It depends on the band and strength of your walkie-talkie. You don't need a license for CB, FRS, remote control vehicles that use 27 or 49 MHZ, or walkie-talkies for children.
However, you'd need a licence for GRS (similar to FRS, but stronger and has more channels), amateur radio, and model aircraft remote control units.

It would have to be an unusually powerful one. The FCC's jurisdiction over transmitters is above a certain amount of power, which walkie-talkies don't generally reach.
Now, if you were to connect that sucker up to a generator and start talking to people a thousand miles away, you might get some unwanted attention, but not with a standard 9 volt battery.

Short answer, NO. The frequency they use does not require FCC license.

No, due to the frequency and power they work on. You only need a license when you are outputting at a higher wattage.
