Abstract:
As a result of the May 19, 2017 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the Small UAS Registration and Marking interim final rule was vacated to the extent it applies to model aircraft. Model aircraft must meet the definition and operational requirements provided in section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act. Owners who are operating exclusively in compliance with section 336 who wish to de-register and receive a refund of the registration fee may do so by requesting de-registration from the FAA, which requires the FAA to collect their payment information. This submission is for an emergency review of the new collection instrument necessary to facilitate de-registration and provision of refund.
Emergency Justfication:
The FAA seeks emergency clearance from OMB to revise its existing information collection 2120-0765, Small Umnanned Aircraft Registration System. This revision would permit the FAA to collect information from members of the public to facilitate the removal of their Privacy Act entries in the small UAS registration database and to provide a refund of their $5 registration fee. This revision is for the purpose of complying with the mandate of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Taylor v. Huerta by July 3, 2017. If the FAA does not receive emergency approval, the FAA is at risk of not complying with the mandate without undue delay.

Short Statement:
With respect to the update to this information collection, the FAA estimates that there are currently 700,000 persons who are registered under section 336. The FAA further estimates that 1%, 7,000, of those persons will choose to de-register. The FAA estimates that half of those individuals requesting to de-register will have registered during the initial grace period and have therefore already received their refund, therefore the FAA estimates that 3500 individuals will receive a refund of their $5 registration payment as a result of the deregistration process. Finally, the FAA estimates that it will take each person 2 minutes to complete the de-registration form. 7,000 persons * 2 minutes to complete form = 14,000 minutes or 233.33 hours
