00 2023-06-09 Introduced in House 2024-02-23T20:25:20Z <p>This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to publish guidance and implementation procedures for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as drones, that specifically address environmental assessments and reviews. </p> <p>For instance, the FAA guidance and implementation procedures must </p> <ul> <li>provide guidance for nationwide programmatic approaches for large-scale distributed UAS operations to leverage environmental assessments or environmental impact statements for subsequent related actions, </li> <li>contain intra-agency process improvements to avoid providing conflicting safety and environmental feedback to operators, and </li> <li>prioritize proposed projects or activities that can be shown to contain specific factors that benefit the environment (e.g., offsets or limits the impacts of non-zero emission activities).</li> </ul> <p>The bill also directs the FAA, to the maximum extent practicable, to concurrently conduct reviews and analyses for an environmental assessment required as part of the review of a UAS's design, construction, maintenance and operational sustainability, airworthiness approval, or operational approval.</p> <p>Further, the FAA must develop and establish substantive criteria and standards metrics to determine the airworthiness of an unmanned aircraft based on specific noise standards. </p>
