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.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on July 31, 2024 (89 FR 61575). 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. The
regulations at 14 CFR 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 November 1, 2024.
Joseph Morra,
Manager, Emerging Technologies Division, AFS-700.
