2120-AL16 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2120 Federal Aviation Administration FAA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Revision of ADS-B Out Requirements

The purpose of this rulemaking is to remove the requirement that all aircraft equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Out (ADS-B Out) must transmit at all times. This rule provides an exception to ADS-B Out requirements, removing the transmission requirement for certain operations carried out in the interest of national security. The changes would provide relief to those government agencies that operate aircraft equipped with ADS-B Out but require the ability to terminate the transmission signal when conducting national security, sensitive, intelligence, and law enforcement missions that could be compromised by the requirement to transmit flight information over non-encrypted signals.
