Notice that they say FAA rule, not federal law. Anyone with a brain should ignore this unconstitutional act.
But Congress gave the FAA the authority to create rules with the weight of law. Totally unconstitutional since the Constitution gives the power to make laws exclusively to Congress and does not allow them to delegate it to government agencies under the executive branch. But they have been getting away with it for many decades.
An FAA “rule” is called FAR (Federal Aviation Regulation). It is Federal Law
All FARs and SFARs (Special Federal Aviation Regulations) are Federal Law under Title 14 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

Q. What is the definition of a UAS? Is it different from a drone?
A. A UAS is an unmanned aircraft system. A drone and a UAS are the same for registration purposes.
Q: Does the FAA have the authority to require registration of UAS used by modelers and hobbyists?
A: Yes. By statute all aircraft are required to register. Congress has defined “aircraft” to include UAS, regardless of whether they are operated by modelers and hobbyists.
Q. Why do I need to register?
A. Federal law requires aircraft registration. Registration helps us ensure safety - for you, others on the ground, and manned aircraft. UAS pose new security and privacy challenges and must be traceable in the event of an incident. It will also help enable the return of your UAS should it be lost.
