So how far up do you "own" the airspace above your house or land? If an Amazon drone decides to fly over my property to fulfill a delivery, do they have to pay me? Do I have the option to use it for target practice? >:D

Let me make sure I understand this.
This data would be required to be transmitted through an internet connection?
What about the vast areas of the USA which will never have real internet access?
What about people who cannot afford, or do not want an internet connection on their premises?
angrybird:
Ooh, but I am already seeing one benefit here.
In rual areas of the USA, most people don't want any sort of unmanned vehicle flying over their property and infringing on their privacy. These are routinely shot down when people fly their drones over private property, and this even sometimes makes the news.
With this rule, you could simply register yourself a unmanned vehicle, and simply broadcast it as operating over your expanse of property 24/7/365. This should keep other vehicles away as they generally prefer to avoid collisions :-DD

Standard remote identification UAS would have to meet minimum performance requirements related to the following:
• Control station and unmanned aircraft location.
• Automatic Remote ID USS connection.
• Time mark.
• Self-testing and monitoring.
• Tamper resistance.
• Connectivity.
• Error correction.
• Interference considerations.
• Message transmission requirements for broadcast and Remote ID USS transmission.
• Message elements performance requirements for broadcast and Remote ID USS transmission.
• Cybersecurity.

Seeing how we have entire cities in the US lacking "cybersecurity", can't see how this will ever happen.
And yeah, the whole "internet required" part is ridiculous.

They will have to build this drone themselves in the first place.
Regulating "bad guys" is futile and even politicians aren't dumb enough to think otherwise. What such regulations really target is manufacturers of off the shelf solutions. I bet it's going to become illegal to sell drones that aren't backdoored by the government.
See WiFi - the FCC got tired of hunting people who modify their gear for higher TX power and instead banned devices that accept modified firmwares.
