SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 28, 2016, the FAA and the Office of the Secretary of 
Transportation published a final rule entitled Operation and 
Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The rule adds a new 
part 107 to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to allow for 
routine civil operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the 
NAS and to provide safety rules for those operations. The final rule 
resulted in new and revised information collection requirements.
    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507(d)), the FAA submitted these information collection amendments to 
OMB for its review. On August 12 and 15, 2016, OMB approved the 
information collection requests. The pertinent OMB control numbers are 
2120-0005, 2120-0021, 2120-0027, 2120-0767, and 2120-0768.

Updating OMB Control Numbers in Part 11

    The FAA lists OMB control numbers assigned to its information 
collection activities in 14 CFR 11.201(b). Accordingly, this final rule 
updates 14 CFR 11.201(b) to display OMB control numbers 2120-0005, 
2120-0021, 2120-0027, 2120-0767, and 2120-0768 associated with the 
information collection activities in the final rule, Operation and 
Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. See 81 FR 42063. This 
final rule also removes from 14 CFR 11.201(b) the OMB control numbers 
for 14 CFR parts 108 and 109, as those parts were removed by a joint 
FAA and Transportation Security Administration final rule, Civil 
Aviation Security Rules, published on February 22, 2002. See 67 FR 
8340.
    Because this rule concerns agency organization, procedure or 
practice, the FAA finds that the notice and public procedures under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) are unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds 
good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendment 
effective in less than 30 days.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 11

    Administrative practice and procedure, Reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements.

The Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing the Federal Aviation 
Administration amends Chapter I of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
