FAA EXPECTED TO ISSUE UAS REMOTE ID NPRM ON DECEMBER 20
December 3, 2019
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is on track to finalize its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the coming weeks (RIN: 2120-AL31, currently scheduled for publication on December 20, 2019). The forthcoming rule is expected to set out standards and policies for unmanned aircraft systems to operate in U.S. airspace and to address safety and security concerns raised by stakeholders such as law enforcement during the comment period. The FAA has said it views the forthcoming remote ID scheme as the key framework for integration of advanced UAS operations into U.S. airspace.
