51906 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 8, 2017 / Notices 

under 49 U.S.C. 106(l)(6). The MOA 

would establish the terms of 

participation in the Program and would 

identify the respective rights and 

responsibilities of both the FAA and the 

Lead Participant. A sample MOA can be 

found at faaco.faa.gov. The FAA expects 

to negotiate MOAs tailored to the 

specifics of each Lead Participant’s 

proposal. 

The Lead Participant will establish a 

process to meaningfully and effectively 

notify the local community about and 

garner its support for the proposed 

operations and any related limitations 

on UAS operations within the local 

airspace. The Lead Participant will, at a 

minimum, place this information on a 

publicly accessible Web site, which will 

be referenced on the FAA Web site at 

www.faa.gov. 

Lead Participants will engage in 

periodic exchanges with the FAA 

relating to the purposes of the project, 

including discussing and sharing the 

results of and experiences with the 

expanded UAS capability. Lead 

Participants will adhere to privacy 

policies specified in the MOA. Each 

Lead Participant will bear its own costs; 

no Federal Government funds will be 

provided through the MOA. 

Upon signing, the MOA will not 

include the transfer of any authority for 

airspace management or access. 

However, a purpose of the Program is to 

explore concepts for shared Federal/ 

State/local management of the NAS. 

Any approval of airspace use will be 

handled in accordance with existing 

procedures. 

The Lead Participant will share data 

with the FAA resulting from its 

development and testing of the concepts 

of operations consistent with the terms 

of the MOA. Such data will enable the 

FAA to study the effects of UAS 

integration into the NAS. In the case 

where the Lead Participant has 

established a time, place, or manner 

limitation on low-altitude UAS 

operations, data collected would 

support the FAA’s efforts to assess the 

relative effectiveness of various 

technologies and operational aspects of 

the safe integration of UAS into the 

NAS, as well as the economic benefits 

provided by the UAS operations. 

The FAA will provide a means for the 

Lead Participant and stakeholder 

partners to submit confidential or 

proprietary data concerning their 

operations. However, any operational 

data and general experience obtained 

through the partnerships will be 

available to the public. 

The FAA may terminate the MOA for 

any reason. The Lead Participant may 

terminate the MOA, subject to 

meaningful and effective notice to the 

affected community or population.
