§45306 Manual Surcharge

Summary

The FAA Administrator must start charging a surcharge on certain in-person Civil Aviation Registry transactions no later than 3 years after the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 was enacted. It applies only to transactions done in person at the Registry that the Administrator decides could be handled as well or better by electronic or other remote means, and that are not for research or other non-commercial activities. The surcharge may not be more than twice the maximum fee the Administrator is allowed to charge for registering an aircraft not used to provide air transportation after a transfer of ownership under section 45302(b)(2). Money collected from this surcharge is treated as funds collected under section 45302 and must follow the rules in section 45302(d).
