Abstract:
This collection is mandatory for laser operators on each occasion of planning outdoor laser operations. The FAA uses the information gathered from laser operators planning to conduct outdoor laser operations to evaluate potential hazards to aircraft operating in the National Airspace System (NAS). Ultimately, the goal is to prevent an aircraft from being hit by the laser operation. The information is reviewed by one of the three FAAs service centers and sent to the facility, which can be a Tower, TRACON or Center, that is being impacted by the operation. The facility will review the proposed operation and state no objection or list an objection to the operation. If the facility lists an objection, then the service center will contact the proponent and see if adjustments can be made to the proposed operation. The number of respondents is recorded as 405 because in FY 2017 there were 405 responses. In this submission the time it takes the proponent to complete the form is estimated at 4 hours instead of the previous 11 hours. This time was derived from talking with our three service centers which deal with the proponents directly.

Short Statement:
Whereas the number of laser operators is unknown. The FAA knows the number of planned laser operations requesting clearance. Laser operators are required to submit a form for each outdoor operation. Each laser operation is unique and requires the FAA to determine the potential impact to the NAS. Thus with this submission each operation is documented as an individual respondent in ROCIS. The number of respondents is recorded as 405 because in FY 2017 there were 405 responses. Also in this submission the time it takes the proponent to complete the form is now estimated at 4 hours instead of the previous 11 hours. The 11 hours was an estimate during the past submission, in this submission the hours of burden to the public was based on our three service centers talking directly to the proponent and asking them how much time they spent completing the form.
