Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on December 22, 2023. The collection involves the gathering of information necessary for the FAA to ensure proposed outdoor laser operations will not interfere with air traffic operations. The information to be collected will be used to and/or is necessary because the FAA must evaluate proposed outdoor laser operations requiring a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) variance from Federal regulations for a laser light show, display, or device.

OMB Control Number: 2120-0662.
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 December 22, 2023 (88 FR 88700). 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 using FDA Form 3147. In order
to obtain a variance from 21 CFR 1040.11(c) for a laser light show,
display, or device (as described on FDA Form 3147); advance written
notification must be made as early as possible to appropriate federal,
state, and local authorities providing show itinerary with dates and
locations clearly and completely identified, and a basic description of
the proposed effects including a statement of the maximum power output
intended. Such notifications must be made, but not necessarily be
limited, to the FAA for any projections into open airspace at any time
(e.g., set up, alignment, rehearsals, and performances). If the FAA
objects to any laser effects, the objections will be resolved and any
conditions requested by FAA will be adhered to. If these conditions
cannot be met, the objectionable effects will be deleted from the show.
FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 70-1B with Change 1, Outdoor Laser
Operations, provides information for those proponents planning to
conduct outdoor laser operations that may affect aircraft operations in
the United States (U.S.) National Airspace System (NAS).\1\
Additionally, the AC explains the necessity to notify the FAA, how to
notify the FAA of the planned laser operation, and any action the FAA
will take to respond to such notifications. Further, the AC includes
instructions for completing FAA Form 7140-1, Notice of Proposed Outdoor
Laser Operation(s).
