On February 13th, 2026, the DOT’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a new information collection request notice in the Federal Register (91 FR 6976-6977) on “FAA Request Form for CUAS Coordination”. The proposed collection would support requirements for federal agencies and State, local, and tribal and territorial law enforcement agencies to coordinate with the FAA before conducting counter UAS operations. The notice reports that the FAA expects 100 coordination requests annually with a 100-hour annual burden estimate.
The notice explains that:
“Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Attorney General, the Secretary of Energy, State Local, Tribal, and Territorial Law Enforcement (SLTT) must coordinate with the Secretary of Transportation for certain Title 18 protections under 10 U.S.C. 130i, 6 U.S.C. 124n, and 50 U.S.C. 2661 authorities respectively. This data collection supports these laws.”
