Abstract:
Persons submitting means of compliance for acceptance by the FAA (e.g., individuals, standards setting organizations, designers of remote identification unmanned aircraft or broadcast modules); persons submitting declarations of compliance for acceptance by the FAA (i.e., producers of remote identification unmanned aircraft or broadcast modules) and; persons responsible for the labeling of unmanned aircraft systems (i.e., producers of the remote identification unmanned aircraft or broadcast module), are, as needed, mandated to report, record keep, and disclose information for this collection. The FAA will use the means of compliance as a way for persons responsible for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module to demonstrate compliance with the performance requirements for standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module. The FAA will use the declaration of compliance to determine that the person responsible for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module has demonstrated compliance with the production requirements for standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules. The labeling requirement will assist the FAA, and owners or operators of unmanned aircraft to determine whether the standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module meets the rule’s remote identification requirements. The information collection requirements applies to any person requesting acceptance of a means of compliance or a declaration of compliance. This includes persons responsible for the production of standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module—to equip unmanned aircraft without remote identification—for operation in the airspace of the United States.

Short Statement:
On January 15, 2021, the FAA published final rule Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft. The information the FAA will review under the final rule includes the information included in applications requesting acceptance of a means of compliance, as well as the information included in declarations of compliance submitted for FAA acceptance by producers of the standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module . In addition to requesting acceptance of declarations of compliance, producers of the standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module are required to label the unmanned aircraft to indicate that the unmanned aircraft or broadcast module meets the remote identification requirements. The labeling requirement will inform the operator that the unmanned aircraft is eligible to conduct operations within the airspace of the United States. For example, unless excepted or otherwise authorized by the Administrator, unmanned aircraft that are not standard remote identification unmanned aircraft, nor equipped with remote identification module are limited to operating only within FAA-recognized identification areas.
