Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
AGENCY:
Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
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 purpose of this notice is
to allow 60 days for public comment.
The FAA proposes collecting
information related to requests for
certificate of waivers to operate
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in
deviation from the normal operating
rules. The FAA will use the collected
information to make determinations
whether to authorize or deny the
requested operation of UAS. 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. This notice was
already published and the dates for
comments submission has been
updated.
SUMMARY:
Written comments should be
submitted by August 11, 2023.

in 14 CFR 91.905.
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–XXXX.
Title: Certificates of Waivers under 14
CFR 91.903.
Form Numbers: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Approval of new
Information Collection.
Background: Title 14, Part 91 of the
Code of Federal Regulations prescribes
the rules governing the operation of
aircraft within the United States.
Included in this is the operation of
unmanned aircraft systems (UAS),
commonly known as drones, by both
civil and public aircraft operators. 14
CFR 91.903 allows for operators of
aircraft to apply for a certificate of
waiver authorizing the operator to
deviate from the rules listed in § 91.905
if the proposed operation can be
conducted safely.
To process certificate of waiver
requests, the FAA requires the name of
the person or organization sponsoring
the request, mailing address,
information related to any pending or to
prior waiver requests that were denied
or rescinded, the regulation sought to
deviate from, time and location of the
proposed operation, the make and
model of the aircraft, and the pilot’s
name, address, and certificate number
and rating. 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 a web portal
