In addition, the safety event information will go into the FAA aircraft accident database for safety analysis purposes by the FAA Office of Accident Investigation and Analysis, pursuant to its statutory safety mission. As is currently the case for manned aircraft accidents, small UAS safety event data will be made available to the public and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Before making certain changes to an FRA-certified PTC system or the associated FRA-approved PTCSP, a host railroad must submit, and obtain FRA’s approval of, an RFA to its PTCSP under 49 CFR 236.1021. Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA’s regulations provide that FRA will publish a notice in the Federal Register and invite public comment in accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an RFA includes a request for approval of a material modification of a signal or train control system.

    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.

[[Page 61576]]

    Background: The title of this information collection is being 
changed from ``Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Accident 
Reporting'' to ``Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Safety Event 
Reporting'' to reflect the change made to the title of the applicable 
regulation (14 CFR, 107.9) in 2022. 14 CFR part 107.9 requires that a 
small unmanned aircraft system safety event be reported if it causes: 
(1) serious injury to any person or any loss of consciousness; or (2) 
damage to any property, other than the small unmanned aircraft, unless 
the cost of repair or fair market value in the event of total loss does 
not exceed $500. The information collected by the FAA through its 
DroneZone web portal, Flight Standards District Offices, one of the 
Regional Operations Centers, or the Washington Operations Center for 
each small UAS safety event will be used to investigate and determine 
regulatory compliance. In addition, the safety event information will 
go into the FAA aircraft accident database for safety analysis purposes 
by the FAA Office of Accident Investigation and Analysis, pursuant to 
its statutory safety mission.
    As is currently the case for manned aircraft accidents, small UAS 
safety event data will be made available to the public and the National 
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
    Respondents: Small Unmanned Aircraft System operators that 
experience a safety event that must be reported to the FAA per 14 CFR, 
107.9. Approximately 41 per year.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10.25 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 26, 2024.
