Owners of small unmanned aircraft, as
needed, are mandated to report information to this collection. The
FAA would use the telephone number, manufacturer, model, and serial
number to assist with the remote identification of unmanned
aircraft systems. The serial number, which may be transmitted as
the unique identifier of an unmanned aircraft, would help to
identify the aircraft and associate the aircraft with its owner.
The FAA would use the telephone number of the owner to disseminate
safety and security-related information to the registrant. The
additional information collected as part of the small unmanned
aircraft registration system will provide data identifying the
owners of small unmanned aircraft. It will also provide data
specific to the small unmanned aircraft (i.e., manufacturer, model
name, and serial number) regardless of its intended use. It will
also allow the FAA to provide those persons with educational
materials regarding safety of flight in the airspace of the United
States to promote greater accountability and responsibility of
these new users of the airspace. In the Remote Identification rule,
the FAA is proposing to require that all persons registering small
unmanned aircraft under part 48 include the manufacturer, model
name, and serial number of each aircraft as part of the
registration information, regardless of the intended use of the
aircraft. This information would be included on the Certificate of
Aircraft Registration. The FAA uses the manufacturer, model name,
and serial number to assist with the remote identification of
unmanned aircraft systems. The serial number, which could be
transmitted as the unique identifier of an unmanned aircraft,
serves as a means to identify the aircraft, distinguish it from
others flying in the airspace of the United States, and allows the
FAA and law enforcement agencies to correlate remote identification
and registration data.
The Remote Identification of
Unmanned Aircraft final rule, RIN 2120-AL31, finalizes certain
registration requirements necessary to implement remote
identification requirements. Those changes are found in newly
redesignated 14 CFR 48.110. Specifically, the FAA is adding the
following information to the list of information collected upon
registration or registration renewal of small unmanned aircraft:
(1) Applicant’s telephone number(s) and, for an applicant other
than an individual, the telephone number(s) of the authorized
representative. (2) For any standard remote identification unmanned
aircraft, the serial number issued by the manufacturer of the
unmanned aircraft in accordance with the design and production
requirements of 14 CFR part 89. The serial number provided in this
application must not be listed on more than one Certificate of
Aircraft Registration at the same time. (3) For any unmanned
aircraft equipped with a remote identification broadcast module,
the serial number issued by the manufacturer of the remote
identification broadcast module in accordance with the design and
production requirements of 14 CFR part 89. An applicant may submit
the serial number of more than one remote identification broadcast
module as part of the application for aircraft registration under §
48.105. The serial number of a remote identification broadcast
module provided in this application must not be listed on more than
one Certificate of Aircraft Registration at the same time.
