Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 34 / Friday, February 18, 2022 / Notices
Program must submit an application
before the FAA can provide coverage.
Respondents: The FAA currently
insure 31 U.S. air carriers through its
Non-Premium Aviation Insurance
Program at the request of other Federal
agencies. We estimate the addition of
one new air carrier to the program each
year. In addition, air carriers insured
will be required to provide and update
information on an ongoing basis as a
condition of insurance coverage and to
remain eligible for insurance policy
renewals.
Frequency: The initial application for
insurance is required only from air
carriers that have not previously
received aviation insurance from the
FAA. We estimate one new air carrier
will need to submit an application
annually; 6 insured air carriers will
need to update basic information
submitted on their initial application,
such as business name and/or address,
annually; 31 insured air carriers will be
required to provide one commercial
insurance policy to the FAA annually
by uploading an electronic image into
the FAA’s Aviation Insurance Data
Management System (AIDMS) annually;
and 31 insured air carriers will need to
update their Schedule of Aircraft with
aircraft registration data adding and
removing a total of 550 aircraft to or
from AIDMS, annually.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Initial Application—4 hours;
Commercial Policy Submission—10
minutes; Business Information Update—
5 minutes; and Aircraft Schedule
Update—2 minutes per aircraft.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28
hours.

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

Title: Airspace Authorizations in
Controlled Airspace under 49 U.S.C.
44809(a)(5).
Form Numbers: There are no forms
associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of existing
Information Collection.
Background: There has been an
increased number of small Unmanned
Aircraft Systems (UAS) operating in the
National Air Space (NAS) in recent
years and regulations and statutes have
been enacted to establish the use of
small UAS in the NAS. Included in
these is 49 U.S.C. 44809(a)(5), which
states that a strictly recreational user of
small UAS must have authorization
from the FAA to fly a small UAS ‘‘in
Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or
within the lateral boundaries of the
surface areas of Class E airspace
designated for an airport.’’ In order to
process airspace authorization requests,
the FAA requires the operator’s name,
the operator’s contact information, and
information related to the date, place,
and time of the requested authorization,
which can be up to twelve hours in
length. This information is necessary for
the FAA to meet its statutory mandate
of maintaining a safe and efficient
national airspace. See 49 U.S.C. 40103,
44701, and 44807. The FAA will use the
requested information to determine if
the proposed authorization to operate
can be conducted safely.

The FAA proposes to use the Low
Altitude Authorization and Notification
Capability (LAANC) and a web portal to
process authorization requests from the
public to conduct flight operations
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44809(a)(5).
Respondents: Small UAS operators
seeking to conduct flight operations
under 49 U.S.C. 44809(a)(5) within
controlled airspace. Between 2022–
2025, the FAA estimates that it will
receive a total of 757,380 requests for
airspace authorization (735,416 through
LAANC and 21,964 through the web
portal).
Frequency: The requested information
is necessary each time a respondent
requests an airspace authorization to
operate a small UAS under 49 U.S.C.
44809(a)(5) in controlled airspace.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The FAA estimates the
respondents using LAANC will take five
(5) minutes per airspace authorization
request and those using the web portal
will take thirty (30) minutes per request.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: For
airspace authorizations, the FAA
estimates that the average annual
burden will be 24,007 burden hours.
This includes 20,346 burden hours for
245,139 LAANC respondents and 3,661
burden hours for 7,321 web portal
respondents.
