Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a New Approval of Information Collection: Unmanned 
Aircraft Systems (UAS) Market Survey

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 for a new information collection. 
The collection involves an electronic distribution of a survey to 
gather information on current practices for pilots of unmanned aircraft 
systems (UAS). The target information to be gathered is the common 
fatigue-related practices, and the minimum knowledge, skills, abilities 
(KSAs), testing, and staffing procedures required for operating UAS. 
The information to be collected will be used to inform future 
rulemaking and the development of supporting guidance. The information 
is necessary because the existing regulatory framework, to include the 
certification of airmen, was not designed with remote pilots in mind. 
To broadly integrate UAS and remote pilots into the National Airspace 
System, further rulemaking will be required to address remote pilot 
certification for air carrier operations and flight and duty time 
periods applicable to remote pilot air carrier operations.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 19, 2021.
