WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. government’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is reviewing a pair of regulations that could open the floodgates for commercial drone operations nationwide.
The Department of Transportation this month announced that Secretary Sean Duffy submitted the FAA’s highly anticipated proposals for Part 108 and Section 2209 to OIRA. The OIRA interagency review is the final step before the proposed rules—which have languished in regulatory limbo for years—are published in the Federal Register for public comment.
