Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Pilot Certification Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

Notice and request for comments.

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 information submitted on FAA form 8710-13 (Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application) by persons applying for a Part 107 remote pilot certificate and/or rating. A Part 107 remote pilot certificate and/or rating is required to act as remote pilot in command of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) being operated under Part 107. The form requires an applicant to provide information such as their name, address, physical characteristics (height, weight, etc.), existing pilot certificates, and whether the applicant took the knowledge test or training course. The applicant must provide proof of completion of a knowledge test or training course, as applicable, with the application. The information to be collected will be used to identify and evaluate your qualifications and eligibility for the issuance of a remote pilot certificate and/or rating. Form 8710-13 can be submitted electronically using the FAA's online Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA), by mail, or in person at certain FAA facilities.

Written comments should be submitted by July 22, 2025.
