This information collection applies to Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Educational Institutions that are applying to establish an FAA-recognized identification area (FRIA). FRIAs are locations where unmanned aircraft can operate without broadcasting remote identification information. FRIAs are established through an online application process where an FAA-recognized Community-Based Organization (CBO) or educational institution submits an online application using the FAA Drone Zone website (faadronezone.faa.gov). The FAA reviews the application and determines whether a FRIA can be approved at the requested location. The locations of approved FRIAs are shown on a map using the FAA UAS Data Delivery System (UDDS) website (https://udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com/). FRIAs are established for a period of 48 months and can be renewed.
