CALL TO ACTION: Leave a comment for the FAA on Rainmaker Technologies (Cloud Seeding) Petition for Amendment to Exemption No. 25287
Rainmaker Technologies asks for ☣️ hazardous material carry exemption to the FAA. They are targeting one of the few hard limits that actually apply: 14 CFR §107.36, which bars small drones from carrying ☣️ hazardous materials.
After FAA Exemption 25287 allowed burn-in-place and ejectable flares that release ice-nucleating particles, the company petitioned (Docket FAA-2025-1630) to raise the cap from 2 to 6 flares per Elijah drone, tripling the classified HAZMAT payload for cloud-seeding experiments.
NOW IS YOUR TIME TO COMMENT on their petition. voice any issues you may have with cloud seeding operations being done in your state.

Bottom line: Rainmaker is using a narrow aviation loophole (carry classified pyrotechnic flares on a drone) inside a system where nobody at the federal level fully regulates the act of modifying the weather, they only track the flights and the paperwork.
Rainmaker CEO Augustus Doricko ran a drone cloud-seeding experiment over Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula home to the most precious salmon, cod and halibut fisheries, releasing silver iodide flares and claiming 19 million gallons of extra precipitation in three hours with no local public consent, advance notice to residents or officials, or dedicated state weather-modification laws or regulations in place.
