SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)

the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0782.
Title: Identification of Foreign-Registered Civil Unmanned Aircraft
Operating in the United States.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The unmanned aircraft remote identification operating
requirements in title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 89 apply to
persons operating foreign civil unmanned aircraft in the United States.
The FAA must be able to correlate the remote identification message
elements broadcast by foreign civil unmanned aircraft operated in the
United States against information that helps FAA and law enforcement
identify a person responsible for the operation of the foreign civil
unmanned aircraft. Where unmanned aircraft are registered in a foreign
jurisdiction, the FAA may not have access to information regarding the
unmanned aircraft or its registered owner. Thus, the FAA is allowing a
person to operate foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft with
remote identification in the United States only if the person submits a
notice of identification to the Administrator in accordance with title
14 Code of Federal Regulations Sec. 89.130. The notice can be
submitted online using the notice of identification form in FAA Drone
Zone (<a href="https://faadronezone.faa.gov/">https://faadronezone.faa.gov/</a>). The
[[Page 76269]]
notice includes the following information to allow FAA to associate an
unmanned aircraft to a responsible person:
(1) An indication whether the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States is an
organization or an individual.
(2) The name of the person operating the foreign registered civil
unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if applicable, the
person's authorized representative.
(3) The physical address of the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the physical address for the person's authorized
representative. If the operator or authorized representative does not
receive mail at the physical address, a mailing address must also be
provided.
(4) The telephone number(s) where the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the person's authorized representative can be reached while
in the United States.
(5) The email address of the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the email address of the person's authorized
representative.
(6) An indication whether the unmanned aircraft is a standard
remote identification unmanned aircraft or has a remote identification
broadcast module.
(7) The unmanned aircraft manufacturer and model name.
(8) The serial number of the unmanned aircraft or remote
identification broadcast module.
(8) The country of registration of the unmanned aircraft.
(10) The registration number.
Once a person submits an online notice of identification, the FAA
will issue a confirmation of identification. A person operating a
foreign-registered unmanned aircraft in the United States must maintain
the confirmation of identification at the unmanned aircraft's control
station and must produce it when requested by the FAA or a law
enforcement officer.
The holder of a confirmation of identification must ensure the
information provided under Sec. 89.130(a) remains accurate and is
updated prior to operating a foreign registered civil unmanned aircraft
with remote identification in the United States. The confirmation of
identification expires after one year and can be cancelled or renewed
online at FAA Drone Zone.
Respondents: Operators of foreign-registered civil unmanned
aircraft with remote identification, as needed (prior to operating in
the airspace of the United States) are mandated to report information
to this collection. The FAA uses information provided by operators of
foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft operating in the airspace of
the United States to identify those aircraft.
Frequency: As needed prior to operation of a foreign-registered
civil unmanned aircraft in the United States.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 minutes per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6 minutes per respondent, 797 hours
per year total for all respondents.
Issued in Washington, DC on November 1, 2023.

Manager, Emerging Technologies Division, AFS-700.
