Title: Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Safety Event
Reporting.
Form Numbers: N/A (web portal: <a href="https://faadronezone.faa.gov">https://faadronezone.faa.gov</a>).
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
[[Page 61576]]
Background: The title of this information collection is being
changed from ``Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Accident
Reporting'' to ``Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Safety Event
Reporting'' to reflect the change made to the title of the applicable
regulation (14 CFR, 107.9) in 2022. 14 CFR part 107.9 requires that a
small unmanned aircraft system safety event be reported if it causes:
(1) serious injury to any person or any loss of consciousness; or (2)
damage to any property, other than the small unmanned aircraft, unless
the cost of repair or fair market value in the event of total loss does
not exceed $500. The information collected by the FAA through its
DroneZone web portal, Flight Standards District Offices, one of the
Regional Operations Centers, or the Washington Operations Center for
each small UAS safety event will be used to investigate and determine
regulatory compliance. In addition, the safety event information will
go into the FAA aircraft accident database for safety analysis purposes
by the FAA Office of Accident Investigation and Analysis, pursuant to
its statutory safety mission.
As is currently the case for manned aircraft accidents, small UAS
safety event data will be made available to the public and the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Respondents: Small Unmanned Aircraft System operators that
experience a safety event that must be reported to the FAA per 14 CFR,
107.9. Approximately 41 per year.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10.25 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 26, 2024.
Joseph Morra,
Manager, Emerging Technologies Division, AFS-700.
