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.
