Abstract: This collection is mandatory for any person wishing to register an aircraft. The information collected is used by the FAA to register aircraft or hold an aircraft in trust. The information is reported to the FAA on occasion to register, renew and prove ownership of an aircraft. On September 28, 2015, OMB approved continuation of collection 2120-0042 for 18 months through April 30, 2017, with instruction that all forms within the group must be PDF-fillable versions to which the public could apply electronic/digital signatures. At that time, only the AC Form 8050-1 was not available as a fillable PDF document. Though the other forms were available as PDFs, electronic/digital signatures were not acceptable for processing. In February/March 2016 the Civil Aviation Registry (Registry) Aircraft Registration Branch developed a fillable PDF version of the AC Form 8050-1, with deployment of the form on the FAA forms website taking place on or about May 1, 2016. Thus, all the forms associated with the subject collection were available to the public in fillable PDF format. Until that time, submittal of the AC Form 8050-1 and the AC Form 8050-2, on longstanding advice from General Counsel, had required application of actual ink signatures. In the spring of 2016, after consultation with General Counsel, the Registry revised their position. Federal Register notice published on April 20, 2016 stated that, effective May 1, 2016, the forms received or recorded by the Aircraft Registration Branch regarding aircraft ownership, registration or liens (forms included in the subject collection) were able to receive a digital/electronic signature and would be accepted by the Registry with the digital/electronic signature(s) applied (see details in supplemental documentation). Burden is updated based on FY17 actuals. The previous submission incorrectly included values for Aircraft Registration - Recordation of Conveyances, which are a part of collection 2120-0043. That burden is removed. ICs are separated to reflect the way FAA receives packets from customers. Typically, each IC would represent the contents of one form. However, to ensure that this submission accurately reflects the cost of each type of packet received by the program office these ICs represent the content of multiple forms.
