Abstract:
Community based organizations, that desire to obtain and maintain a designation for an FAA-recognized identification area are required to report information to this collection. Applications would permit community based organizations recognized by the Administrator to apply for FAA-recognized identification area status. The FAA is proposing to collect the information to provide an opportunity for operators of UAS without remote identification equipment (such as vintage, homebuilt, or other legacy aircraft manufactured before the effective date of the Remote Identification rule) to comply with the intent of the proposed rule. Supplying the necessary information to the FAA would enable the agency to determine whether certain flying sites qualify under relevant safety, security, and eligibility criteria for establishment as FAA-recognized identification areas where UAS could operate without remote identification. The FAA will use the information to consider initial requests for FAA establishment of a flying site, requests for renewal of FAA-recognized identification areas, and amendments to requests for establishment. If the information collection was not conducted, the FAA would not have the necessary data to make a safety determination whether to establish certain flying sites as areas where UAS without remote identification can operate. This would result in all UAS having to equip with remote identification capabilities.
