The page content is short enough to include here:
"The FAA is seeking public input on four requests to conduct beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone operations at or below 400 feet. If granted, Phoenix Air Unmanned, uAvionix, Zipline, and UPS Flight Forward will continue to expand the envelope of FAA-approved BVLOS drone operations. Data collected from these operations will inform the FAA’s ongoing policy and rulemaking activities."
Zipline: autonomous delivery
UPS Flight Forward: drone delivery
uAvionix: looks like BVLOS tech?
Phoenix Air Unmanned: "aerial data acquisition services"
Around 400' (120m) is the general legal altitude limit for consumer drone use in many countries.
