Clearance of a Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: Pilot
Certification Unmanned Aircraft
Systems
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

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.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by July 22, 2025.

Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0777.
Title: Pilot Certification Unmanned
Aircraft Systems.
Form Numbers: 8710–13.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: Subpart C of title 14
Code of Federal Regulations part 107 (14
CFR part 107), Small Unmanned
Aircraft Systems, provides requirements
for applicants to obtain a remote pilot
certificate, and establishes procedures
for applicants to apply for such
certificates. Part 107 also refers to a
provision in 14 CFR part 61, as
applicants who already hold a
certificate under 14 CFR part 61 are
eligible to obtain a remote pilot
certificate by completing an initial
training course in a manner acceptable
to the Administrator.
Persons applying for a remote pilot
certificate with a small UAS rating
under part 107 must submit information
using the FAA Form 8710–13, Remote
Pilot Certificate and/or Rating
Application. For applicants who do not
hold a pilot certificate under part 61, the
Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating
Application is submitted along with a
documentation demonstrating that the
applicant has passed an aeronautical
knowledge test. For applicants who
hold a pilot certificate under part 61 and
meet the flight review requirements of
§ 61.56, the Remote Pilot Certificate
and/or Rating Application is submitted
with evidence of completion of a
training course.
The FAA has an electronic data
collection system called the Integrated
Airman Certification and Rating
Application (IACRA). IACRA is a secure
web-based application that uses online

validation and digital signatures to
complete the remote pilot certificate
application documents. IACRA
interfaces with multiple FAA databases
such as knowledge testing and airman
records for data validation and
verification. It automatically ensures
that applicants meet regulatory and
policy requirements.
IACRA improves the airman
certification process by checking for
data errors that cause rejected
applications. The certification
processing time is reduced since the
applicant, recommending instructor (if
required), and inspector/examiner can
complete the airman application online
and can submit the completed
application electronically using digital
signatures. OMB has used IACRA as an
example of FAA’s compliance with the
Government Paperwork Elimination
Act.
Respondents: Persons submitting an
application for a Remote Pilot
Certificate and/or Rating for Small
Unmanned Aircraft Systems, submitted
either in paper form or online using the
FAA’s Integrated Airman Certification
and Rating Application (IACRA)
website. Approximately 59,000
applications submitted annually.
Frequency: On occasion, once per
applicant.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: One
response per applicant per year; 14,750
hours total per year for all applicants.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 19,
2025.
