A person that designs, produces, or modifies an unmanned aircraft for category 2 or category 3 operations over people must show that the unmanned aircraft complies with the requirements in § 107.120 or § 107.130 by following a FAA-accepted means of compliance (MOC). A person declares that an unmanned aircraft has been designed and produced to meet the applicable requirements of § 107.120 or § 107.130 by submitting a declaration of compliance (DOC) in accordance with the requirements in § 107.160 using the FAA's UAS Declaration of Compliance website ( <E T="03">uasdoc.faa.gov</E> ). On August 26, 2024, the FAA evaluated and accepted a DOC application submitted by Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions (AVSS) for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10). The assigned tracking number was OOP000000176. On April 2, 2025, AVSS voluntarily requested that the FAA rescind the DOC for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10). AVSS indicated that they are no longer supporting this unmanned aircraft configuration and that no production units were sold. <E T="03">Basis for Recission:</E> AVSS voluntarily requested the recission of the DOC for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10) because it is no longer supporting the system. This will not affect any production units because none were sold. Based on this information, the FAA determined that a recission is warranted. <E T="03">Recission:</E> For the reasons stated herein, the FAA rescinds the DOC tracking number OOP000000176 for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10) unmanned aircraft. <SIG> <DATED>Issued in Washington, DC, on September 16, 2025.</DATED> <NAME>Marcus Cunningham,</NAME> Manager, Emerging Technologies Division, AFS-700. </SIG> </SUPLINF> <FRDOC>[FR Doc. 2025-18099 Filed 9-17-25; 8:45 am]</FRDOC> </NOTICE>
