They said "Just register, it's just for information purposes..."
Yeah uh huh, the death of the industry is at hand....
It's all in the name of safety. They will inch away our freedoms in the name of safety until we dont have any left, and we still wont be safe.

20 SEC. 2124. SAFETY STANDARDS.
21 (a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 448, as amended by sec-21 tion 2122 of this Act, is further amended by inserting 22 after section 44802 the following:
‘‘SEC. 44803. AIRCRAFT SAFETY STANDARDS. 1 ‘‘(a) CONSENSUS AIRCRAFT SAFETY STANDARDS.— 2 Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of the 3 Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 4 2016, the Director of the National Institute of Standards 5 and Technology and the Administrator of the Federal 6 Aviation Administration, in consultation with government 7 and industry stakeholders and appropriate standards-set-8 ting organizations, shall initiate a collaborative process to 9 develop risk-based, consensus industry airworthiness 10 standards related to the safe integration of small un-11 manned aircraft systems into the national airspace sys-12 tem. 13 ‘‘(b) CONSIDERATIONS.—In developing the consensus 14 aircraft safety standards, the Director and Administrator 15 shall consider the following: 16 ‘‘(1) Technologies or standards related to geo-17 graphic limitations, altitude limitations, and sense 18 and avoid capabilities. 19 ‘‘(2) Using performance-based standards. 20 ‘‘(3) Predetermined action to maintain safety in 21 the event that a communications link between a 22 small unmanned aircraft and its operator is lost or 23 compromised.
‘‘(4) Detectability and identifiability to pilots, 1 the Federal Aviation Administration, and air traffic 2 controllers, as appropriate. 3 ‘‘(5) Means to prevent tampering with or modi-4 fication of any system, limitation, or other safety 5 mechanism or standard under this section or any 6 other provision of law, including a means to identify 7 any tampering or modification that has been made. 8 ‘‘(6) Remote identification capability standards 9 under section 2105. 10 ‘‘(7) How to update or modify a small un-11 manned aircraft system that was commercially dis-12 tributed prior to the development of the standards 13 so that, to the greatest extent practicable, such sys-14 tems meet the standards. 15 ‘‘(
Any technology or standard related to 16 small unmanned aircraft systems that promotes 17 aviation safety. 18 ‘‘(c) CONSULTATION.—In developing the consensus 19 industry standards under subsection (a), the Director and 20 Administrator shall consult with— 21 ‘‘(1) the Administrator of the National Aero-22 nautics and Space Administration; 23 ‘‘(2) the President of RTCA, Inc.; 24 ‘‘(3) the Secretary of Defense;
‘‘(4) each operator of a test site under section 1 44802; 2 ‘‘(5) the Center of Excellence for Unmanned 3 Aircraft Systems; 4 ‘‘(6) unmanned aircraft systems stakeholders; 5 and 6 ‘‘(7) community-based aviation organizations. 7 ‘‘(d) FAA APPROVAL.—Not later than 1 year after 8 the date of enactment of the Federal Aviation Administra-9 tion Reauthorization Act of 2016, the Administrator of the 10 Federal Aviation Administration shall establish a process 11 for the approval of small unmanned aircraft systems make 12 and models based upon safety standards developed under 13 subsection (a). The consensus safety standards developed 14 under subsection (a) shall allow the Administrator to ap-15 prove small unmanned aircraft systems for operation with-16 in the national airspace system without requiring the type 17 certification process in parts 21 and 23 of the Code of 18 Federal Regulations. 19 ‘‘(e) ELIGIBILITY.—The standards for approval of 20 small unmanned aircraft systems developed under this sec-21 tion shall set eligibility requirements for an airworthiness 22 approval of a small unmanned aircraft system which shall 23 include the following:
‘‘(1) An applicant must provide the FAA 1 with— 2 ‘‘(A) the aircraft’s operating instructions; 3 and 4 ‘‘(B) the manufacturer’s statement of com-5 pliance as described in paragraph (e) of this 6 section. 7 ‘‘(2) A sample aircraft must be inspected by the 8 Federal Aviation Administration and found to be in 9 a condition for safe operation and in compliance 10 with the standards required by the Administrator in 11 subsection (d). 12 ‘‘(f) MANUFACTURER’S STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 13 FOR SMALL UAS.—The manufacturer’s statement of com-14 pliance required in subsection (e)(1)(B) shall— 15 ‘‘(1) identify the aircraft make and model, and 16 consensus standard used; 17 ‘‘(2) state that the aircraft make and model 18 meets the provisions of the identified consensus 19 standard; 20 ‘‘(3) state that the aircraft make and model 21 conforms to the manufacturer’s design data, using 22 the manufacturer’s quality assurance system that 23 meets the identified consensus standard adopted by 24 the Administrator in subsection (d), and is manufac-
tured in way that ensures consistency in the produc-1 tion process so that every unit produced meets the 2 applicable standards; 3 ‘‘(4) state that the manufacturer will make 4 available to any interested person— 5 ‘‘(A) the aircraft’s operating instructions, 6 that meet the identified consensus standard; 7 and 8 ‘‘(B) the aircraft’s maintenance and in-9 spection procedures, that meet the identified 10 consensus standard; 11 ‘‘(5) state that the manufacturer will monitor 12 and correct safety-of-flight issues through a contin-13 ued airworthiness system that meets the identified 14 consensus standard; 15 ‘‘(6) state that at the request of the Adminis-16 tration, the manufacturer will provide access by the 17 Administration to its facilities; and 18 ‘‘(7) state that the manufacturer, in accordance 19 with a production acceptance test procedure that 20 meets an applicable consensus standard has— 21 ‘‘(A) ground and flight tested random sam-22 ples of the aircraft; 23 ‘‘(B) found the sample aircraft perform-24 ance acceptable; and 25
‘‘(C) determined that the make and model 1 of aircraft is suitable for safe operation. 2 ‘‘(g) PROHIBITION.—It shall be unlawful for any person to introduce or deliver for introduction into interstate 4 commerce any unmanned aircraft manufactured on or 5 after the date that the Administrator adopts a relevant 6 consensus standard under this section, unless the manufacturer has received approval under subsection (d) for 8 each make and model.’’
Here is a breakdown of it...read it, basically every UAS sold will HAVE TO BE ARF PERIOD! They are DAMN morons, its the arf stuff that is the issue, not the SKILL stuff that people actually build...
