House Transportation Committee Urges DOT and FAA to Meet Deadlines for Expanding Drone Operations
October 28, 2024
The FAA Reauthorization Act, signed into law on May 16, 2024, directs the FAA to develop a consistent regulatory framework for BVLOS drone operations, marking a crucial shift from the current approach. Under Section 930 of the Act, the FAA must issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) within four months and finalize the rule within twenty months. However, the NPRM deadline has passed, and the FAA has indicated a potential delay in issuing the proposed rule until January 2025.

As you know, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 became law on May 16, 2024.
Section 930 of the Act directed the FAA to establish a performance-based framework for BVLOS
operations of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).This section requires the publication of a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) within four months of enactment and a final rule within
twenty months of enactment. The deadline to issue an NPRM has passed, and it is now our
understanding that the proposed rule may not be issued until January 2025, at the earliest.
It is concerning the failure to comply with statutory instructions may also result in the delay of a final
rule.
