{"abstract":"In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) seeks comment on additional means by which the Commission can continue to fulfill its public interest mandate and achieve American drone dominance. The Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Office of Engineering and Technology seek input on an array of reforms the Commission might take to unleash American drone dominance, including: alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens; ensuring that American drone manufacturers and users have sufficient spectrum for drone testing and operations; facilitating and encouraging American firms' investment in drone capabilities, infrastructure development, and innovative and advanced capabilities; ensuring regulatory clarity and technical access for United States- based manufacturers and trusted suppliers; coordinating more effectively with other federal agencies; streamlining the Commission's experimental licensing rules; and establishing additional dedicated drone innovation zones or testbeds in partnership with other entities.","action":"Notice and request for comments.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2026/04/16/2026-07381.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"91 FR 20441","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2026-05-01","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Interested parties may file comments on or before May 1, 2026; and reply comments on or before May 18, 2026.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["GN Docket No. 26-74","WT Docket Nos. 22-323 and 24-629","DA 26-314","FR ID 340786"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2026-07381","effective_on":null,"end_page":20446,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/04/16/2026-07381.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/16/2026-07381/unleashing-american-drone-dominance","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-07381?publication_date=2026-04-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-04-16/2026-07381/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":6,"page_views":{"count":209,"last_updated":"2026-04-17 02:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-16/pdf/2026-07381.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-07381.pdf?1776257115","publication_date":"2026-04-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/04/16/2026-07381.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"FCC","document_id":"FCC-2026-1461-0001","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-04-17T04:55:03Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":20441,"subtype":null,"title":"Unleashing American Drone Dominance","toc_doc":"Unleashing American Drone Dominance","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":91}
