What the agency says
This action extends the comment period for the NPRM titled "Designation--Restrict the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft in Close Proximity to a Fixed Site Facility" that was published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2026, to allow commenters additional time to analyze the proposed rule and prepare a response. In the NPRM, FAA proposed a process for operators and proprietors of certain fixed site facilities to request an unmanned aircraft flight restriction (UAFR); criteria to demonstrate the UAFR is necessary for: aviation safety, protection of people and property on the ground, national security, or homeland security; and identified the types of operations allowed in the UAFR.
