SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
OMB Control Number: 2120–XXXX.
Title: Privacy International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) Address
Program.
Form Numbers: Not applicable.
Type of Review: New information
collection.
Background: In 2010, the FAA issued
a final rule mandating equipage
requirements and performance
standards for Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS–B) Out
avionics on aircraft operating in certain
airspace after December 31, 2019.
Aircraft operators must be equipped
with ADS–B Out to fly in most
controlled airspace. Federal Regulations
14 CFR 91.225 and 14 CFR 91.227
contain requirement details. Each
registered aircraft is assigned an aircraft
registration number and an ICAO 24-bit
aircraft address. This is also referred to
E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM
22AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 163 / Thursday, August 22, 2019 / Notices
as a ‘‘Mode S Code’’ in some FAA
documents and websites, including the
FAA Aircraft Registry. Where a 1090MHz Extended Squitter (1090ES)
transponder is required for ADS–B Out
compliance, this ICAO 24-bit aircraft
address, based on current transponder
avionics standards, is openly
broadcasted on the 1090 MHz frequency
in transponder replies and ADS–B
messages. Subsequently, the nature of
openly broadcasting makes the identity
of the aircraft publicly available.
Industry stakeholders have long
suggested that FAA develop a process
for aircraft operators who seek
anonymity such that their aircraft
movements and identity cannot be
traced or seen by privately owned
sensors that monitor the 1090 MHz
frequency and combine this with other
downlinked ADS–B and Mode S data
being disseminated using the internet.
The FAA intends to develop a process
for operators who wish to mask their
aircraft movements and identity for a
period of time while flying within the
sovereign airspace of the United States.
Participation in the assignment of
privacy ICAO Code addresses is
voluntary. However, the FAA must
collect the operator’s information in
order to assign privacy ICAO addresses.
It is envisioned that required data
collected will be:
• Aircraft registration number
• Permanent ICAO address
• Aircraft owner’s information to
include:
Æ Phone number
Æ Email address
Æ Home/business (physical) address
Only U.S. registered aircraft can be
assigned a privacy ICAO aircraft
address. No operator can use a privacy
ICAO aircraft address for a U.S.registered aircraft unless that operator is
authorized to use a third-party flight
identification for that same aircraft. No
unique privacy ICAO address will be
assigned to more than one U.S.registered aircraft at any given time.
Once approved, the operator will be
assigned a privacy ICAO address.
The operator will be required to notify
the FAA when their avionics have been
loaded with the assigned temporary
ICAO 24-bit aircraft address. Owners
and operators must verify that the ICAO
24-bit aircraft address (Mode S code)
broadcast by their ADS–B equipment
matches the assigned privacy ICAO
address for their aircraft. Operators can
verify what ICAO 24-bit aircraft address
is being broadcast by their aircraft by
visiting: https://adsbperformance.faa
.gov/PAPRRequest.aspx.
For monitoring privacy ICAO address
use, the information will be

downloaded by the FAA and entered

Monitor [Docket No. FAA–2017–1194
published in Federal Register,
December 20, 2017, as Document
Number: 2017–27202].
Respondents: Intended for operators
who seek anonymity such that their
aircraft movements and identity cannot
be easily traced or seen by privately
owned sensors that monitor the 1090
MHz frequency. FAA estimates up to
15,000 respondents.
Frequency: On occasion. An operator
can change privacy ICAO aircraft
addresses, but no more often than once
every 30 days.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 20–25
minutes per application.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
Approximately 14,583 hours.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about their
intention to request Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of a new web-based tool to
assist aircraft operators in achieving
regulatory compliance. Depending on
the specific nature of the operator’s
route of flight, varying levels of
information are necessary for the FAA
to process pre-flight availability
predictions for navigation and
surveillance, and, if needed, an ATC
authorization request via this web-based
tool. This collection involves planned
routes of flight, aircraft avionics
equipment, and may require identifying
information about the requester. The
PO 00000

information collected will be used to
predict whether an aircraft flying the
proposed route of flight will have
sufficient position accuracy and
integrity for:
(1) Navigation, via the Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
(RAIM) SAPT
(2) Surveillance, via the Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast
(ADS–B) SAPT
In addition, the website will allow
operators to request authorization from
ATC to operate aircraft that do not fully
meet ADS–B Out requirements in rule
airspace (per 14 CFR 91.225 and
91.227), which requires ADS–B Out via:
