[Docket No. FAA-2020-0301]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Application 
for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization

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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on March 31, 2020. This collection affects persons who have a 
need to deviate from certain regulations that govern use of airspace 
within the United States. The request also describes the burden 
associated with authorizations to make parachute jumps and operate 
unmanned aircraft (including moored balloons, kites, unmanned rockets, 
and unmanned free balloons).

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 6, 2020.

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: Raymond Plessinger by email at: 
raymond.plessinger@faa.gov; phone: (717) 774-8271.

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: 2120-0027.
    Title: Application for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization.

    Form Numbers: FAA form 7711-2.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on March 31, 2020 (85 FR 17940). The information 
collected by FAA Form 7711-2, Application for Certificate of Waiver or 
Authorization, is reviewed and analyzed by FAA to determine the type 
and extent of the intended deviation from prescribed regulations. A 
certificate of waiver or authorization to deviate is generally issued 
to the applicant (individuals and businesses) if the proposed operation 
does not create a hazard to persons, property, or other aircraft, and 
includes the operation of unmanned aircraft. Applications for 
certificates of waiver to the provisions of Parts 91 and 101 are made 
by using FAA Form 7711-2. Application for authorization to make 
parachute jumps (other than emergency or military operations) under 
Part 105, Section 105.15 (airshows and meets) also uses FAA Form 7711-
2. Application for other types of parachute jumping activities are 
submitted in various ways; e.g., in writing, in person, by telephone, 
etc.
    Persons authorized to deviate from provisions of Part 101 are 
required to give notice of actual activities. Persons operating in 
accordance with the provisions of Part 101 are also required to give 
notice of actual activities. In both instances, the notice of 
information required is the same. Therefore, the burden associated with 
applications for certificates of waiver or authorization and the burden 
associated with notices of actual aircraft activities are identified 
and included in this request for clearance.
    Regarding operation of small unmanned aircraft systems under Part 
107, applications for a certificate of waiver were previously covered 
by this information collection. However, such waiver requests are now 
covered by information collection 2120-0768. Therefore, unlike the 60-
day Federal Register Notice, this 30-day Federal Register Notice does 
not include burden hours for waiver applications under Part 107.
    Respondents: 21,661 airmen and aircraft operators.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1.25 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 13,761 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 1, 2020.

Project Manager, Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and 
Commercial Division.
