The petitioner indicates that he is 15
years old, and plans to attempt a world
record as the first American pilot to
complete all three-circumnavigation
diamonds of the earth solo, and the
fastest circumnavigation by a single
engine aircraft. The petitioner states
that, if he waits until turning 17 years
old, he will not qualify for the record as
the youngest pilot to circumnavigate the
world.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection: Public
Comment Request
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Federal Aviation
Administration is seeking approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval of a new
information collection related to
airspace authorization requests. As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the purpose of this
notice is to allow 60 days for public
comment.
The FAA proposes collecting
information pursuant to new
requirements that limited recreational
operations of unmanned aircraft must
now apply for airspace authorizations in
controlled airspace. The FAA will use
the collected information to make
determinations whether to authorize or
deny the requested operation of UAS in
controlled airspace. The proposed
information collection is necessary to
issue such authorizations or denials
consistent with the FAA’s mandate to
ensure safe and efficient use of national
airspace.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by May 10, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
[identified by Docket No. FAA–2019–
0154] through one of the following
methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

Capability (LAANC) Program Manager,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Comments Invited. You are asked to
comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for the FAA
to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collection; and
(d) ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information.
Title: Airspace Authorizations in
Controlled Airspace under 49 U.S.C.
44809(a)(5).
OMB Control Number: This is a new
collection.
Form Number(s): There are no FAA
forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Approval of a new
information collection.
Background: Congress recently
enacted the FAA Reauthorization Act of
2018 (the Act), which was signed into
law by the President on October 5, 2018.
Included within the Act is 49 U.S.C.
44809(a), which established limited
recreational operations of unmanned
aircraft. Limited recreational operations
are those operations otherwise excepted
from FAA certification and operating
authority by adhering to all of the
limitations listed in 49 U.S.C.
44809(a)(1) thru (8). Among the listed
limitations that must be met, 49 U.S.C.
44809(a)(5) requires that these
operations receive an authorization from
the FAA prior to conducting any small
UAS flight in Class B, Class C, Class D,
or within the lateral boundaries of the
surface area of Class E airspace
designated for an airport. This is a new
requirement. Previously, only persons
operating under part 107 have been
required to request these authorizations
pursuant to OMB Control Number
2120–0768.
In order to process airspace
authorization requests, the FAA requires
the operator’s name, the operator’s
contact information, and information
related to the date, place, and time of
the requested small UAS operation. This
information is necessary for the FAA to
meet its statutory mandate of
maintaining a safe and efficient national
airspace. See 49 U.S.C. 40103, 44701,
and 44807. Similar to the existing

11MRN1

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 47 / Monday, March 11, 2019 / Notices
process for part 107 operations, the FAA
proposes to use LAANC and a web
portal to process airspace authorization
requests for limited recreational
operations.
Affected Public: Limited recreational
operators of small unmanned aircraft
seeking to conduct flights within Class
B, Class C, Class D, or within the lateral
boundaries of the surface area of Class
E airspace designated for an airport.
Frequency of Submission: The
requested information will need to be
provided each time a limited
recreational operator respondent
requests an airspace authorization to
conduct a limited recreational operation
of a small UAS in controlled airspace.
Number of Respondents: Between
2019–2021, the FAA estimates it will
receive a total of 1,165,387 requests for
airspace authorizations or 388,462
annually.
Total Annual Burden: Because the
FAA has not previously collected
airspace authorization requests from
users under 49 U.S.C 44809(a)(5), the
FAA used historical data related to
airspace authorization requests
submitted by part 107 operators. Under
part 107, the FAA has received .318
requests per UAS registered and 85.2%
of those requests were made through
LAANC and 14.8% of the requests were
made through the web portal. Applying
these ratios to 49 U.S.C. 44809
respondents, the FAA estimates that the
annual burden hours on respondents
will be 55,224 hours (26,478 hours for
330, 970 LAANC respondents and
28,746 hours for 57,492 web portal
respondents) for airspace
authorizations. To determine this
calculation, the FAA estimates that a
respondent will require 5 minutes (or
.08 hours) to complete the authorization
request form using LAANC and 30
minutes (or .5 hours) using the web
portal.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR
1320.5(b), 1320.8(b)(3)(vi), FAA informs
all interested parties that it may not
conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is
not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
