Subsection (a) are the rules about altitude, etc.

Now, remember how well things worked out last time the FAA gathered stakeholders to come up with rules? Wonder how well it'll work out next time? AMA vs Amazon, Airline Pilots, AOPA, etc. Yep, Congress was clever and found a way to appease AMA and yet give FAA the tools to restrict as they please.
