{"abstract":"This rule amends the regulations pertaining to payment of fees to the FAA for certification services performed outside the United States. Until now, fees could be paid by check, money order, wire transfer, or draft, payable in U.S. currency and drawn on a U.S. bank. Currently, fees for certain aircraft flights transiting U.S.-controlled airspace can be paid by credit card. The rule amends the regulations also to allow payment by credit card for certification services performed outside the U.S. This change is necessary to make payment for certification services consistent with payment for other services. It will also expedite payments and support the U.S. Department of the Treasury electronic commerce program. Also, this rule amends the regulations where it is unclear that fees for airmen certification services apply to all applicants located outside the United States, regardless of citizenship. This action is necessary to provide consistency within FAA regulations.","action":"Direct final rule; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2007/04/12/E7-6884.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":61,"title":14},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":63,"title":14},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":65,"title":14},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":187,"title":14}],"citation":"72 FR 18556","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective June 11, 2007.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No.: FAA-2007-27043","Amendment Nos. 61-116, 63-35, 65-49, 187-4"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E7-6884","effective_on":"2007-06-11","end_page":18559,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2007/04/12/E7-6884.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/04/12/E7-6884/fees-for-certification-services-and-approvals-performed-outside-the-united-states","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E7-6884?publication_date=2007-04-12","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2007-04-12/E7-6884/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":142,"last_updated":"2026-06-24 22:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-04-12/pdf/E7-6884.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2007-04-12","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2007/04/12/E7-6884.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AI77":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AI77"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T21:32:16Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":18556,"subtype":null,"title":"Fees for Certification Services and Approvals Performed Outside the United States","toc_doc":"Certification services and approvals performed outside U.S.; fees","toc_subject":"Administrative regulations:","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Air traffic controllers","Air transportation","Aircraft","Airmen","Airports","Alcohol abuse","Aviation safety","Drug abuse","Navigation (air)","Recreation and recreation areas","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Security measures","Teachers"],"type":"Rule","volume":72}
