Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 212 / Friday, November 3, 2017 / Notices
ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Title: Small Unmanned Aircraft
Registration System (sUAS).
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The Secretary of the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
and the Administrator of the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) affirmed
that all unmanned aircraft are aircraft.
As such, in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
44101(a) and as further prescribed in 14
CFR part 47, registration is required
prior to operation. See 80 FR 63912,
63913 (October 22, 2015), except for
those model aircraft operating
exclusively in compliance with section
336 of Public Law 112–95. Aircraft
registration is necessary to ensure
personal accountability among all users
of the national airspace system. Aircraft
registration also allows the FAA and
law enforcement agencies to address
non-compliance by providing the means
by which to identify an aircraft’s owner
and operator.
Subject to certain exceptions
discussed below, aircraft must be
registered prior to operation. See 49
U.S.C. 44101–44103. Upon registration,
the Administrator must issue a
certificate of registration to the aircraft
owner. See 49 U.S.C. 44103
Registration, however, does not
provide the authority to operate.
Persons intending to operate a small
unmanned aircraft exclusively as model
aircraft must operate in compliance
with section 336 of Public Law 112–95,
and as discussed below, are not required
to register. Persons intending to operate
their small unmanned aircraft not
exclusively in compliance with section
336 must operate in accordance with
part 107 or part 91, in accordance with
a waiver issued under part 107, in
accordance with an exemption issued
under 14 CFR part 11 (including those
persons operating under an exemption
issued pursuant to section 333 of Public
Law 112–95), or in conjunction with the
issuance of a special airworthiness
certificate, and are required to register.
As a result of the May 19, 2017 ruling
by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit (Taylor v.
Huerta), the Small UAS Registration and
Marking interim final rule was vacated
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
to the extent it applies to model aircraft.
Model aircraft must meet the definition
and operational requirements provided
in section 336 of the FAA
Modernization and Reform Act. Owners
who are operating exclusively in
compliance with section 336 who wish
to delete their registration and receive a
refund of the registration fee may do so
by requesting registration deletion from
the FAA, which requires the FAA to
collect their payment information.
Respondents: Approximately 1.6
million affected sUAS registrations and
deregistrations annually. Additionally,
the FAA estimates based on responses
so far (700,000) that approximately
0.5% [3,500] of the owners who are
registered and are operating in
compliance with section 336 will delete
their registrations.
Frequency: Information is collected
on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 5 minutes per response to
register, 3 minutes per response deregister, and 2 minutes per response to
delete registrations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
About 135,000 hours for registration and
deregistration, and about 117 hours for
registration deletion.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 26,
2017.
