ASC is fighting to get the PPG/UPG Exemption back.  

These are only true 103 ultralights that can harness or strap a student to the pilot.

In specific, the FAA preamble to Sport Pilot stated:

 "III.5.B. Future Rulemaking on Ultralight Vehicles
The NPRM did not address, nor does the final rule address, the use of hangliders, paragliders and powered paragliders in tandem operations and training. There is a need to address these issues, but the FAA did not examine questions in this area for this rule. Rather than delay this rule to include these issues, the FAA intends to initiate a separate rulemaking action. Until that can be completed, the FAA intends to maintain the status quo for these operations by continuing or reissuing training exemptions as necessary."
