In accordance with the

Department of Transportation proposes
to issue a Department of Transportation
system of records titled, ‘‘Department of
Transportation Federal Aviation
Administration; DOT/FAA854 Requests
for Waivers and Authorizations Under
14 CFR part 107.’’ On June 28, 2016 the
FAA issued a Final Rule setting forth
standards for operation and certification
of small unmanned aircraft systems
(hereinafter, ‘‘small UAS’’). RIN 2120–
AJ60.
Small UAS operators may request
waivers of operational rules applicable
to small UAS, requirements such as the
requirement to maintain visual line of
sight and yield right of way to manned
aircraft, as well as prohibitions on
operations over people and in certain
airspace. Small UAS operators who
determine to seek a waiver or
authorization must request such by
electronically completing a form on the
FAA Web site or by mailing a completed
paper form to the FAA. The forms will
contain: aircraft operator name; aircraft
owner name; name of person requesting
a waiver or authorization; contact
information for person applying for
waiver or authorization: mailing
address, telephone number, and email
address of person submitting
application for waiver or authorization;
responses to inquiries concerning the
applicant’s previous and current
waivers; remote pilot in command
name; contact information for remote
pilot in command: address and
telephone number; remote pilot in
command certificate number; aircraft
manufacturer name and model; aircraft
registration number; regulations subject
to waiver or authorization; requested
date and time operations will
commence and conclude under waiver
or authorization; requested altitude
applicable to the waiver or
authorization; description of proposed
operations. In addition to the entries on
the completed form, the applicant may
provide additional information, such as
maps, illustrations, specifications, or
other items the applicant would like the
FAA to consider. After reviewing the
information the applicant provides, the
FAA will determine whether it can
assure safety in the national airspace
when granting the waiver; often, such
grants will include provisions to which
the requester must adhere, to mitigate
the risk associated with the waiver.
The final rule prohibits operation of
small UAS in Class B, Class C, or Class
D airspace, as well as operation within
the lateral boundaries of the surface area
of Class E airspace designated for an
airport unless the person has prior
