🛩️FAA Requires Safety Statements from Small Unmanned Aircraft Manufacturers
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Safety Statement Requirement for Manufacturers of Small Unmanned Aircraft
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 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. This FRN corrects the previously submitted 60-day FRN to include updated contact information and docket number.
