No special license is needed in 48 states PROVIDED that launch in accordance
with the NAR safety code. I think that two remaining states are California
and either Massachusetts or New Jersey.

Until the FAA approves the NAR requested change of FAR 101 regulation, a 
FAA waiver is required for each launch of rocket with total impulse of "G"
or ANY rocket with a liftoff weight greater 1 pound!
