If you contract with an employer that has a program registration without an expiration date, you may continue to use that contractor and its employees. When this happens, we would ask that you encourage the contractor to renew its program registration. If the program registration were expired, we would recommend that you not use that contractor until the registration is renewed.</span></p> <p>For assistance with the registration process, or if you have any further questions, please contact the FAA's Drug Abatement Division at (202) 267-8442 or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230321043829/mailto:drugabatement@faa.gov">drugabatement@faa.gov</a>.</p> <p>Please <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230321043829/http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/drug_alcohol/">visit our website</a> to learn more about our program.</p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card collapsible_content mb-3"> <div class="card-header" id="heading8"> <div class="mb-0"> <a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#views-bootstrap-faa-faqs-page-faqs-collapse-8" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="#views-bootstrap-faa-faqs-page-faqs-collapse-8" class="collapsed d-flex justify-content-between text-decoration-none"> <strong class="lead">Are local government bodies able to set and enforce their own drone regulations above and beyond the FAA?</strong> </a> </div> </div> <div id="views-bootstrap-faa-faqs-page-faqs-collapse-8" class="collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading" aria-expanded="false" style=""> <div class="card-block"> <div class="views-field views-field-field-answer"><div class="field-content"><p>Please refer to the state and local fact sheet available on the <a href="/web/20230321043829/https://www.faa.gov/uas/">FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) page</a>.
