House Republicans Target FAA's Drone Restrictions

The House Transportation is going to be holding a hearing Wednesday about the status of the Federal Aviation Administration's regulations for commercial drones, The Hill's Tim Devaney and Lydia Wheeler report: "Pressure is mounting from the GOP and the business community for the FAA to approve the use of commercial drones, though, Republicans acknowledge the need to address certain safety and privacy issues."

In a separate development, Amazon has told the FAA  that it may move testing of the use of drones in package delivery outside the United States if regulators don't approve domestic testing, Bloomberg's Spencer Soper and Alan Levin report.
