Respondents are sUAS operators who are seeking to fly in controlled airspace under 49 U.S.C. § 44809(a)(5). Respondents are required to provide their name, telephone number, email address, and information related to the date, time, place, and altitude of any planned flight operations in controlled airspace. While reporting the information is voluntary it is required on occasion (each time a respondent desires to fly in controlled airspace). There are no record-keeping or disclosure requirements.
The information requested from respondents is essential to FAA mission needs. The FAA is tasked with the exclusive management of airspace in the United States and must issue regulations and control the use of airspace to ensure the safe and efficient use of airspace. 0FP0FP0FP2PPPP
The FAA uses the information provided by respondents via either LAANC or the web portal for the same purposes. To accomplish the FAAâs mandate of providing safe and efficient use of airspace, FAAâs Air Traffic Control must be aware of any planned operations of sUAS in controlled airspace. sUAS operating in controlled airspace will be entering airspace potentially occupied by a variety of other aviation vehicles. FAAâs Air Traffic Control must provide authorization of planned sUAS operations prior to them occurring to ensure that the operations will not interfere with other air traffic.
The information provided by respondents to request authorization to conduct sUAS operations, whether through LAANC or via the web portal, is used by the FAA to provide (or deny) authorization to conduct a sUAS operation consistent with the FAAâs legal mandate to maintain a safe and efficient airspace.
