§45306 Manual Surcharge

Summary

Within 3 years after the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 was enacted, the Administrator must start charging an extra fee on Civil Aviation Registry transactions done in person when the Administrator decides the same task could be done as well or better by electronic or other remote means, and the transaction is not for research or other noncommercial activity. The extra fee cannot be more than twice the highest fee the Administrator may charge for registering an aircraft not used to provide air transportation after a transfer of ownership under section 45302(b)(2). Money from the surcharge is handled the same way as funds under section 45302 and must follow the rules in section 45302(d).
