Title: Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems over People.
Form Numbers: N/A.
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 April 2, 2024 (89 FR 22764). Under the authority of 49
U.S.C. 44807, the FAA is requiring that persons submit a means of
compliance or declaration of compliance for FAA-acceptance to
demonstrate compliance with the requirements in 14 CFR part 107,
supbart D for small UAS operations over people. Persons may submit a
means of compliance by providing the information required in part 107
to the email address listed on the FAA website at <a href="http://uasdoc.faa.gov">uasdoc.faa.gov</a>.
Persons may submit a declaration of compliance using the online form at
<a href="http://uasdoc.faa.gov">uasdoc.faa.gov</a>. Persons must also develop remote pilot operating
instructions and provide labels for small UAS with a declaration of
compliance for operations in Category 2 or 3 of part 107, subpart D.
Operators of small UAS issued an airworthiness certificate under 14 CFR
part 21 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.
Respondents: Any person can submit a means of compliance for FAA
acceptance. Manufacturers and persons who design or modify a small UAS
to meet the requirements of part 107, subpart D, can submit a
declaration of compliance. The FAA estimates that a total of 8 means of
compliance and declarations of compliance will be submitted per year.
Persons who submit a declaration of compliance for small UAS operated
in Categories 2 or 3 are required to develop remote pilot operating
instructions and label their small UAS in accordance with the
requirements in part 107. Operators of small UAS that have a part 21
airworthiness certificate must retain certain maintenance records when
operated under part 107, subpart D.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: For submission of means of
compliance or declaration of compliance: 50 hours per response. For
remote pilot operating instructions: 150 hours per response. For
labelling of small UAS: 2 hours per response. For part 107, Category 4
maintenance records: 1 hour per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: For means of compliance and
declarations of compliance, the FAA estimates a total of 8 means of
compliance and declarations of compliance submitted per year for an
annual burden of 400 hours. The FAA estimates there will be one re-
submission of a declaration of compliance for a total of 50 hours. For
remote pilot operating instructions, the FAA estimates 8 instructions
developed per year, for a total annual burden of 1,200 hours. For
unmanned aircraft labels, the FAA estimates 8 labels designed per year,
for a total annual burden of 16 hours. For part 107, Category 4
maintenance records, the FAA estimates 100 records per year, for a
total annual burden of 100 hours.
