SUMMARY: The FAA is updating certain procedural regulations relating to civil aircraft registration and recordation to provide administrative relief from the requirements for submitting original ( printed page 5573) documents and to sunset the FAA's practice of stamping documents. Amending these regulations will reduce administrative burdens and enable the FAA to better utilize the capabilities of the Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES) system for civil aircraft registration and recordation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Authority for This Rulemaking The FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.). Subtitle I, section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the FAA's authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), which establishes the authority of the Administrator to promulgate regulations and rules; and 49 U.S.C. 44701(a)(5), which requires the Administrator to promote safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations and setting minimum standards for other practices, methods, and procedures necessary for safety in air commerce and national security.

This rulemaking updates certain procedural regulations for aircraft registration and recordation in parts 47 and 49 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to provide the FAA with flexibility in accepting non-original documents and to sunset the FAA's practice of date stamping incoming documents.
