SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: You are asked to comment on any aspect of

collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)

    Form Numbers: 8050-1, 8050-1B, 8050-2, 8050-4, 8050-88, 8050,88A, 
8050-98.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on December 14, 2016 (81 FR 90406). There were no 
comments. Public Law 103-272 states that all aircraft must be 
registered before they may be flown. It sets forth registration 
eligibility requirements and provides for application for registration 
as well as suspension and/or revocation of registration. The 
information collected is used by the FAA to register an aircraft or 
hold an aircraft in trust. The information requested is required to 
register and prove ownership.
    The information collected on an Aircraft Registration Renewal 
Application (AC Form 8050-1B) is used by the FAA to verify and update 
the aircraft registration information collected for an aircraft when it 
was first registered. The updated registration database will then be 
used by the FAA to monitor and control U.S. airspace and to distribute 
safety notices and airworthiness directives to aircraft owners.
    Respondents: Approximately 165,000 registrants and owners.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 120,000 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 29, 2017.
