The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the development of this proposed rule. This proposed rule is necessary to support the integration of UAS into the national airspace system (NAS). This proposed rule is intended to provide a predictable and clear pathway for safe, routine, and scalable UAS operations that include package delivery, agriculture, aerial surveying, civic interest, operations training, demonstration, recreation, and flight testing. TSA proposes to make complementary changes to its regulations to ensure it can continue to impose security measures on these operations under its current regulatory structure for civil aviation.","document_number":"2025-14992","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/07/2025-14992/normalizing-unmanned-aircraft-systems-beyond-visual-line-of-sight-operations","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-08-07/pdf/2025-14992.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-14992.pdf?1754484350","publication_date":"2025-08-07","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","name":"Homeland Security Department","id":227,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/homeland-security-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/227","parent_id":null,"slug":"homeland-security-department"},{"raw_name":"Transportation Security Administration","name":"Transportation Security Administration","id":494,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-security-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/494","parent_id":227,"slug":"transportation-security-administration"}],"excerpts":"In addition, the Transportation <span class=\"match\">Security</span> Administration (TSA) is proposing revisions to its regulations to ensure that the decision to regulate these UAS <span class=\"match\">operations</span> <span class=\"match\">under</span> part 108 does not inadvertently create a <span class=\"match\">security</span> gap <span class=\"match\">under</span> TSA regulations. <span class=\"match\">Under</span> this proposal, which has been developed in consultation with FAA, TSA would continue to ensure the <span class=\"match\">security</span> of the national airspace by imposing appropriate <span class=\"match\">security</span> requirements.
