Regulatory Framework;
? Cooperation in the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned
Systems (JARUS) on
UTM/U-Space and other regulatory recommendations under development;
? Collaboration with the Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA)
Remotely Piloted
Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Task Force on policy, rulemaking, regulatory,
and research and
development topics related to UAS and beyond visual line of sight
operations;
? Hosting the Sharing Best Practices for Managing Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (UAS)
With Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States
workshop in
Singapore; and
? Meetings with the Australia Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)
to share best
practices and lessons learned on UAS integration.
In addition, the FAA has assessed the European Commission regulations
for UAS remote
identification and compared them to the requirements in this proposal.
One difference between

185 As described by the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) Joint Undertaking, “U-space is a set of new
services relying on a high level of digitalization and automation of
functions and specific procedures designed to
support safe, efficient and secure access to airspace for large
numbers of drones.” https://www.sesarju.eu/U-space
269
the two is that the European Commission regulations require only a
remote identification
broadcast, whereas the FAA’s proposal includes both a broadcast and a requirement that the
same information be transmitted through an internet connection to a
third-party service supplier.
Another difference is that the European regulation requires the
broadcast of both the unmanned
aircraft registration number and the serial number, whereas the FAA’s
proposal uses the
unmanned aircraft serial number or session ID as the unique identifier
in the remote
identification message set. Other differences include that the
European regulation requires
message elements for the route course and speed of the unmanned
aircraft, while the FAA’s
proposal does not and the FAA proposal includes remote identification
message elements for
emergency status and a time mark, but the European regulation does
not. At the same time, there
are similarities. The European regulation and the FAA’s proposal both
include the position of the
unmanned aircraft and the control station as remote identification
message elements.
G. Environmental Analysis
FAA Order 1050.1F identifies FAA actions that are categorically
excluded from
preparation of an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact
Statement under the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in the absence of
extraordinary circumstances. The
FAA has determined this rulemaking action qualifies for the
categorical exclusion identified in
paragraph 5-6.6f of this order and involves no extraordinary
circumstances.
This rulemaking action provides a framework for the remote
identification of all UAS
operating in the airspace of the United States. It does not affect the frequency of UAS operations
in the airspace of the United States. The FAA has reviewed the
implementation of the
rulemaking action and determined it is categorically excluded from
further environmental
review. Possible extraordinary circumstances that would preclude the
use of a categorical
270
exclusion have been examined and the FAA has determined that no such circumstances exist.
After careful and thorough consideration of the rulemaking action, the
FAA finds that it does not
require preparation of an Environmental Assessment or Environmental
Impact Statement in
accordance with the requirements of NEPA, Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ)
regulations, and FAA Order 1050.1F.
XX. Executive Order Determinations
A. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
The FAA has analyzed this proposed rule under the principles and
criteria of Executive
Order 13132, Federalism. The agency has determined that this action
would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, or the relationship between
the Federal Government and
the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among
the various levels of
government, and, therefore, would not have Federalism implications.
B. Executive Order 13211, Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or
Use
The FAA analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning
Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (May 18, 2001). The
agency has determined that it would not be a “significant energy
action” under the executive
order and would not be likely to have a significant adverse effect on
the supply, distribution, or
use of energy.
271
C. Executive Order 13609, Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation
Executive Order 13609, Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation,
(77 FR 26413,
May 4, 2012) promotes international regulatory cooperation to meet
shared challenges involving
health, safety, labor, security, environmental, and other issues and
to reduce, eliminate, or
prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements.
For significant regulations that the agency identifies as having
significant international
impacts, the FAA has to consider, to the extent feasible, appropriate,
and consistent with law,
any regulatory approaches by a foreign government that the United
States has agreed to consider
under a regulatory cooperation council work plan. A significant
regulatory action under
Executive Order 13609 has the same meaning as in section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866. An
international impact, as defined in Executive Order 13609, means “a
direct effect that a proposed
or final regulation is expected to have on international trade and
investment, or that otherwise
may be of significant interest to the trading partners of the United
States.”
As discussed in the International Compatibility and Cooperation
section of this proposed
rule, in keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on
International Civil Aviation, the
FAA seeks to conform to International Civil Aviation Organization
Standards and
Recommended Practices to the maximum extent practicable. The FAA has
reviewed the
corresponding ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices and has
identified no differences
with these regulations. Additionally, the FAA regularly reaches out to
its international partners
on a bi-lateral and multi-lateral basis to harmonize regulations to
the maximum extent possible.
Thus, the FAA believes that the proposed rule should have no effect on international regulatory
cooperation.
272
XXI. Tribal Considerations
Consistent with Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian
Tribal Governments,
186 and FAA Order 1210.20, American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Consultation Policy and Procedures,
187 the FAA ensures that Federally Recognized Tribes
(Tribes) are given the opportunity to provide meaningful and timely
input regarding proposed
Federal actions that have the potential to affect uniquely or
significantly their respective Tribes.
At this point, the FAA has not identified any unique or significant
effects, environmental or
otherwise, on tribes resulting from this proposed rule.
XXII. Privacy
With regard to the information manufacturers and operators may submit
in accordance
with this proposed rule’s requirements, the FAA conducted a privacy
impact assessment (PIA)
under section 522(a)(5) of division H of the FY 2005 Omnibus
Appropriations Act, Public Law
108-447, 118 Stat. 3268 (Dec. 8, 2004) and section 208 of the
E-Government Act of 2002,
Public Law 107-347, 116 Stat. 2889 (Dec. 17, 2002). The PIA found the
NPRM requirements
that affect privacy include: the registration of the UAS with the FAA,
the transmission of data
from the UAS to Remote ID USS, the broadcast of data from standard
remote identification UAS
to any person capable of receiving broadcasts, the use of PII in the manufacturer’s declaration of
compliance, and the use of PII in applications to establish
FAA-recognized identification areas
for UAS flying.

186 65 FR 67249 (Nov. 6, 2000).
187 FAA Order No. 1210.20 (Jan. 28, 2004), available at http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/1210.pdf.
273
The PIA points to several mitigation strategies including: limiting
collection to only
relevant and necessary PII, limiting the use of PII to the specific
purpose for which it was
collected, using security measures to protect PII collected, notifying individuals of collection
practices prior to collection, and the voluntary nature of all PII
submitted. Additionally, the FAA
would enter into contractual agreements with the Remote ID USS
including directions for the
use, protection, and storage of the data. Section XIV discusses the
data security requirements the
FAA intends to impose upon FAA-qualified Remote ID USS. Although the
message elements
themselves would be publicly accessible information, the ability to cross-reference that
information with registry data would not be publicly available and
would be limited to the FAA
and law enforcement for security purposes.
In the 2016 Rule, the FAA acknowledged various organizations’ and
commenters’
concerns regarding the use of small UAS to collect information about individuals. In that rule,
the FAA noted that privacy concerns were beyond the scope of the FAA’s
mission to ensure
safety and efficiency of aviation operations in the airspace of the
United States, but discussed
various methods by which the FAA intended to continue addressing
privacy concerns through
engagement and collaboration with the public, stakeholders, and other
agencies with authority
and subject matter expertise in privacy law and policy.
As part of the PIA, the FAA analyzed the effect the proposed rule
might have on
collecting, storing, and disseminating personally identifiable
information (PII) of manufacturers
and UAS operators. The FAA also examined and evaluated protections and alternative
274
information-handling processes in developing the proposed rule to
mitigate potential privacy
risks. A copy of the draft PIA is posted in the docket for this
rulemaking.188
