38. Drones are highly regulated by the FAA

Clearly that would be a Federal responsibility for enforcement

Drone operators are required to comply with state and local requirements, inform the local community of their operations, obtain an FAA Part 135 Certificate and Airspace Authorization, establish a hub and delivery infrastructure, comply with NEPA, and respond to public inquiries concerning their operations.

Drone operators are responsible for mitigating adverse environmental impacts by implementing mitigation measures and/or best management practices identified in the NEPA document. Environmental resource categories requiring mitigation may include noise, wildlife, historic resources, and others.

Drone operators that want to conduct small package delivery must use the FAA’s existing Part 135 certification process and obtain an exemption or waiver to provide drone package deliveries using BVLOS. All part 135 applicants must go through the full five phases of the certification process.

The FAA issues air carrier certificates to U.S. applicants based on the type of services they plan to provide and where they want to conduct their operations. Operators must obtain airspace authorizations and air carrier or air operator certificate before they can begin operations.
