I think the key bit is:

A provision of the SOAR Act calls on the FAA to create the Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC), composed of members from the aviation industry, including aviation experts and representatives from the Department of Defense. The ARC would develop and make recommendations to assist the FAA in updating, improving, and introducing new regulations the FAA uses to track and identify high-altitude balloons.

The SOAR Act requires that, within two years, any high-altitude balloon traveling and positioned higher than 10,000 feet above sea level must have tracking technology that sends and emits data on the balloon’s altitude, identity, and location.

The legislation also directs the FAA to coordinate and work with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICASO) to “develop equivalent standards for high-altitude balloons launched elsewhere in the world.”

Can we get the content of the article here so I don't need to make an account for yet another news agency that will just spam me?
