SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 28, 2016, the FAA and the Office of the Secretary of
Transportation published a final rule entitled Operation and
Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The rule adds a new
part 107 to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to allow for
routine civil operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the
NAS and to provide safety rules for those operations. The final rule
resulted in new and revised information collection requirements.
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3507(d)), the FAA submitted these information collection amendments to
OMB for its review. On August 12 and 15, 2016, OMB approved the
information collection requests. The pertinent OMB control numbers are
2120-0005, 2120-0021, 2120-0027, 2120-0767, and 2120-0768.
Updating OMB Control Numbers in Part 11
The FAA lists OMB control numbers assigned to its information
collection activities in 14 CFR 11.201(b). Accordingly, this final rule
updates 14 CFR 11.201(b) to display OMB control numbers 2120-0005,
2120-0021, 2120-0027, 2120-0767, and 2120-0768 associated with the
information collection activities in the final rule, Operation and
Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. See 81 FR 42063. This
final rule also removes from 14 CFR 11.201(b) the OMB control numbers
for 14 CFR parts 108 and 109, as those parts were removed by a joint
FAA and Transportation Security Administration final rule, Civil
Aviation Security Rules, published on February 22, 2002. See 67 FR
8340.
Because this rule concerns agency organization, procedure or
practice, the FAA finds that the notice and public procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) are unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds
good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendment
effective in less than 30 days.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 11
Administrative practice and procedure, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

Administration amends Chapter I of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
