On Thursday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA) announced
that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking from the DOT’s Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for “Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft
Systems” (UAS).
The abstract for this rulemaking in the Spring 2019 Unified
Agenda notes:
“This action would implement
system(s) for the remote identification of certain unmanned aircraft systems.
The remote identification of unmanned aircraft systems in the national airspace
system would further address security and law enforcement concerns regarding
the further integration of these aircraft into the national airspace while also
enabling greater operational capabilities by these same aircraft.”
I suspect that this rulemaking will be limited to larger,
commercial UAS not the smaller hobbies drones.
