Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 57 / Friday, March 22, 2024 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 meets the remote identification requirements and the design and production requirements of the final rule. Labeling The final rule requires a person responsible for the production of a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module to label each unmanned aircraft or broadcast module to show that it meets the remote identification requirements of the rule. The label must be in English and be legible, be prominently displayed, and permanently affixed to the unmanned aircraft or broadcast module. For existing unmanned aircraft that are upgraded to have remote identification broadcast module capabilities integrated into the aircraft, the FAA envisions that the label would be affixed to the unmanned aircraft. In those instances, the producer may provide the label to the operator and instructions on how to affix them to the unmanned aircraft. Standard remote identification unmanned aircraft produced under a design or production approval issued under part 21 have to comply with the labeling requirements of part 21, as applicable. The labeling requirement will assist the FAA in its oversight role because it provides an efficient means for an inspector to evaluate whether an operation is consistent with the remote identification requirements. Respondents: The FAA website at https://uasdoc.faa.gov provides information about how to submit a means of compliance and also provides an online form for the submission of declarations of compliance. The FAA expects persons or organizations who develop standards that the FAA may accept as means of compliance for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules to submit those standards for review and acceptance by the FAA at 9-AVSAIR-UASMOC@faa.gov. Persons responsible for the production of a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module can submit a declaration of compliance to the FAA using the online form at https://uasdoc.faa.gov. Producers of a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module must label the unmanned aircraft or broadcast module to show that it meets the Part 89 remote identification requirements. Frequency: For means of compliance, on occasion. For declarations of VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:15 Mar 21, 2024 Jkt 262001 compliance, on occasion. For labeling requirements, on occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: For means of compliance, the FAA estimates an hourly burden of 12 hours to develop the means of compliance and 5 minutes to submit the information to the FAA. For declarations of compliance, the FAA estimates an hourly burden of 50 hours to collect the information required by the applicable means of compliance, and 15 minutes to fill out the online declaration of compliance form. For unmanned aircraft labels, the FAA estimates an hourly burden of 2 hours to design a label for a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module. Estimated Total Annual Burden: For means of compliance, the FAA estimates a total of one means of compliance submitted per year for an annual burden of 12 hours. For declarations of compliance, the FAA estimates an average of 862 declarations of compliance submitted per year, for a total annual burden of 43,100 hours for all respondents (50 hours per response). For unmanned aircraft labels, the FAA estimates an average of 200 labels designed per year, for a total annual burden of 400 hours for all respondents (2 hours per response).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Request for Federal Aid Reimbursement Eligibility of Safety Hardware Devices. Background: The FHWA’ s longstanding policy is that all roadside safety hardware installed on the National Highway System (NHS) be crashworthy. To support this policy, the AASHTO/FHWA Joint Implementation Agreement for the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) was adopted. This agreement implemented AASHTO MASH as the criteria for determining crashworthiness of roadside safety hardware. FHWA provides a service to States and industry by reviewing tests for roadside hardware, ensuring that they have been tested in accordance with MASH criterion, and issuing a federal aid eligibility letter for roadside hardware that meet review standards. An eligibility letter is not a requirement for roadside safety hardware to be determined eligible for Federal funding. Roadside safety hardware is eligible for Federal funding if it has been determined to be crash worthy by the user agency. To issue eligibility letters for roadside safety hardware, the FHWA needs to collect and review crash test results and hardware information from the submitters.
