[Docket No. FAA-2023-2221


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Notice of 
Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew information collection. 
The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments on the following collection of information was published on 
December 22, 2023. The collection involves the gathering of information 
necessary for the FAA to ensure proposed outdoor laser operations will 
not interfere with air traffic operations. The information to be 
collected will be used to and/or is necessary because the FAA must 
evaluate proposed outdoor laser operations requiring a Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) variance from Federal regulations for a laser 
light show, display, or device.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 15, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Konie by email at: 
[email protected]; phone: (202) 267-8783.

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 FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for 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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0662.
    Title: Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s).
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 7140-1.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on December 22, 2023 (88 FR 88700). No laser light show, 
projection system, or device may vary from compliance with 21 CFR 
1040.11(c) in design or use without the approval of an application for 
variance in accordance with 21 CFR 1010.4 using FDA Form 3147. In order 
to obtain a variance from 21 CFR 1040.11(c) for a laser light show, 
display, or device (as described on FDA Form 3147); advance written 
notification must be made as early as possible to appropriate federal, 
state, and local authorities providing show itinerary with dates and 
locations clearly and completely identified, and a basic description of 
the proposed effects including a statement of the maximum power output 
intended. Such notifications must be made, but not necessarily be 
limited, to the FAA for any projections into open airspace at any time 
(e.g., set up, alignment, rehearsals, and performances). If the FAA 
objects to any laser effects, the objections will be resolved and any 
conditions requested by FAA will be adhered to. If these conditions 
cannot be met, the objectionable effects will be deleted from the show.
    FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 70-1B with Change 1, Outdoor Laser 
Operations, provides information for those proponents planning to 
conduct outdoor laser operations that may affect aircraft operations in 
the United States (U.S.) National Airspace System (NAS).\1\ 
Additionally, the AC explains the necessity to notify the FAA, how to 
notify the FAA of the planned laser operation, and any action the FAA 
will take to respond to such notifications. Further, the AC includes 
instructions for completing FAA Form 7140-1, Notice of Proposed Outdoor 
Laser Operation(s).
