NBAA: 'Urgent Need' for FAA To Issue Small UAS Rules
Agency issued a proposed framework earlier this year, though a final rule isn’t expected until next year.

A hearing yesterday before the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's aviation subcommittee highlighted the “urgent need” for the FAA to issue federal regulations for the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) industry, according to NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “It is now more apparent than it’s ever been that we urgently need guidance, through the established rulemaking process, that produces a national regulatory framework that enhances safety and creates a reliable set of operating procedures for UAS operators and the broader public alike,” he noted.
