Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments; 
Substantive Change to Multiple Previously Approved Collections: 
Aircraft Registration, Recording of Aircraft Conveyances and Security 
Documents, FAA Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry, and 
Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate Application

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a substantive change to 
multiple previously approved information collections. The FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2018, Section 546, requires the implementation 
of systems allowing a member of the public to submit any information or 
form to the Registry and conduct any transaction with the Registry by 
electronic or other remote means. In response to this requirement, the 
FAA created Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES) and 
intends to change its current information collection to accommodate 
electronic registry applications.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 28, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:

    Background: 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 and 
record a security interest in a registered aircraft.
    The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-254 or The Act), 
Section 546, ``FAA Civil Aviation Registry Upgrade'', requires:
    1. The digitization of non-digital Registry information, including 
paper documents, microfilm images, and photographs, from an analog or 
non-digital format to a digital format;
    2. The digitalization of Registry manual and paper-based processes,

[[Page 4326]]

business operations, and functions by leveraging digital technologies 
and a broader use of digitized data;
    3. The implementation of systems allowing a member of the public to 
submit any information or form to the Registry and conduct any 
transaction with the Registry by electronic or other remote means; and
    4. Allowing more efficient, broader, and remote access to the 
Registry.
    In response to The Act, the FAA has initiated the creation of Civil 
Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES). CARES is intended to 
modernize and streamline the way these forms are submitted by providing 
online access to users wishing to submit information electronically. 
Public users will continue to have the paper-based submission option by 
providing the same information that is accepted today, along with the 
addition of an email address.
    To accommodate the public user with these web-based services, a 
dedicated online user account must first be established. CARES will 
leverage an existing FAA Single Sign-On (SSO) capability known as 
MyAccess. MyAccess will be used to generate online public user 
accounts, and also serve as part of the user account sign-on and 
authentication process after a user account has been created.
    As an alternative to the web-based services, public users will 
still be permitted to send in paper forms directly to the Registry 
office via conventional mail services. These paper forms will be 
revised to collect the email address of the public user to help 
streamline processing of the public users' request. The modified paper 
forms will supersede all prior forms.

2120-0043 and 2120-0697; annually to maintain a certificate for 2120-
0024.
