Section 44809 of Public Law 115–254 allows a person to operate a small unmanned aircraft (UA) without specific certification or operating authority from the FAA if the operation adheres to certain limitations.

    Title: Limited Recreational Unmanned Aircraft Operation 
Applications.
    Form Numbers: Online collection.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Background: In 2018, Congress passed the FAA Reauthorization Act of 
2018 (Pub. L. 115-254). Section 44809 of Public Law 115-254 allows a 
person to operate a small unmanned aircraft (UA) without specific 
certification or operating authority from the FAA if the operation 
adheres to certain limitations. These limitations require the FAA to 
recognize community-based organizations (CBOs), develop and administer 
an aeronautical knowledge and safety test, establish fixed flying 
sites, approve standards and limitations for unmanned aircraft weighing 
more than 55 pounds, and designate FAA Recognized Identification Areas 
(FRIAs).
    The information will be collected online, through the FAA's 
DroneZone website. The information collected will be limited to only 
that necessary for the FAA to complete a review of an application under 
the following statutory requirements:

 Sec.  44809(c)(1), Operations at Fixed Sites
 Sec.  44809(c)(2)(a), Standards and Limitations--UA Weighing 
More Than 55 Pounds
 Sec.  44809(c)(2)(b), Operations at Fixed Sites--UA Weighing 
More Than 55 Pounds
 Sec.  44809(g)(1), Aeronautical Knowledge and Safety Test
 Sec.  44809(i), Recognition of Community-Based Organizations

    Respondents: Individuals and organizations operating under the 
Exception for Limited Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft who 
wish to be recognized as CBOs, administer the aeronautical knowledge 
and safety test, establish fixed flying sites, have standards and 
limitations for unmanned aircraft weighing more than 55 pounds 
approved, and establish designated FRIAs.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies depending on the type 
of stakeholder application. Fixed flying site applications (including 
more than 55 pound UAS and FRIA) are estimated to take 0.5 hours per 
applicant. CBO recognition and more than 55 pound UAS standards and 
limitations applications are estimated to take 1.0 hours per applicant.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Varies depending on the type of 
stakeholder application. CBO recognition and more than 55 pound UAS 
standards and limitations applications are not recurring, resulting in 
a one-time annual burden of 1 hour per application. Fixed flying site 
applications are required to be updated/renewed annually, resulting in 
a total annual burden of 0.5 hours per year.
    The FAA estimates 25 CBO recognition/more than 55 pound UAS 
standards and limitations applications in the first year, totaling 25 
hours. Fixed flying site applications (including more than 55 pound UAS 
and FRIA) are expected to number around 200 applications per year, 
totaling 100 hours.
