Frequency: On occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies depending on the type of stakeholder application. Fixed flying site applications (including more than 55 pound UAS and FRIA) are estimated to take 0.5 hours per applicant. CBO recognition and more than 55 pound UAS standards and limitations applications are estimated to take 1.0 hours per applicant. Estimated Total Annual Burden: Varies depending on the type of stakeholder application. CBO recognition and more than 55 pound UAS standards and limitations applications are not recurring, resulting in a one-time annual burden of 1 hour per application. However, this number can vary greatly as incomplete applications are quickly denied, but complete application that include over 55 pound UAS can take two or more hours. Fixed flying site applications are required to be updated/renewed annually, resulting in a total annual burden of 0.5 hours per year. The FAA estimates 25 CBO recognition/more than 55 pound UAS standards and limitations applications in the first year, totaling 25 hours. Fixed flying site applications (including more than 55 pound UAS and FRIA) are expected to number around 200 applications per year, totaling 100 hours.
