Notwithstanding any other Federal requirement or restriction related to the transportation of hazardous materials on aircraft, the Secretary shall, beginning not later than 180 days after enactment of this section, use a risk-based approach to establish the operational requirements, standards, or special permits necessary to approve or authorize the safe transportation of hazardous materials by unmanned aircraft systems providing common carriage under part 135 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, or under other authorities, as applicable.
In implementing the authority in subsection (a), the Secretary shall consider, at a minimum— the safety of the public and users of the national airspace system; efficiencies of allowing the safe transportation of hazardous materials by unmanned aircraft systems; and the risk profile of the transportation of hazardous materials by unmanned aircraft systems, taking into consideration the likelihood, if any, that such operations will carry small quantities of hazardous materials.
The Secretary shall make such changes as necessary to conform the hazardous materials regulations under parts 173 and 175 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, to this section. Such changes shall not be required before the Secretary exercises the authority provided for in this section. In this section: The term hazardous materials has the meaning given that term in section 5102 of title 49, United States Code. The term unmanned aircraft system has the meaning given such term in section 44801 of title 49, United States Code.
