days after the date of enactment of the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 2017 , the Administrator shall develop a plan for the certification, permitting, authorizing, or allowing of the deployment of technologies or systems for the detection and mitigation of unmanned aircraft systems. (2) Contents The plan shall include the development of policies, procedures, or protocols that will allow appropriate officials of Federal, State, or local agencies requesting to utilize such technologies or systems to take steps to detect and mitigate potential airspace safety threats posed by unmanned aircraft system operations. (3) Aviation rulemaking advisory committee The Administrator may charter an aviation rulemaking advisory committee to make recommendations for such a plan and any standards that the Administrator determines may need to be developed with respect to such technologies or systems. The Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) shall not apply to an aviation rulemaking advisory committee chartered under this paragraph. (c) Airspace Hazard Mitigation Program In order to test and evaluate technologies or systems to detect and mitigate potential airspace safety threats posed by unmanned aircraft system operations, the Administrator shall deploy such technologies or systems at 5 airports. (d) Authority Under the testing and evaluation in subsection (c), the Administrator may use unmanned aircraft detection and mitigation systems to detect and mitigate the unauthorized operation of an unmanned aircraft that poses a risk to airspace safety. Utilization of such technologies or systems, and the communications sent using such technologies and systems to unmanned aircraft systems, shall be regarded as equivalent to separation instructions to pilots of manned aircraft. (e) AIP funding eligibility Upon the certification, permitting, authorizing, or allowing of such technologies and systems that have been successfully tested under this section, an airport sponsor may apply for a grant under
