Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: Waivers and
ATC Authorization in Controlled
Airspace Under Part 107
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Department of Transportation invites
public comments about our intention to
request the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval to renew a
previously approved information
collection. The FAA established the
Waivers and ATC Authorization in
Controlled Airspace under Part 107
portal to allow a remote pilot in
command to request a waiver from
regulations or an authorization for a
small unmanned aircraft system (UAS)
to operate in Class B, C, D, and the
lateral boundaries of the surface area of
Class E airspace designated for an
airport.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by April 3, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to the attention of the Desk Officer,
Department of Transportation/FAA, and
sent via electronic mail to oira_
submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to
(202) 395–6974, or mailed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,

PUBLIC COMMENTS INVITED: You are asked
to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
Control Number: 2120–0768.
Title: ATC authorizations in
Controlled Airspace under Part 107.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The Department intends
to submit this information collection to
OMB to request an approval for the
information collection currently titled
‘‘ATC Authorization in Controlled
Airspace under Part 107.’’ The
Department requests approval for a
renewal of this information collection
approval that will include expanding
the information collection to encompass
requests for Waivers under 14 CFR part
107, subpart D, currently approved as
Information Collection 2120–0027,
which covers waivers issued by the
FAA under Part 91. In this information
collection, the Department does not
intend to affect those waivers in any
manner. As a result, the Department
requests approval for information
collections for Part 107 waivers and
airspace authorizations within
Information Collection 2120–0768.
The FAA uses the ATC Authorization
in Controlled Airspace and Waivers
under 14 CFR part 107, subpart D portal
to determine whether the remote pilot
can safely conduct the proposed small
UAS operation in controlled airspace
(Class B, C, D, and Class E surface
areas), and/or whether the remote pilot
can safely operate the small UAS under
the terms of a waiver that authorizes
deviation from a particular regulation.
In this regard, the FAA reviews and
analyzes the information it collects
through the Certificate of Waiver or
Authorization to determine the type and
extent of the intended deviation from
prescribed regulations. The remote pilot
in command will be required to submit
information electronically to the FAA
E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM
02MRN1
12392
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 40 / Thursday, March 2, 2017 / Notices
regarding the operation to be conducted.
Information will include contact
information for the remote pilot in
command, the date and time of the
operation, as well as its anticipated
duration, and the airspace for which the
request is submitted. If the remote pilot
in command wishes to conduct the
same operation on a number of dates/
times, the request will permit multiple
dates/times to be listed to reduce the
number of submissions required.
In general, the FAA will issue a
certificate of waiver or authorization to
deviate to the applicant (individuals
and businesses) if the proposed
operation does not create a hazard to
persons, property, other aircraft, and
includes the operation of unmanned
aircraft. To obtain such a certificate of
waiver, an applicant must submit a
request containing a complete
description of the proposed operation
and a justification, including supporting
data and documentation as necessary
that establishes the operation will not
endanger the national airspace system
or people on the ground. The FAA
expects the amount of data and analysis
required as part of the application will
be proportional to the specific relief the
applicant requests.
Respondents: Approximately 19,000
requests per year.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: .5 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
9,500 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 8,
2017.

examine the industrial policies outlined
in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020)

seek to move Chinese manufacturing up
the value-added chain, establish China
as a global center of innovation and
technology, and ensure China’s longterm productivity in critical dual-use
