And I'm not done yet. I pointed out to FAA (and to OMB who will also get insight into comments), that FRIA concept imposes up to $60 million in annual costs on recreational flyers not already members of AMA - $60 million in costs NOT considered by FAA in their analysis supporting the RemoteID rule.
