Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on March 13, 2020 (85 FR 14723). 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, and approve standards
and limitations for unmanned aircraft
weighing more than 55 pounds. The
information will be collected online.
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:
• § 44809(c)(1), Operations at Fixed
Sites
• § 44809(c)(2)(a), Standards and
Limitations—UA Weighing More
Than 55 Pounds
• § 44809(c)(2)(b), Operations at Fixed
Sites—UA Weighing More Than 55
Pounds
• § 44809(g)(1), Aeronautical
Knowledge and Safety Test
• § 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, and have standards and
limitations for unmanned aircraft
weighing more than 55 pounds
approved.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: § 44809(c)(1) Operations at
Fixed Sites—Operating Procedure
Required: 30 minutes; § 44809(c)(2)(b)
Operations at Fixed Sites—Unmanned
Aircraft Weighing More Than 55
Pounds: Fixed Flying Site approval: 30
minutes; § 44809(g)(1) Aeronautical
Knowledge and Safety Test—General:
34 hours; § 44809(i) Recognition of
Community-Based Organizations: 2
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
1,224 hours.
