To avoid a possible collision with a manned airplane, you estimate that your small UA climbed to an altitude greater than 600 feet AGL. To whom must you report the deviation?
Upon request of the Federal Aviation Administration. (Deviations from the regulation should only be reported upon request from the Administrator, as highlighted is 107.21.)

See lessWhen using a small unmanned aircraft in a commercial operation, who is responsible for informing the participants about emergency procedures?
The Remote Pilot in Command. (14 CFR Part 107.19 states that "the remote pilot in command is directly responsible for and is the final authority as to the operation of the small unmanned aircraft system." This includes briefing for emergency situations.)

(14 CFR 107.19(c) states that “the remote pilot in command must ensure that the small unmanned aircraft will pose no undue hazard to other people, other aircraft, or other property in the event of a loss of control of the aircraft for any reason. Note that receiving clearance from ATC is only required in controlled airspace, so this answer would not be appropriate all the time.)

(According to 14 CFR Part 107.12, the Remote Pilot in command must hold a Remote Pilot certificate.)
See lessWhich crewmember is required to be under the direct supervision of the Remote PIC when operating an sUAS?
Person manipulating the controls. (14 CFR Part 107.12(b) states that in order to operate a UAS under Part 107, one must be under the direct supervision of a remote pilot in command and the remote pilot in command has the ability to immediately take direct control of the flight of the small unmannedRead more

This means the person manipulating the controls, if they are not certificated, would have to be under the supervision of a rPIC.)
See lessWho is ultimately responsible for preventing a hazardous situation before an accident occurs?
