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)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
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: 2120-0027.
Title: Application for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization.
Form Numbers: FAA form 7711-2.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The information collected by FAA Form 7711-2,
Application for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization, is reviewed and
analyzed by the FAA to determine the type and extent of the intended
deviation from prescribed regulations. A certificate of waiver or
authorization to deviate is generally issued to the applicant
(individuals and businesses) if the proposed operation does not create
a hazard to persons, property, or other aircraft, and includes the
operation of unmanned aircraft. Applications for certificates of waiver
to the provisions of parts 91 and 101 are made by using FAA Form 7711-
2. Application for authorization to make parachute jumps (other than
emergency or military operations) under part 105, section 105.15
(airshows and meets) also uses FAA Form 7711-2. Application for other
types of parachute jumping activities are submitted in various ways;
e.g., in writing, in person, by telephone, etc.
Persons authorized to deviate from provisions of part 101 are
required to give notice of actual activities. Persons operating in
accordance with the provisions of part 101 are also required to give
notice of actual activities. In both instances, the notice of
information required is the same. Therefore, the burden associated with
applications for certificates of waiver or authorization and the burden
associated with notices of actual aircraft activities are identified
and included in this request for clearance.
Regarding operation of small unmanned aircraft systems under part
107, to obtain a certificate of waiver, an applicant will have to
submit a request containing a complete description of the proposed
operation and a justification, including supporting data and
documentation as necessary that establishes that the proposed operation
can safely be conducted under the terms of a certificate of waiver. The
FAA expects that the amount of data and analysis required as part of
the application will be proportional to the specific relief that is
requested.
Respondents: 26,495, including approximately 5,500 annual
[[Page 84872]]
applications for waivers from certain sections of part 107.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 45 minutes for non-part 107
waivers; 45.7 hours for part 107 waivers.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 19,871 hours (not-part 107) +
251,520 (part 107) = 271,391 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 30, 2023.

Aviation Safety Analyst, Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and
Commercial Division.
