. UASPI also has in its possession all available manufacturer safety and user guides and specifications. Upon your request, UASPI can provide to you all applicable manufacturer documents. These additional aircraft fall within the limitations prescribed in the Exemption for weight, size, and performance. In addition, the additional aircraft may be safely operated within the Conditions and Limitations contained in the Exemption. In addition, the addition of the proposed five aircraft continue to support UASPI's public policy arguments and support greater public safety while providing a quality and demanded commercial good. The additional aircraft requested have also been included in exemptions previously granted bythe FAA, indicating the FAA'sprior consentto deem such aircraft safe. Specifically, the FAA has previously granted exemptions for these and similar aircraft in the following exemptions 11398, 11652, 11654, 11801, 12194, 12128, 11956, 11998, and 11066. UAS respectfully submits that this amendment qualifies for summary grant approval. The FAAhas previously granted exemptions for the operation ofthe additional aircraftrequested in this amendment. Similarly, as the proposed operations ofthese additional aircraft will be in full conformance with the other conditions and limitations ofthe Exemption, there is no need for the FAAto repeatthe analysis performed for the original exemption on which this amendment is based. For the same reasons, good cause exists to preclude the requirement to publish the requested amendmentin the Federal Register. Please feel free to contact me ifthere are any questions or any additional information needed to processthis amendmentto include these other aircraft onExemption 11584. Sincerely,

Ramsey Ammar
