SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
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) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0042.
    Title: Aircraft Registration.
    Form Numbers: Existing AC Forms 8050-1, 8050-1B, 8050-2, 8050-4, 
8050-88, 8050-88A, 8050-98 and 8050-117. New AC Forms 8050-88UA and 
8050-138.
    Type of Review: Revision of an existing information collection.
    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 applications for registration 
as well as suspension and/or revocation of registrations. The 
information collected is used by the FAA to determine eligibility to 
register an aircraft and record a security interest in a registered 
aircraft.
    The Aircraft Registry has determined there is a need to create two 
new forms for this collection as follows: AC Form 8050-88UA, Affidavit 
of Ownership for Unmanned Aircraft (UA) and AC Form 8050-138, 
Declaration of International Operation (DIO).
    The AC Form 8050-88UA was created to make it easier for 
registration applicants to supply the FAA Aircraft Registry with the 
minimal information needed to register a UA. Most UA owners don't have 
the required evidence of ownership to register. The affidavit will be 
used in lieu of a recordable bill of sale for any new registrations. 
The registrant may still submit any other proof of ownership with the 
affidavit or declare that evidence of ownership is not available.
    The AC Form 8050-138 was created to allow registrants to request 
priority handling of their registration documents due to an impending 
international flight. The Aircraft Registry is required to process all 
incoming documents in the order of their receipt. Newly registered 
aircraft may only be flown within the continental United States by 
carrying a second copy of the Aircraft Registration Application in the 
aircraft unless the aircraft has never been on the U.S. Registry. There 
are instances where applicants need to fly aircraft outside the 
continental United States. Many of those applicants are major Air 
Carriers and small businesses. When an applicant files a DIO, the 
applicants' registration documents will be worked on a priority basis, 
alleviating any undue hardship. The form will collect the pertinent 
information of the scheduled international flight.
    Respondents: Approximately 5,000 international flights and 2,000 
new UA applicants annually.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes for each new 
form.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,750 hours.
