You once again have to register your drone--yes, even the little ones

That means that people once again must register their drones (or any other remote-controlled flying device that meets the criteria) at the FAA's site for small Unmanned Aircraft System registration service. The registration still costs $5, and you still have to put put that registration number on the drone when you're flying it. The FAA suggests writing it on in permanent marker, using a label, or even etching it into the drone. The potential penalties for failing to register are potentially steep-- civil penalties up to $27,500 and criminal penalties up to $250,000 or three years in jail. Of course, those are assuming severe incidents result from unregistered drone flight, but the site does say pilots need to keep the registration certificate handy during operation or could possibly face punishment.
