The $5 is the current initiation fee. According to the AOPA the authorization bill currently working its' way through congress allows the FAA to charge as much as $130 for initial registration and $45 for renewals. We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds.

I sense a money maker here

George, the re-registration fee is $5. Clearly there are not enough
lawyers in the FAA's administration.
