Would a commercial EMS service that provides back up municipal 9-1-1 response and is contracted with general hospitals be considered a public operator, or would they fall under Part 107?

If they are not a government agency, meaning they are not recognized by their state as a political sub-division of the state, they cannot operate as a public aircraft operator.
