Today, DOT’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (91 FR 24650-24704) on “Designation-Restrict the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft in Close Proximity to a Fixed Site Facility”. The rulemaking would implement section 2209, of the FAA Extension, Safety and Security Act of 2016 {PL 114-190 (130 STAT. 634)}. FAA proposes a new part 74 to implement this mandate and properly balance FAA's other statutory mandates.
More details about the provisions of this rule will be covered in future posts.
