Hi Dan,
It was ruled invalid by the DC Court of Appeals on May 19th of this year after challenged by a private citizen. It was under constant criticism by the members of the model airplane community since established. My understanding is the FAA is slowly working its way through the proper legislative process. Expect mandatory registration to become law sometime (probably) next year. I also expect that sometime in the not too distant future, that there may also be some type of licensing component for devices above .55 lbs.
I have attached the pertinent case.
