Drone Law
On July 17, 2026, the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) and Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) released Public Notice DA 26-742, proposing to prohibit the continued importation and marketing of previously authorized drones, drone components, and video surveillance equipment produced by nine companies — including agricultural drone maker XAG. The proceeding is PS Docket No. 26-184, and comments are due 30 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register.
Before you panic: this is a proposal, not a final rule, and even if adopted it would NOT make it illegal to fly equipment you already own. Here is what the proposal actually does, who it affects, and what you should do about it.
