In August, the Federal Aviation Administration missed a key deadline for developing rules for small commercial drones.

Now the agency says that because of the delay, it will also miss its original September 2015 deadline for final rules.
"We all agree that the project is taking too long," Peggy Gilligan, a top FAA safety official, told a congressional House panel Wednesday.
