<span style="font-size: 13px;">As you know, we have been working with our legal counsel and the FAA to find a solution for our members on the registration rule. To date, FAA has agreed in principle to several proposed initiatives that will help ease this process for our members. Specifically, they are:</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial;">AMA and the FAA are working to streamline the registration process for AMA members whereby those who register with the FAA will be able to use their AMA number as the primary identification on their model aircraft, as opposed to adding a new federal registration number. <br> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">In addition, AMA members' federal registration will automatically renew provided membership remains active and current. We are working with FAA in negotiating the renewal fee, but in any case it is envisioned the renewal process will be provided as a member benefit. <br> </span></li><li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">In the future, federal registration will automatically be accomplished upon joining the AMA, eliminating the need to register with both AMA and the FAA. </span></li></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">These initiatives are a step in the right direction. However, we want to emphasize that this is not the end of our efforts to protect AMA members from this overreaching regulation. We are continuing to explore all legal and political options available, but these conversations may take time and a definitive solution is unlikely before the February 19 registration deadline. </span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Currently, registration is free of charge until January 19. If you would like to take advantage of this free period, you may want to register before that day. But please note that you have until February 19 to register in order to avoid violating the federal rule. </span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We also want to encourage our members to submit comments to the FAA about the registration rule. It is critical that all AMA members are heard loud and clear on this issue. The deadline for submitting comments is Friday, January 15. Additional instruction is available
<a href="http://cl.exct.net/?qs=07bc8a706f0c3bf08747ed0e8a87c50fa1d86b4c8043afa9f788c6e479500244" title="here">here</a>.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Thank you for your patience as we work to find the best path forward on registration. We are committed to doing everything possible to protect our hobby and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to fly.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Sincerely,</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 13px;">AMA</span></font></p><font face="Arial" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><font face="Arial">
