A few years ago Congress told the FAA to regulate drones, and clearly built registration fees into the system to pay for the regulatory cost for professionals. The FAA included a minimal fee for hobbyist registrations. A hobby pilot sued and won in DC Cir. because there wasn't statutory authority.

A couple months later Congress approved the next FAA reauthorization bill. It included a clause that gave the FAA authority to charge hobbyist drone pilots a minimal fee. NOAA did the same thing with ship-riders. If Congress had an issue, they could have told NOAA in the next authorization bill.
