To apply for a waiver through the Special Governmental Interest (SGI) process, you must be an existing Part 107 remote pilot with a current certificate OR a public agency with an existing Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). If the public agency is requesting an SGI under their COA,  they must operate a UAS that is either owned by the public agency or leased to the public agency for a minimum of 90 days (See Title 49 USC 40102(a)(41)(c) and (d). If the aircraft is flown by a remote pilot in command under Part 107, the aircraft must be registered with the FAA.
