collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the

Title: B4UFLY Smartphone App.
Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on November 24, 2015 (80 FR 73265). Public Law 112-95,
Section 336 requires model aircraft operators to notify the airport
operator and air traffic control tower (if one is located at the
airport) prior to operating within 5 miles of an airport. The FAA's
B4UFLY smartphone app will provide situational awareness of flight
restrictions--including locations of airports, restricted airspace,
special use airspaces, and temporary flight restrictions--based on a
user's current or planned flight location. In order to maintain NAS
safety in proximity to airports, air traffic control personnel would
need certain basic information about a UAS operator's intended flight
in order to assess whether the UAS may disrupt or endanger manned air
traffic.
Respondents: Approximately 1000 beta testers.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 2 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,485 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on January 27, 2016.
Ronda Thompson,
FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Performance, Policy &
Records Management Branch, ASP-110.
