Class E airspace at and above 3,000 feet MSL over the Gulf of Mexico from the coastline of the United States out to 12 nautical miles.
Around those airports identified in 14 CFR part 91, Appendix D.
UAT 980 below 10,000 feet as well.
It is not part of the story, but some of the reasoning why it is not mandated below 3000 feet. For relevance, in AUS, I dont note any altitude or other caveats to the ADSB rule, is there?
I take your point that there is airspace <3000' where no ADS-B is required however all I'm pointing out is that it IS mandated below 3000' if you're operating WI 30NM of Class B airspace for VFR and IFR. The below info was taken from the FAA website this morning:
"Airspace within 30 nautical miles (nm) at certain busy airports from the surface up to 10,000 feet MSL; airports listed in appendix D to part 91." (

And mikewil, I'm talking about equipage rather than clearances.
