(b)Assessment of UTM Services In making the determination under subsection (a), the Administrator shall assess, at a minimum, whether the proposed UTM services, as a result of their operational capabilities, reliability, intended use, areas of operation, and the characteristics of the aircraft involved, will maintain the safety and efficiency of the national airspace system and address any identified risks to manned or unmanned aircraft and persons and property on the ground. ###
(c)Requirements for Safe Operation If the Administrator determines that certain UTM services may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Administrator shall establish requirements for their safe operation in the national airspace system. ###
(d)Expedited Procedures The Administrator shall provide expedited procedures for making the assessment and determinations under this section where the UTM services will be provided primarily or exclusively in airspace above areas in which the operation of unmanned aircraft poses low risk, including but not limited to croplands and areas other than congested areas. ###
(e)Consultation In carrying out this section, the Administrator shall consult with other Federal agencies, as appropriate. ###
(f)Preexisting UTM Services Approvals Nothing in this Act shall affect or delay approvals, waivers, or exemptions granted by the Administrator for UTM services already in existence or approved by the Administrator prior to the date of enactment of this Act, including approvals under the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability.
