[The Section 333 Exemption process provides operators who wish to pursue safe and legal entry into the NAS a competitive advantage in the UAS marketplace, thus discouraging illegal operations and improving safety. It is anticipated that this activity will result in significant economic benefits, and the FAA Administrator has identified this as a high priority project to address demand for civil operation of UAS for commercial purposes. ] M y r e q u e st b e n efi t s t h e pub lic as a wh ole b y p rovi d i n g a n o p p o rt un i ty for small b u si n ess owne rs, r e a l est a t e agents, a n d ot h e rs w h o w ish t o d o c u ment th e i r l a n d or p ro p e rty t o t a ke a d va n t age o f th e t ec hn o l ogy th a t n ow e x ist s in t h e fo rm of UAS’s a n d all ow s th em t o d o so u si n g a n ex p e r i e n c ed UAS Pi l ot t h at u n d e rst a nd s h ow to s a fely o p e r a t e s u c h t ec h n ol o gy .**Rea s**  **on s**  **wh y**  **t h**  **e e** **xe m**  **p t**  **i on**  **w o**  **u l**  **d n**  **ot a**  **d v** **e r** **se l** **y a**  **ff e**  **ct s**  **a f** **e ty,**  **o r**  **h ow**  **t h**  **e e** **xe m**  **p t**  **i on**  **w o**  **u l**  **d**
