Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, We have 4 stories for you: Executive Order rumors for Drones, Ohio bill to allow Shooting drones Down, Wing and FlyTrex partner, and a successful rescue with a drone.First up, you've probably heard some rumors that President Trump is expected to sign executive orders around drones. First step. close your eyes, breath, and relax. With that said, the orders, which may or may not be signed on Friday, would reportedly include updates about Part 108, Section 2209 from the 2016 Reauthorization Act, Section 1709 from the 2024 NDAA, and potentially include a Department of Commerce final ruling. And none of these things are actually a surprise.Part 108 is the reported name for the beyond visual line of sight ruling that we expect to be coming later this year. Not sure what an executive order would do other than telling the FAA to speed things up. That's a good thing.And finally, the one we know the least about, the Department of Commerce final ruling. We're not entirely sure what this rule will cover, if it will be an NPRM following the ANPRM from a few months ago, if it will cover DJI, or just drones in general, and if it will be a final ruling.As soon as we know more, we'll be posting shorts, with full videos to come.Next up, this week, we've got some eyebrow-raising news out of Ohio. State Representatives Angie King and Ty Mathews are pushing for a federal 'Defense Against Drones Act of 2025.' Get this: the proposed bill, H.R. 1907, would allow homeowners to legally use a shotgun to disable a drone flying within 200 feet above their property. Yes, 200 feet – that's roughly two-thirds the height of a cell tower, a very common altitude for us.Why the push? The lawmakers cite growing concerns over privacy, property rights, and public safety. Representative King pointed to incidents in her district where drones reportedly caused alarm, threatened livestock, and raised cybersecurity fears due to foreign-manufactured components. She said, "The growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has led to serious concerns over privacy, property rights, and public safety, particularly when drones operate at low altitudes over residential and agricultural areas." So, this is their proposed fix for those local issues.For drone pilots, this is obviously a HUGE deal. Next up, Wing and Flytrex are teaming up. These two are usually competitors, so seeing them collaborate is a big deal for our drone industry! They're working together to share an automated air traffic and collision avoidance system. Think of it as an Unmanned Traffic Management, or UTM, platform specifically for their drone fleets.This system is designed to let both Wing, which is owned by Alphabet, and Flytrex, an Israel-based startup with a growing U.S. presence, exchange real-time flight plans and navigation data. The goal here is to make sure their drones can operate safely in the same airspace over Dallas without colliding. The technology will automatically adjust flight paths to prevent drones from being in the same spot at the same altitude at the same time. Flytrex has already completed 200,000 deliveries, and Wing is way up there with 450,000, so they both bring a ton of experience to the table.Shout out to Seattle Mountain Rescue, Great use of the drone to save lives! https://dronexl.co/2025/06/03/wing-flytrex-drone-air-traffic-system-dallas/https://dronexl.co/2025/06/03/drones-aid-in-dramatic-mount-si-teen-rescue/https://dronexl.co/2025/05/31/trump-new-orders-ban-chinese-dji-drones/https://dronexl.co/2025/05/28/ohio-lawmakers-drone-defense-act/

Two weeks after being sworn in, last Friday HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy announced, “effectively immediately, the [1971] Richardson Waiver is rescinded and is no longer policy of the Department.” He explained his decision by stating “the extra-statutory obligations of the Richardson Waiver impose costs on the Department and the public, are contrary to the efficient operation of the Department, and impede the Department's flexibility to adapt quickly to legal and policy mandates. “ The waiver, issued by President Nixon's HEW Secretary, Elliot Richardson, effectively meant HHS would use the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act's “notice of proposed rule making” (NPRM) process broadly and its “good cause” exception sparingly. (The APA essentially governs the process by which federal agencies develop and issue regulatory rules.) Secretary Kennedy rescinded the waiver citing APA language that exempts rule making, effectively public input, from matters “relating to agency management or personnel or to public policy, loans, grants, benefits or contracts” and permits departments to forgo public comment for “good cause” or when the procedure is “impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest.” Though Secretary Kennedy's decision will almost certainly be challenged in court, in the near term HHS can make significant, and now unquestioned, regulatory changes to, for example, the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Sec. Kennedy's one page, March 3 Federal Register notice is at: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-03-03/pdf/2025-03300.pdf. This is a public episode.

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update we have 4 stories for you, Countering CCP Drones Act Update, First Category 2 Drone, a brand new DJI drone model and the FAA authorizes commercial BVLOS flights without a visual observer. First up, a new senate amendment to the 2025 NDAA hopes to add the Countering CCP Drones Act. If enacted, the countering CCP language would revoke all FCC approvals for DJI and Autel products, effectively banning new mo dels and grounding current fleets. The NDAA still has to be voted on by the Senate, but the addition of the Countering CCP language would align the House of Representatives NDAA bill and the Senate bill on the issue. Now is a great time to reach out to your representatives and senators as we near the election to let them know this language would devastate our industry and reduce Public Safety's ability to effectively save lives. We'll update you as this progresses. Next up, the first Category 2 Drone has hit the DOC List! The DJI Matrice 3D and 3DT are now approved for operations over people under categories 2 and 3 using the AVSS parachute system! If you're unfamiliar with the Matrice 3D, it's DJI's Dock 2 aircraft. Both of the Matrice 3D and 3DT are variable categories between cat 2 and cat 3 depending on the winds. More approvals should begin to hit the DOC list as AVSS tests more parachutes! Next, there are some DJI leaks for a new drone! The DJI Neo hit the FCC database this week, showing a 2S, 1435mAh battery. According to DroneXL, DJI follows a “30% Rule” in battery to drone weight, suggesting the drone will weigh about 170g. Leaked pictures also show a possible prototype similar to a DJI Mini-series drone. Currently, there are no leaked specs for the drone and we can't verify the leaked images are indeed of this model. We'll keep you updated when we see more! Last up, the FAA has finally authorized the first commercial drone operation beyond visual line of sight without using a visual observer. The approval goes to Zipline and Wing Aviation. I'm guessing this is an approval without a waiver under part 135 since other operators have been able to do this under part 107 waivers. The FAA stated that companies are sharing planned flight routes with other authorized airspace users by using Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems. We are still expecting to see a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) later this year that would normalize BVLOS operations for drones. Finally, a quick Community update. We have our July Drone photo contest winner! This month's winner is Derek Paulsen, with his photo of a "Beautiful Mountain Lake Outside Glacier National Park". Congratulations to Derek, who will receive a custom made pilot institute trophy and a $250 gift card. We'll have another contest in August, so stay tuned for those details. That's it for now, have a great weekend, and we'll see you on Monday for the Live! https://dronexl.co/2024/07/26/senate-amendment-countering-ccp-drones-act-ndaa/ https://droneadvocacyalliance.com/ https://dronexl.co/2024/07/26/dji-neo-drone/ https://dronexl.co/2024/07/26/faa-avss-first-category-2-drone-flight-over-people/ https://www.avss.co/drone-parachutes/drone-parachute-recovery-system-for-dji-m3td-or-m3d-for-dji-dock-2/ https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/faa-authorizes-first-commercial-use-of-bvlos-drone-operations/
Innovations in Flight at the National Air & Space Museum, FAA preparing to address the public charter loophole, titanium components manufactured with improper paperwork, Southwest 737 MAX experienced a “Dutch Roll,” Lockheed Martin team receives Collier Trophy, and business jet found after 53 years. Innovations in Flight The annual Innovations in Flight was held June 15, 2024, at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air & Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, adjacent to Dulles International Airport. The outdoor fly-in features over 50 unique aircraft, flown in for one day only. Visitors explored the engineering and design innovations that have taken place during the last century of flight and talk with the pilots of vintage and modern aircraft on display. Again this year, Hillel Glazer flew his 1972 Piper Cherokee 180 to Innovations in Flight. He describes how aircraft are selected to participate, the process of arriving and departing from Dulles Airport, and the taxiway through the woods that connects the two facilities. Perhaps most notably, Hillel recorded conversations with some younger visitors, ages 7 to 13. In this episode, you can hear Johnny (Age 7), Alexandra (Age 8), Phoebe (Age 12), Luka (Age 12), and Jackson (Age 9). Jackson even has his own YouTube channel: Flight Pattern Talk with Jax. LIstener JD Gold (left) 777 Pilot for FedEx with Hillel (right). Reflections on the museum's architectural feature above the side door. Waiting in the conga line to depart behind the NOAA “P-3” Aviation News FAA Cracks Down On “Public Charter” Loophole, Bad News For JSX The so-called “public charter loophole” allows charter companies to operate from private terminals without some of the requirements that larger carriers are subject to, such as TSA screening and pilots with more than 1,500 flight hours. The FAA says they are now going to address this situation by issuing an NPRM that would amend the definitions of “scheduled,” “on demand,” and “supplemental” operations. Titanium in Boeing, Airbus jets lacks proper documentation, companies say Spirit AeroSystems used titanium that had counterfeit documentation and which found its way into both Airbus and Boeing aircraft. U.S. and European safety regulators are investigating, while the companies involved say the titanium is not a safety issue, only the documentation is deficient. US NTSB investigating 'Dutch roll' by Southwest Boeing 737 MAX The Dutch roll occurred at 34,000 feet on a flight from Phoenix, Arizona to Oakland, California. The lateral asymmetric movements of the roll were named after a Dutch ice skating technique. Pilots regained control of the plane which proceeded without additional incident, however, Southwest found damage to structural components and the NTSB and FAA are investigating. See: Yaw Dampers and video: What is a Dutch Roll? https://youtu.be/9Gt-IcCBiQ4?si=KgbVtTW57zTTswBc The National Aeronautic Association Recognizes Lockheed Martin with Prestigious Collier Trophy The 2023 Robert J. Collier Trophy was awarded by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) to Lockheed Martin for the team's work on NASA's OSIRIS-REx sample return mission which collected an asteroid sample in 2020 and returned it to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023. The OSIRIS-Rex team includes Lockheed Martin, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Johnson Space Center, the University of Arizona, and KinetX, among many others. A jet disappeared in Vermont over 53 years ago. Experts believe they've found it in Lake Champlain Air controllers lost contact with the Aero Commander Jet Commander 1121A ( N400CP) shortly after takeoff in 1971 over Lake Champlain in Vermont. It was only found after an underwater searcher located it recently at a depth of 200 feet. The NTSB will verify that this is the plane from 1971.

The Department of Justice's Drug Enforcement Administration on May 20 officially published its notice of proposed rulemaking that, if finalized, would reschedule marijuana from a Schedule I controlled substance to Schedule III: https://www.regulations.gov/document/DEA-2024-0059-0001 The Biden Administration signaled its intent to move forward with such a proposal earlier this month, and the NPRM's publication formalized that effort. The DEA's proposal said moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act would be “consistent with the view of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that marijuana has a currently accepted medical use, as well as HHS's views about marijuana's abuse potential and level of physical or psychological dependence.” That, ultimately, is the difference between the two scheduling levels, as previously reported. Schedule I drugs are defined in the Act as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” Those include heroin, LSD, ecstasy and, at least for now, marijuana. Schedule II drugs, in the terms of the legislation, show “high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence,” and are considered dangerous. These include combination products with less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone per dosage unit (Vicodin), cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone, fentanyl and more. Drugs classified under Schedule III, how DEA is looking to classify marijuana, are those “with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence,” and have a lower abuse potential than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs. Currently, these include products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit, like Tylenol with codeine, as well as ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone and more. Typically, according to Brandon Wiseman, attorney and president of Trucksafe Consulting and guest for this week's Overdrive Radio podcast, Schedule III drugs “are still controlled in the sense that they require a prescription.” As such, having a Schedule III drug in your system is not necessarily a disqualifying factor in DOT drug testing. The driver must have a valid medical prescription for that drug, and the medical review officer (MRO) that validates the results of the drug test has to be comfortable that the use of that drug won't impact the driver's ability to safely operate a truck. “Some prescription drugs will inhibit a driver's ability to safely operate a truck,” Wiseman said in the podcast. “And so we just weed those drivers out. Those drivers aren't going to be physically qualified. They're not going to be able to get a med card, for example, to be able to operate.” Hear much more from Wiseman in the podcast, and read Matt Cole and Alex Lockie's reporting on the rescheduling subject via these links: Cole: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15676307 Lockie's early two-part feature: **https://www.overdriveonline.com/15670141 **https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15670542/marijuana-legalization-trucking-and-the-future-of-drug-testing
In this Washington Update, we welcome back our frequent guest and public policy expert, Tom Netting, president of TEN Government Strategies, who joins us to discuss the latest developments in higher education policy coming out of Washington. McNaughton and Netting dive into the significant revisions to Title IX regulations, detailing the implications for higher education. Podcast Overview: Revised Title IX Regulations: Unpacking the Changes Expansion of Definitions: The new regulations have broadened the definition of sexual harassment to encompass "unwelcome sex-based conduct," a shift from the previously narrower "severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive" standard. Adjustments in Adjudication Standards: Institutions are now mandated to use the "preponderance of the evidence" standard for determining cases of sexual harassment, moving away from the "clear and convincing" evidence standard unless absolutely necessary. Elimination of Live Hearings: The updated regulations remove the requirement for live hearings, aiming to reduce the potential retraumatization of victims during the adjudication process. FAFSA Corrections and Their Impact on Enrollment The discussion extends to the recent corrections made to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and their potential impact on student enrollment: Resolution of FAFSA Issues: After significant updates, the FAFSA system aims to facilitate smoother enrollment processes, which could help stabilize enrollment figures that were feared to decline due to previous errors. Congressional Oversight: The upcoming hearing with Secretary Cardona will focus on these FAFSA updates, reflecting the critical attention these corrections are receiving at the governmental level. Developments in Student Loan Debt Relief The episode also covers the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on student loan debt relief, emphasizing its importance and controversy: State Legal Challenges: The NPRM has faced lawsuits from 15 states, highlighting the contentious nature of the proposed student loan debt relief measures. Public Comment Period: Stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the public comment process, open until May 17th, to help shape the outcome of these significant financial relief efforts. Enhancements to Program Integrity and Institutional Accountability Further discussion points include the negotiations affecting financial aid administration and compliance: Modifications in Resource Management: Proposals suggest that students might need to opt-in to receive resources such as textbooks and other materials, potentially changing how educational expenses are managed. Ongoing Negotiations: The complexities of these discussions could deeply influence how institutions administer student loans and maintain compliance with federal standards. State Authorization and Accreditation for Online Education The conversation also explores adjustments to state authorization and accreditation processes for online education providers: Regulatory Simplification: Proposed changes aim to simplify compliance across different states, potentially easing the operational burden on institutions offering online programs. Three Key Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Immediate Review and Adjustment to Compliance Measures: With the new Title IX regulations set to take effect soon, institutions must review and possibly revise their current policies and procedures promptly. Active Participation in Public Comment Opportunities: Leaders should ensure their institutions engage in the NPRM discussion, particularly around student loan debt relief, to influence policies that directly affect their students and operational structures. Preparation for Upcoming Accreditation and Authorization Changes: Universities offering online courses must prepare for the expected changes in state authorization and accreditation standards, ensuring compliance and minimizing disruption to student offerings.

Welcome to your weekly General Aviation news update, and this week we have 5 stories for you; small airplane crash, New Piper M700 Fury, FAA tells congress not to increase pilot retirement age, FAA advises to use analog NAVAIDs, and comments close for the 25 hour CVR rule. First up this week is a crash of a Grumman GA-7 Cougar. While we don't normally talk about small aircraft accidents, this one was recently rebuild by a popular YouTube channel called Rebuild Rescue. The aircraft departed Coatesville-Chester County Carlson Airport in Pennsylvania and crashed shortly after takeoff. Based on a map provided from Aviation Safety Network, the crash appears to have occurred less than 2 miles from the airport. The pilot and only occupant of the Cougar was killed in the crash. As usual, we're not going to speculate on the cause of the accident. We'll wait until the NTSB report is released, which may take a few years. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/351359 https://www.fox29.com/news/coatesville-plane-crash-chester-county-school-board-president-killed-in-small-plane-crash Second up this week is the new Piper M700 Fury! Piper has unveiled their new M700 Fury, a single engine turboprop with a 301kts max cruise speed, 3400 foot per minute rate of climb, and take off and landing distances under 2000'. The M700 Fury comes with a Pratt and Whitney PT6A-52 Engine, Garmin G3000 Avionics Suite with HALO Safety System, Garmin PlaneSync, and Garmin Auto land. The Fury has a useful load of 2,220lbs, a maximum rage of 1852NM, and a maximum approved altitude of 30,000'. At 4.1 million, I'm not sure your flight school is going to be picking one up but for those who can afford it, the M700 is a cool new turboprop airplane! https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/290413/ https://www.piper.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024_M700_SpecSheet.pdf Next up this week is the FAA and Congress discussing the potential of raising pilot retirement age to 67. The new FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker has asked congress to leave the current mandatory retirement age in place until the agency has had more time to study the increase. The pilot retirement age is now part of negotiations towards a 5 year FAA reauthorization act. Without another extension or a reauthorization act, the FAA's reauthorization will expire on March 8th, 2024 . We'll keep you up to date if we see any reauthorization updates or changes to pilot retirement ages. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/age-67-pilot-retirement-back-in-legislative-spotlight/ Third up this week is guidance for anyone experiencing GPS spoofing or other anomalies. The FAA is advising that pilot use analog NAVAIDs such as VOR or NDB if pilot notice issues such as: Report Link: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/nas/gps_reports SAFO: https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/airline_safety/safo/all_safos/SAFO24002.pdf Last up this week is that comments have closed of the 25 Cockpit Voice Recorder rule. If you're unfamiliar, the NPRM aims to increase Cockpit Voice Recorders from 2 hours of recording to 25 hours. This would allow the FAA and NTSB to better investigate incidents. Reactions to the NPRM have been mixed, with a number of comments expressing concern that the 25 hours of CVR will be used to listen in on pilot conversations or used to punish pilots with certain viewpoints. ALPA addressed this in their comments, suggesting that there should be restrictions on the use of recording or transcripts for administrative or disciplinary proceedings including by both Federal Agencies and by a pilot's employer. We'll keep you updated when we see the final rule. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/mixed-reaction-to-25-hour-cvr-rule/ https://www.regulations.gov/document/FAA-2023-2270-0001/comment Alright, that's it! Have a great week and we'll see you next week.
Welcome to your weekly General Aviation news update, and this week we have 4 stories for you; Atlas 747 Engine Fire, Zenith Aircraft Workshops, Comments on MOSAIC, and Three Years of Airplane News! https://youtu.be/RNItNKbjwBs https://youtu.be/UKHXfoKZxE4 00:00 Introduction 00:16 Atlas 747 Engine Fire 00:55 Zenith Aircraft Workshops 01:40 Comments on MOSAIC 02:18 Three Years of Airplane News Not sure where to start for your Pilot's license?

Go for Instrument: https://pilotinstitute.com/course/instrument-rating-made-easy/ First up this week is a crazy one, an Atlas Air 747 had an engine failure after taking off from Miami. Video shows the airplane's engine throwing sparks in bursts out of the back of the engine. It isn't immediately clear what caused the incident, but the FAA said the aircraft had a “Softball sized hole” above the incident engine. The crew returned to Miami and landed without injuries. We'll let you know if we see more. New up this week is Zenith Aircraft, who will be hosting a hands-on workshop for kit aircraft! The event will be February 23 and 24th at Boerne Stage Airfield (5C1), north of San Antonio, Texas. Participants will learn to read blueprints, drilling, blind riveting, will learn the process for assembling an aircraft, and will leave with an assembled rudder kit for a Zenith Aircraft. Fees for the event are $375 for a Zenith rudder kit, and 425 for a CH 750 model kit. If you're in the area, this seems to be a pretty cool workshop opportunity. Third this week is MOSAIC, which closed comments after a number of major aviation groups asked for tweaks. The primary requested changes include increasing the maximum clean stall speed to 57kts and increasing the number of passengers from one to three, allowing sport pilots the ability to fly more aircraft. As of Monday, the NPRM had more than 1200 comments. We'll keep you updated when we see a final rule from the FAA. Last up this week a big one for Pilot Institute, Three years of Airplane news as of this week! Thank you for watching, this channel is now at 13,000 subscribers and we're going to continue to release videos like our Fronts and Trim videos, If you haven't had a chance to check those out, be sure to! We also are continuing to expand our catalog of airplane courses adding more free deep dive courses and more courses to help you become a better, safer pilot. Alright, that's it!

On October 23, 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to “modernize and improve the efficiency of the H-1B program, add benefits and flexibilities, and improve integrity measures.”As a member of AILA, we received a draft of the NPRM yesterday. I read through the 220+ pages and have to admit that I was amazed by the data DHS provided, specifically with regard to the abuse of H-1B registration program.Nearly every immigration practitioner knew this abuse was happening because of the disastrously low number of selections we received, but I don't think any of us understood the full depth of the fraud.
In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, host Russel Treat sits down with Keith Coyle to discuss their experiences at the recent Gas Pipeline Advisory Council (GPAC) meeting on leak detection and repair. The episode provides insights into the process, changes observed in PHMSA's approach, and the challenges the committee faces in reaching a consensus on key issues. The conversation also covers the differences in perspectives between public representatives, industry, and state regulators, and the varying viewpoints on the efficiency of existing programs and the need for changes.

Last spring, the FCC issued an ORDER and NPRM covering a lot of stuff that originated with the 2015 World Radio Conference (WRC 2015). Um… checking our calendar, we see that it's 2023 and ¾. But who's counting?For hams, we care mostly about the part concerning 60 meters. And apparently not all that many of us care about that, but we're pressing on anyway. Back at the WRC, they officially approved a band plan for worldwide Secondary status for ham radio on a 15 kHz wide band between 5351.5 – 5366.5 MHz. With an effective power level of 9 Watts. Ugh.In this NPRM, the FCC is asking if that's what they should do. Or if they should thumb their nose at the world (as many other countries have done… especially Canada) and keep the existing 5 ‘channels' and 100 Watt (EIRP) power level. Or some combination of the above. That NPRM was issued last April. We've been waiting for ‘publication in the Federal Register' to make it official, and begin the 60-day comment period. And waiting. And waiting. That shoe finally dropped on September 30. But even though the NPRM promised 60 days, the FCC says you have until October 30 to file comments. We did the math. That's 30 days. We can handle that, but it is curious.Meanwhile, it's our chance to review East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ's Genius Plan for 60 Meters once again (because we' ve done like two shows about that just this year). And this is the first time West Coast Host David W0DHG gets to weigh in. David thinks it's too complicated. You decide… and file your comments by October 30.LINKS:— File your comments here, on the ECFS site— Review everybody else's comments here, also on the ECFS site— HamRadioNow's YouTube Playlist of our previous shows on 60 meters (way more than you think)— FCC NPRM with Gary's Notes (pdf)Gary's Genius Plan CHART (pdf)
The reclassification of broadband under Title II is one of the divisive FCC regulatory policy matters of the last decade. It was authorized under the leadership of former Chairman Tom Wheeler, and later erased by ex-Chairman Ajit Pai.On Tuesday, empowered with an all-important third Democratic vote, Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel revealed that she's introducing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that is being circulated among the Commissioners for consideration. This would open up for public input whether or not "net neutrality" is something the Commission should bring back.Rosenworcel formally announced the NPRM at a National Press Club event. This InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, offers comments directly from Rosenworcel on the plan to make "net neutrality" happen once again.
It's fun to see Ham Radio bantered about in the halls of Congress. At the end of a 3-hour hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's subcommittee on Communications and Technology last June, Arizona Congresswoman (and friend of Ham Radio) Debbie Lesko ‘grilled' FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel about the status of the proposal to replace the long-obsolete rules on HF data rates in Amateur Radio with something more modern… perhaps a 2.8 kHz bandwidth limit, and anything you can stuff into it. When's that gonna happen, Jessica?Rosenworcel acknowledged the need, but noted that the FCC's inquiry, back in 2017, is now ‘stale'. This seems to imply a renewed proposal (NPRM?), another round of comments, and finally maybe some action? In other words, don't hold your breath.Anyway, we've got the clip from the end of the meeting. Again, fun to hear us mentioned.This show is a solo anchor effort by East Coast Host Gary Pearce K4AAQ. David W0DHG and Jim NO1PC had family obligations. So after taking care of business, Gary brought in the HRN Discord Server's Studio 73… an audio/video room for our viewers to come chat. LINKS:Gary also noted that he'd never really seen ARRL CEO David Minster talk, so he included this interview on W1DED's YouTube channel.Here's the link to the YouTube video of that House Committee hearing.

NBAA joined with five industry associations in submitting comments on the FAA's notice of proposed rulemaking on the operation of advanced air mobility vehicles in the National Airspace System. While the NPRM represents significant progress toward the start of commercial AAM operations as soon as 2025, industry stakeholders noted a few concerns. The post Podcast: NBAA Responds to Proposed Rules on AAM Ops appeared first on NBAA - National Business Aviation Association.
On the Friday before a long 4th of July weekend, the FTC delivered some light beach reading in the form of a 100-page notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) “banning fake reviews and testimonials.” While banning fake reviews and testimonials seems uncontroversial, the proposed rule would actually do much more, including authorizing civil penalties for businesses that procure or disseminate deceptive (not just “fake”) reviews when they “knew or should have known” the review was deceptive and where the review fails to disclose the testimonialist's relationship with the business or product.

On today's episode of Full Spectrum, the Kelley Drye Communications team will be discussing several of the matters raised at the FCC's May 18, 2023 Open Meeting. First, (1:00) partner Chip Yorkgitis will cover a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would explore how spectrum in the 42 GHz band might be made available through one of several spectrum access models which have the potential to provide solutions in this evolving space. Second, (15:12) special counsel Michael Dover will cover a Report and Order, NPRM, and Order concerning accessibility for video conferencing services and providing guidance relating to the definition of “interoperable video conferencing service” under the Twenty-First Century Video Accessibility Act.
9 Years ago, Gary K4AAQ and Jeff AC4ZO (SK) did a HamRadioNow episode titled My Stupid Plan for 60 Meters. That was 12 years after we got those 5 ‘channels' on 60, and the ARRL was noodling about a plan hatched at the 2015 World Radio Conference to create an actual band at 60. Turns out Gary's plan really was stupid, but the show was a lot of fun.Well, it's 2023, and we're back… our Episode 477: 60 for 60 detailed the current state of RM-11785, the FCC's dithering proposal for maybe a little 15 kHz wide band (with a 9 Watt power limit
Fame!There's a Facebook group called Shit Two Way Installs. It's a private group, so you'll have to ask to join if you want to see it. But somebody - anonymously - immortalized Gary K4AAQ's Q-Mobile in what is described as a group dedicated to “those memorable two way radio installs that leave us shaking our head.” As well they should. Eat your little hearts out (and BTW, Gary is a member of the group).Before that, though, Gary, David W0DHG and Jim NO1PC have some Field Day tips, and then we check out some video of storm damage on the Santiago Peak site of a huge number of commercial… and a few amateur… repeaters and radio systems in the mountains east of Orange County, CA. Did we promise to review the status of RM-11785 (the 60 meter NPRM)? Well, we're going to hold that until next week when Gary's comments should show up. Officially, it doesn't look like it's been published in the Federal Register, so apparently the 60 day clock for comments hasn't started. But you can still file a comment? Not sure how that's working.
Back in the day, 11 meter CB was a gateway to ham radio. The real Novice license existed back then, but it offered limited privileges (phone only on 2 meters), and required Morse code (5 wpm). So for many, their first taste of radio operating happened on the 23 CB channels (later expanded to 40 channels). That was Gary K4AAQ's route. Ask ‘who got their start in CB' at any ham club and you'll find a lot of hands raised. But not David W0DHG's or Jim NO1PC's. Their route is more pure
Welcome to your weekly General Aviation news update, we have four stories for you; The FAA enters the 21st century with online aircraft registrations, B17 AD is released, Republic wants pilots to pay $100,000 if they switch jobs within three years and an FAA NPRM designed to overhaul the Flight Instructor certificates.
Alyssa-Rae McGinn and Jenna Farrell discuss this week's U.S. Department of Education notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on athletic eligibility under Title IX, which addresses rules regarding transgender student participation in school sports (Episode 82)
This week on the Full Spectrum podcast, Communications partner Chip Yorkgitis discusses the FCC's recent Notice of Proposed Ruling on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (0:51:-15:16), and Privacy partner Aaron Burstein discusses the recent NPRM on data security (15:17-26:49). (At the time of recording, the UAS NPRM had not yet been published in the Federal Register establishing comment deadlines. Publication occurred on February 7, 2023, setting a comment due date of March 9, 2023, and a reply comment due date of April 10, 2023.)
The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) is seeking comments on a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to refresh its customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”) data breach reporting requirements (the “Rule”). Adopted earlier this month by a unanimous 4-0 vote of the Commission, the NPRM solicits comments on rule revisions that would expand the scope of notification obligations and accelerate the timeframe to notify customers after a data breach involving telephone call detail records and other CPNI. The FCC cites “an increasing number of security breaches of customer information” in the telecommunications industry in recent years and the need to “keep pace with today's challenges” and best practices that have emerged under other federal and state notification standards as reasons to update the Rule. https://www.adlawaccess.com/2023/01/articles/fcc-seeks-comments-on-updates-to-cpni-breach-reporting-rule/ Aaron Burstein ABurstein@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8453 https://www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Aaron-J-Burstein Alex Schneider ASchneider@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8634 https://www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Alexander-I-Schneider Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.adlawaccess.com/subscribe/ Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - https://www.kelleydrye.com/News-Events/Publications/Newsletters/Ad-Law-News-and-Views?dlg=1 View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - https://www.kelleydrye.com/Advertising-and-Privacy-Law-Resource-Center Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw Hosted by Simone Roach
The Federal Aviation Administration published a long-awaited notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on Jan. 11, 2023, that would amend the applicability of safety management systems.

Pooja Babbrah, Pharmacy & PBM lead with Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), NCPDP Board of Trustees Chair, and host of The Dish on Health IT kicked off the episode. This last episode of 2022 featuring POCP Regulatory Resource lead, Kim Boyd and Payer & Provider Practice Lead and Da Vinci Program Manager, Jocelyn Keegancame together to break down all the big things that have happened in 2022 and what we expect for 2023. Pooja explained that while this episode's discussion will primarily be policy related, the panelists will also talk about some of the real progress being made in the standards world and the interconnectedness between federal and state health IT policy and legislation and between standards and policy, and what it means to the industry. Pooja asked Jocelyn and Kim to briefly introduce themselves and to tell the audience what topics they are most excited about discussing. Jocelyn introduced herself as the POCP payer practice lead, devoted to positive change and building/getting stuff done. She went on to say that her focus at POCP is on interoperability, prior authorizations, and the convergence of tech, standards, and product strategy. She explained that she has spent her career moving people and organizations towards APIs, unleashing data for their highest, best-purpose uses. She expressed that she couldn't be more excited about where we've been this year and the precipice of where we are headed next year.Kim expressed that it's always a pleasure convening with Pooja and Jocelyn to discuss the exciting world of health IT. She went on to share her background which has spanned medical and pharmacy operations and implementations, with years of policy, industry, and standards development work on ePA, cost transparency, ePrescribing, and taking what she learned in these areas to work with policymakers on smart policies to advance interoperability and patient care. Kim stated that it has been an exciting year leading POCP's Regulatory Resource Center and that so much is happening in the state and federal regulatory spaces that ties to the innovations and acceleration the industry has been experiencing in health care. Pooja thanked them both for their introductions and then dug into the discussion by asking each of them to share the biggest Health IT highlights of 2022. Kim explained that four things really stand out in 2022:the requirements of the transparency in coverage and no surprises act going into effect and the various provisions requiring data and cost transparency and giving patients and their care teams access to information that will help them make informed decisions. Many in the industry have been clamoring for transparency of this type for some time.The incredible work happening to advance interoperability via the SDOs and Accelerators, like HL7 Da Vinci, CodeX, FAST, and NCPDP's Pharmacy Technology and Innovations group. how Federal agencies are collaborating on aligning requirements for interoperability, like the use of standards and FHIR-based standards specifically. This collaboration and proceeding regulatory action will help align the technical and interoperability stars. the all-hands-on-deck focus on patient health equity is a big area of concentration for not only innovators in the market but the White House, HHS, standards organizations like NCPDP and HL7, and community and public health organizations. There is just so much happening to try and close gaps in equitable care and the data/digital transformation that needs to happen to help facilitate change. Jocelyn followed Kim to share her perspective on the biggest highlights of 2022 first joking that Kim got to go first and steal some of the things she was going to say.She laughingly shared that she agrees with all of Kim's points and then said that she wanted to focus more on the tone and the tenor of the work happening in the industry. Jocelyn shared that from her perspective it feels as though the industry has moved from thinking about interoperability projects as something that will happen "someday" to action and reality. She clarified that this may not be the case for everyone, but many organizations and projects are moving forward to not only do the IT work but the business transformation. The examples she gave included the real progress made on TEFCA, real-world deployments of FHIR guides, live usage of APIs, prior authorization (PA) on pharmacy getting an infusion with last year's Medicare Part DJocelyn added that she wanted to focus on and add to Kim's comment about coordination at the federal level. She explained that policymakers at the federal level have been working for well over a decade and using their levers to make change extraordinarily well. Jocelyn went on to say that as she sees it there are three camps of folks; people and organizations who are working ahead of policy by paying attention to published roadmaps and reading between the lines of public statements, folks trying to get their organizations prepared to respond to the next wave of policy, and others playing the waiting game to see if it's real and if they'll have to follow or if another path will emerge. Finally, she added, that the last highlight from 2022 is all the waiting! The industry keeps waiting for certain regulations to drop. She explained that she doesn't think she remembers another year where there has been this much policy anticipation at year-end. Pooja thanked Jocelyn and Kim for sharing their perspectives. She shared two important topics that have been more under the radar but are growing in importance and focus. The first is consent, specifically eConsent. Stewards of change published the report “Modernizing Consent to Advance Health and Equity” to bring more attention to the need to solve this issue – not only in the context of healthcare but also social services as those are such an important tie-in to health outcomes. Add to that, the ONC half-day discovery workshop on eConsent. Pooja explained to those who may not have attended – that it was an amazing session that brought together so many different people across the continuum of care in addition to the people working in the social services arena.The other area is pharmacy and the growing role of pharmacists in the care team and the work that is being done to ensure that they have access to more data and information to support care teams and support patients. Pooja explained that there has been a lot of movement by retail chains to add primary care services to their offering and community pharmacies are supporting more clinical services. This has led to more focus and a flurry of discussion around interoperability in the pharmacy space. Pooja gave the example of the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC) recently proposing adding a pharmacy-focused subcommittee which is a huge indicator. Pooja shifted the discussion to policy highlights, specifically, requirements that went into effect and whether the industry met the deadlines or is still working on it. She explained that she is thinking specifically of: No Surprises ActTransparency in Coverage RuleInformation BlockingKim jumped in by saying that with the No Surprises Act there is still some pushback and uncertainty about how providers are going to comply with having to pull together all the data to provide Advanced EOBs (AEOBs) and good faith estimates (GFEs) when there are multiple providers involved in delivering the expected care; however, the Da Vinci Project is working on advancing implementation guidance to support patient cost transparency. Kim encouraged folks and organizations listening to this episode to get involved in these efforts. Kim added that she expects to see more price transparency-related policies, especially given the latest request for information on AEOBs. Kim went on to say that compliance with the ONC 21st Century Cures Final Rule on information blocking has been a mixed bag. She added that she wished ONC had called this "information sharing" instead of information blocking. Kim went on to say that most of the non-compliance has been on the provider side because it is challenging when a provider falls under the rule as an actor but maybe the health system they work in does not, especially when the health system may hold the data being requested. She added that most of the EHRs have spoken with are up-to-speed on the full EHI sharing requirement. Jocelyn added her perspective on information sharing specifically around EHI. Technically all of this information needs to be put out there, while the industry waits for USCDI to fully encapsulate patient information, there is probably a lot of non-codified data in the system that isn't actionable or really useable. The EHR certification requirements will likely do more to move the industry forward. Jocelyn confessed that she fell down the RFI response rabbit hole and spent an hour looking at the feedback to the RFIs. She thinks there is a disconnect between the goal of the rule and how to operationally do the work. An example she provided was around PA and that it isn't automating the submission of the PA alone but how to automate the 10 steps that need to happen before a PA is submitted. Pooja shifted the conversation to ask Kim to talk a little about the state activity around price transparency and why it's so important for stakeholders to pay attention not only to federal policy but what's happening in the states.Kim agreed that so many organizations forget that state policy is a big part of the equation too. She shared that on the data and cost transparency side, states doubling down to move the needle on data fluidity. The POCP Regulatory Resource center has its finger on this pulse. From the required patient-specific cost, benefit, coverage, and eligibility data sharing to confirmation of compliance enforcement of the No Surprises Act and Hospital Transparency, just to name a few.Pooja concurred and added that many people forget the states can add enforcement teeth above and beyond federal enforcement. She then remarked that this has been a year of anticipation and asked Kim to share where the burden reduction and prior authorization rule that was shelved back in 2020 is currently. Kim responded by explaining that there has been so much anticipation and even angst for some when the original rule came out in 2020 but then was pulled back.So many in the industry have been endeavoring to fulfill the promise the Da Vinci CRD, DTR, PAS IGs provide on solving for medical PA. Probably the most promising sign from CMS is the rule sitting at OMB since mid-October, waiting for review and then ultimately release. Given OMB has a max of 90 days to take action on the review, health plans, vendors, providers, and their partners should be closely monitoring for OMBs response and action. Jocelyn joined in to say that the rule that came out in 2020 was definitely more than just burden reduction and it would have codified the use of patient-access APIs. She added that the 2020 rule didn't just require FHIR but named a particular implementation guide or "recipe" for the industry to use. Jocelyn anticipates that the version of the rule that has reemerged and is sitting with OMB likely includes Medicare Advantage plans which weren't included in the 2020 version. She's really interested to see what the NPRM will include. Jocelyn added that there is legislation pending that includes prior authorization and many are hoping the proposed rule drops before the legislation passes. Pooja thanked Jocelyn for bringing up the pending legislation and then moved on to ask about the recent CMS requests for information out there. She asked about what kinds of questions is the government asking and what do these questions tell us about where their heads are at? Jocelyn started by saying that the industry is seeing an unprecedented amount of coordination and policy-making activity. It has been a challenge to marshall the resources to respond to these RFIs and participate in the conversations and discussions these RFIs generate. Clearly, the industry is leading and the RFIs are an indication that CMS and ONC want industry input into their policymaking. Jocelyn went on to say that after reviewing the comments to these RFIs, the common themes were that the industry needs time and an incremental approach is needed but no one is saying what is being explored can't be accomplished. Kim added that she was struck by how aligned the agencies releasing these RFIs seemed to be on solving for interoperability, digitization, using/reusing or referencing FHIR resources for use and across different areas of health care, from the public health infrastructure, TEFCA, Certification of HIT, PAs and more, even the RFI from CMS related to the National Directory wants to hear from health care on the applicability of the use of FHIR standards. In transition, Pooja remarked that POCP and everyone on the podcast work in the standards development space through the support of some of the Accelerators like FAST, CodeX, CARIN Alliance, and of course, Da Vinci. She asked for the discussion to now cover the biggest accomplishments so far and what's expected in 2023. Kim responded by saying that while not officially announced, the CodeX PA in Oncology Use case – focused on solving for automating PA for cancer patients using the Da Vinci IGs is progressing to the Execution Phase. Members represented in this use case are payers, EHRs, physician groups, and health systems and they have collaboratively moved the needle on this use case and will execute the proof of concept for prostate cancer in 2023. Kim added that she is proud that NCPDP for their October Pilot launch announcement of the National Facilitator Model to strengthen pandemic and epidemic preparedness using industry standards and technology to enable pharmacies, prescribers, and government agencies to access real-time information on prescription, testing, immunization, and related data – across state lines - to support patient health interventions during public health crises. The model can also be used to effectively support public health surveillance.Jocelyn chimed in to express her awe at the pace of work on IGs and new use cases. She added that another big milestone is that FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) transitioned out of ONC into the HL7 Accelerator program. FAST progressed work on Security, Identity, and Exchange and they are pulling the TEFCA team in to align their work. She added that Da Vinci has made a lot of progress on Risk Adjustment, allowing payers and providers to share information to inform a change in a patient's risk status. Jocelyn went on to say that there are also some exciting real-world implementations happening with a specific shout out to the team comprised of MultiCare, Providence, Regence, leadership from Optum, and Da Vinci champions launching the first in the nation FHIR-based pre-authorization embedded into the clinical workflow. Pooja seconded the kudos for the NPCPD vaccine pilot and she also mentioned the CodeX REMS use case which is marching toward a pilot and is once again bringing NCPDP and HL7 together. Pooja went on to recognize Helios as an Accelerator that is starting to gain traction and the industry should pay attention to their work. Pooja commented that while price and cost transparency for the patient will always be a passion of mine, the growing role of pharmacists in the care team is another area she is really excited about. Additional services are being performed by pharmacists, the prescribing authority is being extended to pharmacists, and the need for standards and technology to enable clinical data to flow from pharmacists to care team members in other environments like doctors' offices and hospitals. Pooja continued by saying that the pandemic and really the Federal PREP act accelerated this movement. Now pharmacists can administer pretty much any vaccine on CDC's list, and there are around 25 states that allow pharmacists to prescribe HIV medications. Pooja explained that this expanding role and some of the regulatory requirements make pharmacy interoperability and connection with the rest of the care team critical. For example, for pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid, they must order or access labs for the patients. Unless pharmacists are in a health system they will likely not have access to a patient's lab report. If the industry wants pharmacists to continue to support providers and patients with more clinical services – there has to be a focus on interoperability. Kim agreed that it is an exciting time for the pharmacy community. The need for clinical and administrative data access, use, storage, and exchange to improve and coordinate patient care knows no boundaries – the whole of the care team, including the pharmacist, must be able to operate in an environment where this takes place. Kim added that the NCPDP Strategic Planning Committee Value-Based Care Subcommittee acknowledged that the industry is well positioned to support pharmacists as a part of a value-based arrangement and we have the standards to support all types of clinical care and exchange so pharmacists can provide services like dispensing, screening for Social Determinants of Health or taking and reporting labs or blood pressure, etc. 2023 will be filled with opportunities within the NCPDP standards development process, the industry, and policy, to further the role of the pharmacist, closing gaps in care and the innovations needed for the future of pharmacists as part of the care team.Pooja asked to do a round-robin weigh-in on TEFCA, HIPAA 2.0, and Health Equity. What's new, what's real, and what should our listeners be on the lookout for in 2023? Jocelyn responded by saying that each of these topics has so many sub-topics and what will be interesting is to see how these all intersect with one another. She added that there is a movement to the platform where companies are partnering to solve some of the challenges related to these areas and make data fluid but secure. Kim responded by saying that there is still confusion and conflict between HIPAA and the ONC Information blocking rules. Technology has evolved and new interpretations and requirements are needed that provide patient data security without limiting data sharing. The industry will see some movement from OCR in 2023.TEFCA is real and moving forward in establishing the infrastructure model and rules that will govern how different networks and their stakeholders (including providers, payers, and public health) securely share clinically relevant information with each other. Nine organizations have provided letters of intent to the Sequoia Project, the recognized coordinating entity on behalf of ONC, to apply to become QHINs including EHR vendors such as Epic and Nextgen, national networks such as the eHealth Exchange and the CommonWell Health Alliance, and tech vendors such as Health Gorilla. More organizations are expected to apply. It will be interesting to see how successful TEFCA will be in incorporating FHIR into the framework over the next few years There is a united effort that includes government entities, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, private payer groups, and community organizations working together to overcome disparities and improve equity. This requires improved access to shared clinical and social needs data. Just last week CMS released its “Path Forward to improving data to advance health equity solutions” which aims to increase the collection of standardized sociodemographic and social determinants of health (SDOH) data across the healthcare industry as an important first step towards improving population In closing, Pooja asked everyone to share what they are most hopeful to see in 2023. She kicked it off by saying that for her it's the continued focus on pharmacists. Kim responded by saying many great things are happening in health care and that she is excited as a patient. There is more focus on helping patients grow as consumers of their own health care, providing data and insights into what options are available to obtain quality, timely and cost-effective care. She also expressed excitement about working with industry and policymakers to advance medical ePA in 2023 via the HL7 Da Vinci standards and leading the CodeX work on a pilot to advance PA for cancer patients. She concluded by echoing what Pooja said about her excitement about leading and partnering with others at NCPDP to promote and advance the role of the pharmacist as a part of the care team. Jocelyn joined in to say that she is hopeful for the momentum that has built up and she is super excited to see stakeholders build their toolboxes and embark on real-world implementations. Pooja closed out the episode by thanking her POCP cohosts, Jocelyn and Kim, and wishing our audience the happiest of holidays and the best for 2023. She reminded listeners that they can find The Dish on Health IT on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or whatever platform they use to pick up their podcasts, including HealthcareNOW Radio and the Podcast Channel. And that videos of the podcast episodes can be found o on the POCP YouTube channel. Adding, Health IT is a dish best served Hot!

Podcast Summary In this episode, Drumm McNaughton and Tom Netting unpack the complex and sweeping proposed changes that have been released by the Department of Education over the course of June and July of this year. This important discussion covers the recently proposed changes to Title IX in addition to the Department's notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) regarding borrower defense to repayment (BDR), public service loan forgiveness (PSLF), and other critical issues left over from Neg Reg 2022. Podcast Highlights As Title IX hits its 50th anniversary, the Biden administration is working hard to fortify protections for vulnerable students, including alleged victims of all types of sex-based discrimination and abuse. Netting discusses the implications of newly proposed changes to several key issues related to student loan debt, which were not resolved during Neg Reg. Taken together, all the proposed changes emanating from Washington indicate that the Biden administration is heavily focused on protecting vulnerable students and making student borrowers whole.

For decades the FTC relied on its adjudicatory authority, applying its expertise on a case-by-case basis in administrative litigation, but now, FTC leadership seems to be shifting away from litigation to “legislative-style” rulemaking. What does that mean in practical terms? In this episode, co-hosts Jana Seidl and Alicia Downey speak with Adam White, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and co-director of George Mason University's Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State, about what FTC rulemaking looks like and what we can expect. Listen to this episode to learn more about how FTC rulemaking started, how it evolved, recent changes to the process, and where the FTC may be headed with rulemaking.

FAA Sued for Illegal Remote ID | Lawsuit Outcome to Impact UAS Policy, UTM, and UAS Integration Today's show is about RaceDayQuads, a hobby shop with a large financial stake in the sUAS do-it-yourself world, filing a lawsuit against FAA over Remote ID. They argue that Remote ID violates Constitutional guarantees. RaceDayQuads sued the FAA in April early 2021 and filed the above arguments on August 4, 2021. Next, the FAA will reply to the argument in writing, which is due September 3, 2021. Then, RaceDayQuads will reply to their reply, due September 23, 2021. After that, The Department of Justice (DOJ) and RaceDayQuads will argue in court in front of a judge, which will likely happen this winter. The ruling is expected in the Spring of 2022. The outcome of this lawsuit will impact UAS policy, UTM, and UAS integration into the NAS. Updates will come as the lawsuit continues What is the Lawsuit About? The argument alleges that tracking and recording GPS location violates the Fourth Amendment. The lawsuit cites Carpenter v. United States to assert that Remote ID is “more intrusive” than technology “already recognized as unconstitutional.” The argument alleges that the concept of FRIAs create a forced association with a private, dues-collecting organization to exercise privilege in the public airspace. This, the suit argues, is a violation of the First Amendment. The argument alleges that a private entity being able to deny access to public services violates Fifth Amendment protections. RaceDayQuads goes on to argue over the actual authority of the FAA. They assert that Congress has authorized the FAA to regulate “navigable airspace”…“above minimum altitude,” but that the Remote ID rule uses broader terminology than their authority, allowing themselves to regulate “airspace of the United States” (e.g., to the ground). The suit claims that backyards or below tree lines et cetera do not count as navigable airspace. As an aside, the suit also complains about not being able to register a park or one's back yard as a FRIA.
