As part of its review of non-citizen trusts, the FAA published a notice of its proposed policy clarification on February 9, 2012 (77 FR 6694) on use of non-citizen trusts to register aircraft in the United States. After the FAA discusses the legal issues, the FAA will suggest which provisions in trust agreements may need to be changed and it will suggest language that would enable the FAA to facilitate the registration of aircraft in the future that are owned in trust. The suggested language and the reasons for the suggested language, if adopted as the FAA's final policy on this matter, will guide the FAA in the future in determining eligibility for registering non-U.S. citizen trusts.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106g, 40113, 44701.
Issued in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on June 13, 2012.
