SEATTLE/WASHINGTON—Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Friday that the Federal Aviation Administration plans to propose rules to expand the use of drones for deliveries and other services.

“We’re in the stages of developing a rule to make sure we can give more authority and clarity to those who are developing these drones,” Duffy told reporters after a tour of Amazon Prime Air drone delivery service’s headquarters in Seattle, saying the agency plans to release a proposal “in relatively short order.”
