3060-AL95 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3060 Federal Communications Commission FCC Facilitating Opportunities for Advanced Air Mobility, WT Docket No. 24-629

This proceeding seeks to modernize certain Commission rules to facilitate the deployment of advanced air mobility and uncrewed aircraft systems. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a rapidly evolving new sector of the aviation industry that includes novel kinds of propulsion and flight controls and which is expected to rely increasingly on automated technologies. Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) support a variety of public and private functions including infrastructure inspection, search and rescue operations, and package delivery, and hold the potential for expanded functionalities, such as long-range, large cargo deliveries. In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released in January 2025, the Commission explores several areas of the Commission’s service rules that are well suited for modernization to facilitate the deployment of various manifestations of AAM and UAS operations.  To that end, we sought comment in the NPRM on amendments to the rules that govern the operations of bands of spectrum to advance the goal of the safe and effective facilitation of facets of AAM and UAS services.
