49 U.S.C. § 45306 — Manual surcharge
submitted 8 years ago by Pub. L. 115-254 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 161 words · no verdicts yet
The FAA had to start charging an extra surcharge for in-person Civil Aviation Registry transactions that could just as easily be done electronically and aren't for research purposes. That surcharge cannot be more than double the maximum fee for registering a non-commercial aircraft after a sale. The surcharge money is handled the same way as the related aircraft-registration fees.
(a) In general. Within 3 years of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act, the Administrator had to start imposing a surcharge on a Civil Aviation Registry transaction that is done in person (1), that the Administrator decides could be done just as well, or better, electronically or remotely (2), and that is not for research or other non-commercial purposes (3).
(b) Maximum surcharge. It cannot exceed twice the maximum fee the Administrator can charge to register a non-commercial aircraft after a sale, under section 45302(b)(2).
(c) Where the money goes. Surcharge money is treated the same as money collected under section 45302, following that section's rules on crediting and availability.
Not later 3 years after the date of enactment of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, the Administrator shall impose and collect a surcharge on a Civil Aviation Registry transaction that—
is conducted in person at the Civil Aviation Registry;
could be conducted, as determined by the Administrator, with the same or greater level of efficiency by electronic or other remote means; and
is not related to research or other non-commercial activities.
A surcharge imposed and collected under subsection (a) shall not exceed twice the maximum fee the Administrator is authorized to charge for the registration of an aircraft, not used to provide air transportation, after the transfer of ownership under section 45302(b)(2).
Monies collected from a surcharge imposed under subsection (a) shall be treated as monies collected under section 45302 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in section 45302(d).
