where and when these activities are
conducted. The Proposed Action is
needed to address training delays and
flight safety issues (e.g., near-midair
collisions) that have occurred when
nonparticipating aircraft have entered
the airspace when MCMWTC training
activities were being conducted. This
would result in enhanced flight safety
for all pilots (civilian, commercial, and
military) while enhancing the capability
of MCMWTC to support critically
required aviation and ground training.
The proposed MOAs and continued use
of the existing airspace are needed to
enable military forces to train in an
environment that is representative of
realistic combat conditions.
Specifically, the MCMWTC training
areas and programs are imperative to the
USMC and Joint Service mountain
warfare readiness.
The Proposed Action was developed
by the USMC to improve flight safety;
accommodate joint use for reasonable
and timely access to underlying public
or private land; not impede public
safety access for firefighting and other
emergency services; support FAA
Oakland Air Route Traffic Control
Center’s computer system and meet all
FAA requirements; and not impact
existing air traffic control assigned
airspace.
Implementation
After evaluating the aeronautical
study and the EA, the FAA has issued
a FONSI/ROD to establish two MOAs.
The Walker Low MOA would be
established from the surface to, but not
including, 13,500 feet MSL, and would
be activated for up to 100 days per year
for approximately 15 hours per day. The
Walker High MOA would be established
from 13,500 feet MSL to, but not
including, FL180 (18,000 feet MSL), and
would be activated for up to 40 days per
year for approximately 12 hours per
day. These MOAs would exclude
airspace from the surface to 3,000 feet
above ground level (AGL) over
wilderness areas. A NOTAM would be
published at least four hours in advance
of activation.
In accordance with Section 102 of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA), the Council on
Environmental Quality’s (CEQ)
regulations for implementing NEPA (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and other
applicable authorities (including FAA
Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 8–2,
and FAA Order JO 7400.2M, Procedures
for Handling Airspace Matters,
paragraph 32–2–3), the FAA has
conducted an independent review and
evaluation of the USMC’s EA, dated
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:01 Mar 30, 2020
Jkt 250001
November 4, 2019. As a cooperating
agency with responsibility for approving
SUA under 49 U.S.C. 40103(b)(3)(A), the
FAA provided subject matter expertise
and coordinated with the USMC during
the environmental review process.
The USMC provided the Draft EA for
public review from December 12, 2018,
to January 26, 2019, and no comments
were received.
The FONSI/ROD and EA are available
upon request by contacting Paula Miller

Certificate of Waiver or Authorization
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. This collection affects
persons who have a need to deviate
from certain regulations that govern use
of airspace within the United States.
The request also describes the burden
associated with authorizations to make
parachute jumps and operate unmanned
aircraft (including moored balloons,
kites, unmanned rockets, and
unmanned free balloons) and small
unmanned aircraft systems
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by June 1, 2020.

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: 2120–0027.
Title: Application for Certificate of
Waiver or Authorization.
Form Numbers: FAA form 7711–2.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The information
collected by FAA Form 7711–2,
Application for Certificate of Waiver or
Authorization, is reviewed and analyzed
by FAA to determine the type and
extent of the intended deviation from
prescribed regulations. A certificate of
waiver or authorization to deviate is
generally issued to the applicant
(individuals and businesses) if the
proposed operation does not create a
hazard to persons, property, or other
aircraft, and includes the operation of
unmanned aircraft. Applications for
certificates of waiver to the provisions
of Parts 91 and 101 are made by using
FAA Form 7711–2. Application for
authorization to make parachute jumps
(other than emergency or military
operations) under Part 105, Section
105.15 (airshows and meets) also uses
FAA Form 7711–2. Application for
other types of parachute jumping
activities are submitted in various ways;
e.g., in writing, in person, by telephone,
etc.
Persons authorized to deviate from
provisions of Part 101 are required to
give notice of actual activities. Persons
operating in accordance with the
provisions of Part 101 are also required
to give notice of actual activities. In both
instances, the notice of information
required is the same. Therefore, the
burden associated with applications for
certificates of waiver or authorization
and the burden associated with notices
of actual aircraft activities are identified
and included in this request for
clearance.
Regarding operation of small
unmanned aircraft systems under Part
E:\FR\FM\31MRN1.SGM
31MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 62 / Tuesday, March 31, 2020 / Notices
107, to obtain a certificate of waiver, an
applicant will have to submit a request
containing a complete description of the
proposed operation and a justification,
including supporting data and
documentation as necessary that
establishes that the proposed operation
can safely be conducted under the terms
of a certificate of waiver. The FAA
expects that the amount of data and
analysis required as part of the
application will be proportional to the
specific relief that is requested.
Respondents: 26,495, including
approximately 5,500 annual
applications for waivers from certain
sections of Part 107.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 45 minutes for non-part 107
waivers; 45.7 hours for part 107 waivers.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
19,871 hours (not-part 107) + 251,520
(part 107) = 271,391 hours.

Title: Small Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (sUAS) Accident Reporting.
Form Numbers: N/A (web portal:
https://faadronezone.faa.gov).
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: 14 CFR part 107 requires
that a small unmanned aircraft accident
be reported if it causes: (1) serious
injury to any person or any loss of
consciousness; or (2) damage to any
property, other than the small
unmanned aircraft, unless the cost of
repair or fair market value in the event
of total loss does not exceed $500. The
information collected by the FAA
through its DroneZone web portal,
Flight Standards District Offices, or one
of the Regional Operations Centers or
the Washington Operations Center for
each small UAS accident will be used
to investigate and determine regulatory
compliance. In addition, the accident
information will go into the FAA
aircraft accident database for safety
analysis purposes by the FAA Office of
Accident Investigation and Analysis,
pursuant to its statutory safety mission.
As is currently the case for manned
aircraft accidents, small UAS accident
data will be made available to the public
and the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB).
Respondents: Approximately 35 per
year.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 8.75
