    Title: FAA Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry.

[[Page 7454]]

    Form Numbers: AC Form 8050-135.
    Type of Review: Renewal of information collection.
    Background: The information collected is necessary to obtain an 
authorization code for transmission of information to the International 
Registry. The Convention on International Interest in Mobile Equipment, 
as modified by the Protocol to the Convention on International 
Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment 
(Cape Town Treaty), provides for the creation and sustainment of the 
International Registry. The International Registry is an electronic 
registry system that works in tandem with the current system operated 
by the FAA Civil Aviation Registry (Registry) for the United States.
    Congress has designated the Registry as the exclusive United States 
Entry Point for transmissions to the International Registry. To 
transmit certain types of interests or prospective interests to the 
International Registry, interested parties must file a completed FAA 
Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry, AC Form 8050-135, with 
the Registry. Upon receipt of the completed form, the Registry issues a 
unique authorization code. The submission of the information in 
question is not an FAA requirement for aircraft registration. Its sole 
purpose is to create authorization for filing with the International 
Registry.
    Respondents: Anyone wanting to file an interest on the 
International Registry. The FAA estimates up to 15,000 filed annually.
    Frequency: As desired by parties with an interest in mobile 
equipment.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Based on FY2020 data of 14,360 
filings, the estimated annual burden is 7,180 hours.

    Issued in Oklahoma City, OK on January 25, 2021.

Program Analyst, FAA Civil Aviation Registry, Aircraft Registration 
Branch, AFB-711.
