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

Public Comments Invited: You are

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

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or rescinded, the regulation sought to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
accessible from the FAA website to

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 112 / Monday, June 12, 2023 / Notices

web portal, the FAA requires
respondents to complete an Access
Request Form. This form requires the
respondent to provide the date, the
respondent’s name, telephone number,
and email address, to identify if the
respondent is a civil or public operator,
and to provide a general reason why
operating a UAS.
Respondents: UAS operators seeking
to a certificate of waiver under 14 CFR
91.903. Between 2023–2026, the FAA
estimates that it will receive a total of
5,105 certificate of waiver requests with
4,925 coming from public users and 180
coming from civil users. The FAA also
estimates that it will receive a total
2,572 requests to initially access the
web portal.
Frequency: The requested information
will need to be provided each time a
respondent requests a certificate of
waiver under Part 91 and the first time
that a respondent requests to access the
web portal.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The FAA estimates the
respondents will take an average of 15
minutes to complete the Access Request
Form and 120 minutes to request a
certificate of waiver.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
3,283 hours for those completing
certificate of waiver requests. 214 hours
for those completing the Access Request
Form.
