This is really great! Just out of curiosity though, what is the rationale behind granting remoteID exceptions without actually calling it a FRIA? Same effect, great job AMA, just wondering what the FAA is thinking here!

I think it pretty much came down to this. A FRIA is a blanket exemption to fly in a geographical area without RID. Anyone.
Near airports, which is where this is an issue, I think the FAA wanted more limited access to ensure that people flying without remote ID were club and AMA (or other cbo) members and that said members would be more likely to operate in a safer manner than an open invite situation. So an exemption letter versus a FRIA applies to club members and their guests.
