Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) monitoring of U.S.-registered aircraft, focusing on whether: (1) FAA inspects U.S.-registered aircraft operated overseas by foreign air carriers, as an international agreement requires; (2) there is a FAA system to verify that 60 percent of the U.S.-registered aircraft's flight hours are conducted in the United States, as required; and (3) FAA has adjusted registration fees for all U.S.-registered aircraft in response to legislative requirements. GAO found that: (1) FAA has not inspected 32 percent of the 517 U.S.-registered aircraft operated outside of the United States; (2) FAA does not have the staff to inspect foreign-operated, U.S.-registered aircraft outside of the United States, but it plans to increase its overseas safety staff; (3) leasing arrangements have complicated FAA inspections, since FAA does not track foreign carriers' overseas operations or require a maintenance check when U.S.-registered aircraft transfer from foreign to U.S. operation; (4) FAA does not keep historical records on whether foreign carriers have FAA-approved maintenance programs; (5) FAA does not verify whether U.S.-based foreign corporations comply with the 60-percent in-country flight requirement, and does not have a basis to suspend or revoke an aircraft's registration or withdraw the carrier's authority to operate in the United States if it fails to comply; (6) FAA is attempting to recover registration processing costs by applying user fees; (7) FAA has not raised its registration fee since 1964 and does not require annual registration renewal; (8) FAA has the authority to raise its registration fee, but it cannot raise fees until it has issued regulations implementing the FAA Drug Enforcement Assistance Act; and (9) debates between FAA and drug enforcement agencies on aircraft registration renewals have delayed regulation implementation.
