Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 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 approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew an information
collection. The collection involves manufacturers of small unmanned
aircraft providing a safety statement to owners of the UAS they
produce. This is a statutory requirement. To minimize the burden on
small businesses, the FAA has developed an example safety statement
that can be used to satisfy the requirement.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by September 4, 2025.
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.

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: 2120-0809.
Title: Safety Statement Requirement for Manufacturers of Small
Unmanned Aircraft.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
Background: Section 2203 of the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security
Act of 2016 (Pub. L. 114-90) requires manufacturers of small unmanned
aircraft to make available to the owner at the time of delivery of the
small unmanned aircraft a safety statement that satisfies requirements
detailed in that section. The safety statement must include: 1.
Information about, and sources of, laws and regulations applicable to
small unmanned aircraft; 2. Recommendations for using small unmanned
aircraft in a manner that promotes the safety of person and property;
3. The date that the safety statement was created or last modified; and
4. Language approved by the Administrator regarding the following: (i)
A person may operate the small unmanned aircraft as a model aircraft
(as defined in section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of
2012 (49 U.S.C. 40101 note)) or otherwise in accordance with Federal
Aviation Administration authorization or regulation, including
requirements for the completion of any applicable airman test. (ii) The
definition of a model aircraft under section 336 of the FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (49 U.S.C. 40101 note). (iii) The
requirements regarding the operation of a model aircraft under section
336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (49 U.S.C. 40101
note). (iv) The Administrator may pursue enforcement action against a
person operating model aircraft who endangers the safety of the
national airspace system. The FAA has developed an example safety
statement that UAS manufacturers may use to satisfy the statutory
requirements of section 2203.
Respondents: Manufacturers of small UAS sold in the U.S.
(Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) reports
there are 471 active manufacturers in February 2019.)
