Partnership for Safety Plan (PSP) Reporting Requirements
Each participant in the PSP submits a draft final report to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within thirty
(30) calendar days prior to the termination date of the agreement. If the due date is on a weekend or holiday, the
report is due the next business day. The FAA reviews the draft final report within fifteen (15) calendar days of
receipt and provides comments. The participant must submit the final version of the report by the termination date
of the agreement.

Instructions for Writing the Final Report
The final report sets forth the participant’s findings and conclusions of the PSP. The participant should utilize the
following outline when writing the final report:
1. Executive Summary
2. Project Scope(s): Provide a brief description of each PSP project scope.
3. Accomplishments/Successes: Discuss specific achievements and successes made during the program.
4. Unexpected/Unintended Outcomes: Positive or negative, discuss any unexpected or unintended
outcomes from operations conducted during the program, including impact to the environment.
5. PSP Benefits: Discuss the benefits of the PSP that accrued to the American public, the participant, and
the FAA.
6. PSP Contributions to Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Integration: Provide specific examples of
contributions that may be used in the development of new regulations, standards and orders.
7. Community Engagement: Summarize the participant’s community engagement strategic plan and
initiatives, including:
a. Objectives and goals (e.g., educate the community on planned operations, gather input on
concerns and sensitivities, change perceptions);
b. Stakeholders (e.g., customers, general public in local communities, law enforcement);
c. Method and approach used to engage communities and address feedback (e.g., public meetings,
focus groups, social media or traditional media, educational materials, questionnaires); and

i. Anticipated quantitative economic benefits (e.g., reduced unit cost using UAS versus
traditional methods, reduced insurance costs, reduced health and safety costs)
ii. Anticipated qualitative economic benefits (e.g., improved competitiveness, expanded
business opportunities, job or Gross Domestic Product [GDP] growth)
b. Societal benefits
i. Anticipated quantitative societal benefits (e.g., reduced environmental impacts, access to
goods/services, emergency response time, reduced service time, reduced costs)
ii. Anticipated qualitative societal benefits (e.g., reduced congestion, improved public
safety)
iii. Identify whether UAS is enabling an entirely new economic activity that was not possible
before UAS.
c. Methods used for data collection and analysis (e.g., approach to compare unit cost of traditional
inspection vs. inspection by UAS)
d. Data to substantiate benefits (e.g., unit cost [fuel, labor, capital costs, etc.], population accessible
to delivery, improved service times, stakeholder feedback)
e. Economic projections that the participant has forecast as the project operations become scalable
