The Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") recently announced that a task force has been created for the purpose of developing recommendations for the registration of unmanned aerial vehicles ("UAV"). The announcement was made by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. Commercial drones are currently required to be registered. The task force will be involved in developing rules for registration for non-commercial drones.

The task force will be made up of representatives from both the unmanned and manned aviation industries, as well the federal government. The task force has been directed to provide a report by November 20, 2015.  Specifically, the task force will provide guidance to the Department of Transportation on the types of aircraft that should be exempt from the requirement of registration based on low risk, such as toy aircraft.
