Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.28.12
On September 14, 2012, GAO released a report on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) underscoring increased government scrutiny of the pros and cons of domestic use of UAS by federal, state, and local agencies in the wake of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, which took the first steps towards integrating UAS into U.S. airspace. On October 10, Crowell & Moring will co-host a free webinar focusing on several of the central concerns that loom large for operators, manufacturers, regulators, and other interested parties seeking to introduce unmanned systems into the civilian market as this new regulatory environment emerges.

Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) are voluntary, environmental or public health projects that parties subject to environmental enforcement proceedings can propose as part of an administrative, civil, or criminal settlement. SEPs are unique and used specifically in environmental enforcement cases in part because (1) many environmental law statutes do not require a showing of harm to prove a violation; thus, redressing harm, outside of equitable relief, is not usually statutorily required; and (2) pollution is a public harm that is hard to redress, both individually and collectively.
