SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0697.
    Title: FAA Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry.
    Form Numbers: AC Form 8050-135.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: This information collection supports Department of 
Transportation strategic goals regarding safety and security. The 
information collected is necessary to obtain an authorization code for 
transmission of information to the International Registry. The 
Convention on International Interest in Mobile Equipment, as modified 
by the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile 
Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment (herein after the 
Cape Town Treaty or Treaty), provides for the creation and sustainment 
of the International Registry. The International Registry is an 
electronic registry system that works in tandem with the current system 
operated by the FAA Civil Aviation Registry (Registry) for the United 
States. Congress has designated the Registry as the exclusive United 
States Entry Point for transmissions to the International Registry. To 
transmit certain types of interests or prospective interests to the 
International Registry, interested parties must file a completed FAA 
Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry, AC Form 8050-135, with 
the Registry. Upon receipt of the completed form, the Registry, upon 
verifying the accuracy of the submitted data, issues the unique 
authorization code.
    Respondents: Aircraft owners desiring authorization for filing with 
the International Registry. The submission of the information in 
question is not an FAA requirement for aircraft registration. Its sole 
purpose is to create authorization for filing with the International 
Registry.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion, as desired by the 
aircraft owner.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Based on FY '17 approximately 15,000 
filings, the estimated annual burden is 7,500 hours.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on May 24, 2018.

Acting Manager, IT Strategy and Investment Portfolio Branch, ASP-120.
