Register drones by year-end: US task force proposal
Federal Aviation Administration relying on existing regulations to implement recommendations for registration
Washington
OWNERS of all but the smallest toy drones will have to register them with the US government before the end of the year if the Obama administration adopts proposals issued by a task force it appointed.
Registration - designed to make it easier for authorities to track down the growing numbers of illegal flights - should be free, easy to complete online and permit multiple devices on an owner's filing, the task force is proposing, according to three people familiar with its recommendations who weren't authorised to speak about it.
