Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves operators and owners of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) issued an airworthiness certificate and mandates that these entities must retain records of all maintenance performed on their aircraft and records documenting the status of life- limited parts, compliance with airworthiness directives, and inspection status of the aircraft. These records are used to validate that aircraft are maintained in a manner that ensures the reliability associated with having an airworthiness certificate and that the operations-over-people privileges afforded to category 4 operations continue to be appropriate. The owner or operator may keep these records electronically or by paper.

OMB Control Number: 2120-0775.
Title: Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems over People.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: Under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 44807, the FAA is
requiring that owners and operators of small UAS issued an
airworthiness certificate under 14 CFR part 21 retain records of all
maintenance performed on their aircraft and records documenting the
status of life-limited parts, compliance with airworthiness directives,
and inspection status of the aircraft. The records must be kept for the
time specified in Sec. 107.140, and they must be available to the FAA
and law enforcement personnel upon request. The owner may keep these
records electronically or on paper.
Respondents: The FAA estimates that an average of two owners per
year will be subject to this recordkeeping requirement. The FAA further
estimates that each of those owners operates a fleet of 100 UAS.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The FAA estimates that
creation and retention of these records would require 30 minutes per
UAS.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 100 hours per year, based on an
estimate of 2 owners per year, each owning 100 UAS and spending 30
minutes per UAS.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 28, 2024.

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