Form 7140-1 to improve clarity.
    Respondents: Approximately 603 laser operations.
    Frequency: One time per laser operation.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 240 minutes or 
4 hours per form.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 2,412 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2021.

Acting Manager, Rules and Regulations Group.
