(1) On February 14, 2012, President Obama 
signed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 
2012 (Public Law 112–95; 49 U.S.C. 40101 note) 
into law, and sections 331 through 336 of such Act 
require the Federal Aviation Administration to fully 
integrate government, commercial, and recreational 
unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as 
‘‘drones’’, into United States airspace by October 
2015. 
(2) As the technology advances and the cost de-
creases—unmanned aircraft systems are already or-
ders of magnitude less expensive to purchase and op-
erate than piloted aircraft—the market for Federal, 
State, and local government and commercial un-
manned aircraft systems is rapidly growing. 
(3) It has been estimated there could be as 
many as 2,700,000 commercial unmanned aircraft 
systems sold annually in the United States by 2020. 
(4) There will no doubt be many beneficial ap-
plications for unmanned aircraft systems, including 
delivering goods, serving as early warning systems, 
performing search and rescue missions, and pro-
viding critical aid to those in need. 
(5) However, there also is the potential for un-
manned aircraft system technology to enable
