FAA renewal of Privacy ICAO Address information collection
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The FAA plans to renew its approval to collect information from aircraft operators that apply for a Privacy ICAO Address through a web-based process. The program lets eligible operators use privacy-focused aircraft address services, while still giving the FAA enough information to check eligibility, monitor safety, and support enforcement when needed. Aircraft operators that use or want to use the Privacy ICAO Address Program may be affected. The notice does not create a new operating rule, but it asks for public comments on whether the information collection is needed, whether the estimated burden is accurate, and how the process could be improved. Comments are due by August 25, 2026.
