"At the request of federal security partners, the FAA published 22 Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) prohibiting drone flights over critical New Jersey infrastructure," the FAA said in a statement to The Washington Post.
"We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast," the statement said.
The FAA investigates all reported violations of temporary flight restrictions, according to its website. Those who are found in violation of the restrictions can face sanctions ranging from warnings or fines to certificate suspensions or revocations depending on the circumstances.
Federal authorities have previously said the drones, also referred to as unmanned aircraft systems, are not a public safety threat. However, officials and local residents have been unsettled by their presence.
