Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Announces Progress on Key Drone Rules as Part of His Innovation Agenda

New rules will speed up deployment, enhance safety 

WASHINGTON, DC. – The Federal Aviation Administration’s two proposed rules – Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations (BVLOS) and restricting UAS operations at a fixed site facility – were recently submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which is a key step towards making these regulatory improvements a reality. 

“From drones delivering your packages to conducting critical infrastructure inspections, unmanned aircraft represent the future of aviation. As part of my innovation agenda, we’ve put forward two long-overdue rules that will speed up deployment and enhance safety. Under President Trump’s leadership, this Department will continue to push to bring about the next wave of innovation in our skies,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.
