4. How your request would benefit the public as a whole; 

Most of our current projects are publicly funded (i.e. schools). We are continually looking to cut costs in 

order to stymie the rising price tags of new construction. This is one step to help us get there. 

5. Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety, or how the exemption would 

provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rule;

6. A summary we can publish in the Federal Register Federal Register -

I, Chris Callen am seeking an exemption of the FAA's Sec 333 rules that does not allow the use of an 

Unmanned Aircraft to be used for Commercial purposes in regards to National Airspace Safety. I am 

simply petitioning for an exemption to provide enhanced management tools for our construction teams. 

Our small business hopes to be early adopters of this technology to further our company's reach. We 

see the value of the enhanced capabilities of UAS when it comes to large construction sites. With the 

proliferation of UAS in construction, we would like tC! help the safe implementation in our industry. 

Maintaining the rules set out by the blanket exemption, we see little risk in performing UAS operations 

on our jobsites. 

7. Any additional information, views, or arguments available to support your request; 

8. If you want to exercise the privileges of your exemption outside the United States, you must 

state the reason. 

I have no intention of using this exemption outside the United States
