Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a final rule for the FCC on “Spectrum Rules and Policies for the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems, WT Docket No. 22-323”. The notice of proposed rulemaking was published on February 7th, 2023. An interim final rule was published on January 28th, 2025.
According to the 2026 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“This proceeding seeks to (1) develop rules enabling the use of the 5030-5091 MHz band for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS); (2) determine whether the Commission’s current rules governing flexible-use bands are adequate and appropriate to ensure co-existence of terrestrial mobile operations and UAS use; and (3) address the need of certain UAS operators to obtain a license in the aeronautical VHF band to communicate with air traffic control and other aircraft.”
I do not expect to cover this regulation in any detail in this blog. I would expect to announce its publication in the appropriate Short Takes post.
