"By late spring, we plan to finalize Part 107, our small UAS rule, which will allow for routine commercial drone operations," Huerta said at an event in May, reiterating the proposed timeline. Pointing out that its drones require minimal human intervention, Amazon recommended that the rules "specifically permit the operation of multiple small UAS by a single UAS operator when demonstrated that this can be done safely." New safety rules in the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 2016, passed by the U.S. Senate in April, propose a pilot program to develop and test technologies to intercept or shut down drones when they are near airports. To avoid conflict between the variety of laws enacted by the states and federal regulations on drones, the bill has proposed that the FAA rules on drones get preemption over local and state laws.
