SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 16, 2015, the Department of
Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration published the
interim final rule Registration and Marking Requirements for Small
Unmanned Aircraft (80 FR 78593). That rule provided an alternative,
streamlined and simple, web-based aircraft registration process for the
registration of small unmanned aircraft, including small unmanned
aircraft operated as model aircraft, to facilitate compliance with the
statutory requirement that all aircraft register prior to operation.
That rule contained an information collection, Registration of
Small Unmanned Aircraft. That information collection requirement had
not been approved by OMB at the time of publication of the interim
final rule.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a
copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its
review. OMB approved the collection on December 16, 2015, and assigned
the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0765. This final
rule provides the control number of that information collection and
adds the information collection to the list of FAA's approved
information collections in 14 CFR part 11.
