Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewal Approval of
Information Collection 2120–0768, Part
107 Authorizations and Waivers Under
14 CFR Part 107; Correction
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 Information
Collection 2120–0768. The Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the
following collection of information was
published on January 6, 2023 (88 FR
91105). The FAA proposes renewal of
the collection of information related to
requests made under 14 CFR part 107 to
operate small Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (UAS) in controlled airspace.
FAA will use the collected information
to make determinations whether to
authorize or deny the requested
operation of UAS in controlled airspace.
The proposed information collection is
necessary to issue such authorizations
or denials consistent with the FAA’s
mandate to ensure safe and efficient use
of national airspace. The FAA received
no comments to the 60-day notice. This
is a corrected Federal Register Notice to
update a Federal Register Notice posted
on April 20, 2023 under Docket Number
2022–0176. This corrected Federal
Register Notice updates the Docket
Number to FAA–2023–1035.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by May 26, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

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: 2120–0768.
Title: Part 107 Authorizations and
Waivers under 14 CFR part 107.
Form Numbers: There are no forms
associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of existing
information collection.
Background: This is a corrected
Federal Register Notice to update a
Federal Register Notice posted on April
20, 2023 under Docket Number 2022–
0176. This corrected Federal Register
Notice updates the Docket Number to
FAA–2023–1035.
There has been an increased number
of operations of small Unmanned
Aircraft Systems 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 14
CFR part 107. Section 107.41 states that
‘‘no person may operate a small
unmanned aircraft 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
unless that person has prior
authorization from Air Traffic Control
(ATC).’’ Such authorization may be
obtained in the form of either an
airspace authorization issued by the
FAA or a waiver of the authorization
requirements of 14 CFR 107.41 (known
as an airspace waiver).
In order to process authorization and
airspace waiver 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 small UAS
operation. 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 UAS
operation 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 Part 107 flight
operations pursuant to Section 107.41.
The FAA also proposes to use the web
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
25443
portal to process requests from the
public to conduct Part 107 flight
operations that requires an airspace
waiver.
Respondents: Small UAS operators
seeking to conduct flight operations
under 14 CFR part 107 within
controlled airspace or flight operations
that require waiver from the provisions
of 14 CFR 107.41. Between 2023–2026,
the FAA estimates that it will receive a
total of 1,477,965 requests for airspace
authorizations and 0 requests for
airspace waivers.
Frequency: The requested information
will need to be provided each time a
respondent requests an airspace
authorization to operate a small UAS
under 14 CFR part 107 in controlled
airspace and each time a respondent
requests a waiver from the provisions of
14 CFR 107.41 to operate a small UAS
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.
For those making airspace waiver
requests through the web portal, the
FAA estimates it takes 30 minutes per
request.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: For
airspace authorizations, the FAA
estimates that the average annual
burden will be 61,582 burden hours.
This includes 36,949 burden hours for
443,389 LAANC respondents and
24,633 burden hours for 49,266 web
portal respondents.
Issued in Washington, DC, on 21 of April,
2023.

UAS LAANC Program Manager.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
MRB was created under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) in
accordance with section 4116 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users 1 to provide FMCSA ‘‘with
medical advice and recommendations
on medical standards and guidelines for
the physical qualifications of operators
of commercial motor vehicles, medical
examiner education, and medical
research’’ (49 U.S.C. 31149(a)(1)). MRB
operates in accordance with FACA
under the terms of the MRB charter,
filed November 25, 2021.
II. Agenda
The MRB will complete its review of
test questions to be used to determine
eligibility of healthcare professionals to
be certified as medical examiners and be
listed on the National Registry of
Certified Medical Examiners. MRB
began this review at its September 14,
2022, meeting.

III. Public Participation
The meeting will be closed to the
public due to the discussion of specific
test questions to be used to certify
medical examiners, which are not
available for release to the public.
Premature disclosure of secure test
information would compromise the
integrity of the examination and
therefore exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 of the United States
Code justifies closing this portion of the
Law 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144, 1726 (2005).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general,
Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.)
Section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify
that a host railroad’s PTC system
complies with Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 236, subpart I,
before the technology may be operated
in revenue service. On June 30, 2020,
FRA certified MBTA’s ACSES II PTC
system under 49 CFR 236.1015 and 49
U.S.C. 20157(h). Pursuant to 49 CFR
236.1035, a railroad must obtain FRA’s
approval before field testing an
uncertified PTC system, or a product of
an uncertified PTC system, or any
regression testing of a certified PTC
system on the general rail system. See
49 CFR 236.1035(a). There are three
stages of testing for which approval is
being requested, starting with track
database validation, followed by precertification and integration testing, and
the final stage involving test results and
documentation completion. MBTA’s test
request contains the required
information, including a complete
description of MBTA’s Concept of
Operations and its specific test
procedures, including the measures that
will be taken to ensure safety during
testing, are available for review online at
https://www.regulations.gov in Docket
No. FRA–2010–0030.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on MBTA’s Test Request by
submitting written comments or data.
During FRA’s review of this railroad’s
request, FRA will consider any
comments or data submitted within the
timeline specified in this notice and to
the extent practicable, without delaying
testing of valuable or necessary
modifications to a PTC system. See 49
CFR 236.1035. Under 49 CFR 236.1035,
FRA maintains the authority to approve,
approve with conditions, or deny a
railroad’s test request at FRA’s sole
discretion.
