FAADroneZone / Registration
The authority for collecting personally identifiable information (PII) through the FAADroneZone website for purposes of registering a small (s)UAS is contained in 49 U.S.C. §§ 44101–44106 and §§ 44110–44113 which require aircraft to be registered as a condition of operation and establish the requirements for registration and registration processes. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 44807, § 44809, and 14 C.F.R. § 107.13, persons operating small unmanned aircraft under 14 C.F.R. part 107 must comply with the registration requirements. Additionally, persons operating in accordance with the statutory exception for limited recreational operations of unmanned aircraft under 49 U.S.C. § 44809 must comply with the registration requirements pursuant to subsection (a)(8) of that section. The principal purpose for which information collected is intended to be used is to complete the aircraft registration process and identify the aircraft to its owner. Disclosure of this information is mandatory, and operation of a sUAS in violation of the applicable registration rules may result in enforcement action and/or civil penalties pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 13. Additionally, the failure to provide the required information will prevent the FAA from registering your aircraft which is required under 49 U.S.C. § 44101 to be completed prior to operation of the aircraft. The information collected to complete the aircraft registration process and issue the unique identifier is included in a Privacy Act System of Records known as Department of Transportation (DOT)/FAA 801, titled “Aviation Registration Records.” Records from this system of records may be disclosed in accordance with the routine uses that appear in /DOT/FAA 801, as published in the Federal Register at 81 Federal Register 54187 (August 15 2016), available at https://www.transportation.gov/individua...records-notices.

Part 107 Waiver / Airspace Authorization Request Form for Part 107 and Recreational Flyers
The authority for collecting the information you provide on this form is codified at 49 U.S.C. §44701, § 44807, and § 44809; see also FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Pub. L. 112-95 § 333, Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems and 14 C.F.R. Part 107. The principal purpose for which the FAA intends to use the information is to receive, evaluate, and respond to requests for authorization to operate a sUAS pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 107 or 49 U.S.C. § 44809, in Class B, C, or D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport, and evaluate requests for certificate of waiver to deviate safely from one or more sUAS operational requirements specified in Part 107. The information may include, but is not limited to, name, address, phone number, aircraft registration number, and a description of planned operation. Disclosure of this information is voluntary, but operation of a sUAS outside of the regulations at 14 C.F.R. Part 107 without a waiver or authorization in violation of that regulation may result in an enforcement action and/or civil penalties under 14 C.F.R. Part 13. Additionally, failure to provide all required information will result in the FAA being unable to issue a waiver or authorization for your operation under 14 C.F.R. Part 107, subpart D, or an airspace authorization under 49 U.S.C. § 44809. The information collected on this website will be included in a Privacy Act System of Records known as DOT/FAA 854, titled “Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Waivers and Authorizations.” Records from this system of records may be disclosed in accordance with the routine uses that appear in DOT/FAA 854, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Waivers and Authorizations, as published in the Federal Register at 84 Federal Register 32512 (July 8, 2019), available at https://www.transportation.gov/individua...records-notices.

Part 107 Accident Reporting Form
The authority for collecting the information provided on this form is codified at 49 U.S.C. § 44701 and §44807; see also FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Pub. L. 112-95 § 333, Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and 14 C.F.R. § 107.9.

The Federal Aviation Administration will use the information provided in connection to accident reports to regulate and promote safety in air commerce, in accordance with its statutory authority at 49 U.S.C § 44701. Disclosure of this information is mandatory for remote pilots in command operating under 14 C.F.R. Part 107, and a certified remote pilot in command’s failure to report an accident in accordance with the regulations may result in enforcement action and/or civil penalties pursuant 14 C.F.R. Part 13. Additionally, failure to provide all the information requested will delay the processing of the report. The information collected on this website will be included in a Privacy Act System of Records known as DOT/FAA 847, titled “Aviation Records on Individuals.” The information collected to complete an accident report may be disclosed in accordance with the routine uses that appear in the DOT/FAA 847, as published in the Federal Register at 75 Federal Register 68849 (November 9, 2010), available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2010-11.../2010-28237.pdf.
