sites.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, On December 30, 2013, the Federal Aviation
Administration announced that the states of Alaska, Nevada, New
York, North Dakota, Texas, and Virginia will host sites for the
research and testing of unmanned aircraft systems in anticipation
of future widespread operation of such aircraft systems in this
country; and |
| WHEREAS, Ohio and Indiana jointly submitted an application to
host a site and the application met the stated criteria that was
utilized by the Federal Aviation Administration in selecting the
sites, including geography, climate, location of ground
infrastructure, research needs, airspace use, safety, aviation
experience, and risk; and |
| WHEREAS, Of the six research and test sites selected by the
Federal Aviation Administration, none are located in the
midwestern part of this country; rather, four are located in the
western part of this country and two are located in the eastern
part of this country; and |
| WHEREAS, The Federal Aviation Administration has yet to
disclose the specific findings that resulted from its
decision-making process on this matter, and, until it does so,
legitimate questions linger as to how and why the Federal Aviation
Administration arrived at its final decision; now therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That the Federal Aviation Administration is
strongly urged to evaluate immediately all of the applications
that were submitted for consideration but were not selected and to
consider adding additional unmanned aircraft systems research and
test sites that are qualified and bring value to the mission of
integrating unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace;
and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the
President of the United States, the President Pro Tempore and
Secretary of the United States Senate, the Speaker and the Clerk
of the United States House of Representatives, the Administrator
of the Federal Aviation Administration, the members of the Ohio
Congressional delegation, and to the news media of Ohio. |
