AI Summary
This bill, the Seeing Objects at Altitude Regularly Act (SOAR Act), requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish an Aviation Rulemaking Committee to make recommendations on continuous aircraft tracking and transmission of identity, altitude, and location data for high altitude balloons. The bill directs the FAA to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking within 180 days of receiving the Committee's report, and to coordinate with foreign authorities to develop standards for continuous aircraft tracking and transmission systems for high altitude balloons operating outside the National Airspace System. During an interim period before the final rule is issued, the bill imposes a requirement that high altitude balloons meet certain existing FAA regulations for aircraft tracking and transmission.
