USA - Seeking Comment on Prohibiting the Importation and Marketing of Certain Covered UAS and UAS Critical Components and Equipment Listed in Section 1709 of FY2025 NDAA

​The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) and Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) are seeking public comment on a proposal to prohibit the continued importation and marketing of certain previously authorized equipment that has been determined to pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security or the safety and security of U.S. persons. 

​The proposal would apply to specified foreign-produced unscrewed aircraft systems (UAS), critical UAS components, and certain communications and video surveillance equipment that were added to the FCC's Covered List in December 2025 pursuant to the FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act. 

If adopted, the prohibitions would restrict the importation and sale of these products in the United States despite their prior authorization by the FCC.
