Apparently a pilot program is set to be announced in 10 locations to explore options for sharing airspace regulation for commercial UAVs - FAA would maintain control over operations above 200', while individual state, municipal, tribal governments, etc would regulate below 200'. This would be an extraordinarily bad idea:

Appears to go hand in hand with the proposed Drone Federalism Act of 2017:

Hopefully the court case just settled in Massachusetts (I believe that is where it was) will show the folly of 'sharing' air space.
