Abstract: This information collection is submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to request a three-year approval clearance for the information collection entitled Small Unmanned Aircraft Registration System (sUAS System). The information collected as part of the small unmanned aircraft registration system will identify to the FAA those persons owning small unmanned aircraft, whether the intended use is as a model aircraft, or as other than a model aircraft. It will also allow the FAA to provide those persons with educational materials regarding safety of flight in the national airspace system to promote greater accountability and responsibility of these new users of the national airspace system.
