Will the FAA be issuing renewals for current Section 333 exemptions?

Current 333 exemption renewal requests will be processed under the FAA's new Special Authority for Certain Unmanned Systems, 49 USC 44807. Exemptions for operations that can be conducted under 14 CFR part 107 will not be renewed. Requests for small UAS operations that require waiver (e.g. night operations, operations over people, etc.) should be submitted as requests for waiver under part 107.
