The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on February 2, 2024. The collection involves conducting research in the form of written responses or interviews with aviation stakeholders (e.g., airport/droneport operators, private entities, original equipment manufacturers, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) industry vendors, academia, representatives of the military, aviation stakeholders, etc.) to catalog current and planned droneport planning, design, and infrastructure needs, as well as find out which airports are integrating UAS into the airport environment. During each interview, the FAA will ask the stakeholders a specific set of questions, and if necessary, fact-specific follow-up questions will be posed to clarify and enhance the respondent's answers to the specified set of questions. If preferred, stakeholders will be able to provide written responses in lieu of an interview. The information to be collected is necessary because it will allow the FAA to understand how aviation stakeholders are integrating UAS into existing airport design standards/infrastructure and standalone facilities also referred to as droneports. Currently, no formal FAA definition of droneport exists. Based on the results of this research effort, the FAA may develop a formal definition for a droneport. For the purposes of this research effort, a modified version of the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1 definition of `airport' is used to define droneport: `an area of land or water that is used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of UAS aircraft, and includes its buildings and facilities, if any.' The information collected will also be used to help the FAA shape future droneport research efforts and possible standards and guidance material.","document_number":"2026-05603","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/03/23/2026-05603/agency-information-collection-activities-requests-for-comments-clearance-of-a-new-approval-of","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-03-23/pdf/2026-05603.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-05603.pdf?1774010715","publication_date":"2026-03-23","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"}],"excerpts":"Title: \n <span class=\"match\">Unmanned</span> <span class=\"match\">Aircraft</span> System (UAS) Integration at Airports and Necessary Planning, Design, and Physical Infrastructure Needs.\n \n \n Form Numbers: \n None.\n \n \n Type of Review: \n New information collection.\n \n \n Background: \n The \n Federal <span class=\"match\">Register</span> \n Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on February 2, 2024 (89 FR 7435).

Specifically, this document adopts service rules under new rule part 88 that provide operators the ability to obtain direct frequency assignments in a portion of the 5030-5091 MHz band for non-networked operation. Under these rules, one or more dynamic frequency management systems (DFMSs) will manage and coordinate access to the spectrum and enable its safe and efficient use, by providing requesting operators with temporary frequency assignments to support UAS control link communications with a level of reliability suitable for operations in controlled airspace and other safety-critical circumstances. To address concerns regarding the impact of these aeronautical operations on adjacent services, this document locates these operations, for now, in the central part of the band, with substantial separation from the bands adjacent to the 5030- 5091 MHz band.","document_number":"2024-29967","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/08/2024-29967/spectrum-rules-and-policies-for-the-operation-of-unmanned-aircraft-systems","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-01-08/pdf/2024-29967.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-29967.pdf?1736257516","publication_date":"2025-01-08","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"definitions for <span class=\"match\">unmanned</span> <span class=\"match\">aircraft</span> systems and <span class=\"match\">unmanned</span> <span class=\"match\">aircraft</span>, as well as other terms, including non-networked access operations, and control and non-payload communications.
