Proposed Regulations For Small UAS Operation Have Been Forwarded To The OMB For A Final Look
After waiting for an extended time, the FAA has finally forwarded its proposed regulations for small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to the White House for a final review. According to a report on ‘hlregulation.com,’ this move presents the final opportunity for interested parties to have an effect on the outcome of the regulation.
According to the report, the proposed regulations must go through the office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (ORIA) for the review process. This office is located within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) which is part of the executive office of the president. In short, the purpose of this review is to determine if the proposed regulation complies with the administration’s guidelines and cost/benefit analysis.
The report says that the review is limited to 90 days. However it’s also pointed out that the review may be extended indefinitely by the head of the rulemaking agency, and that the OMB director also has the ability to extend the review process by 30 days. In other words, this important step towards final approval can still be dragged on for an extended period.
The report says that during the review process, the public at large, which includes all interested parties such as UAS manufacturers, operators, and other stakeholders may request to be involved in the process of this final approval progression. A request can be made for a meeting with the agency to discuss the rule content and the impact the rule will have on the stakeholder.
