AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Consistent with Agency practice, this notice is issued to 
advise interested parties of the addition of the States of Idaho and 
Utah to the list of those thirty-three states from which the Aircraft 
Registration Branch (FAA Aircraft Registry), Mike Monroney Aeronautical 
Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will accept artisan liens for 
recordation. Since December 17, 1981, the Aeronautical Center Counsel 
has issued these notices in the Federal Register.

DATE: This notice is effective October 13, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph R. Standell, Aeronautical 
Center Counsel, Aeronautical Center (AMC-7), Federal Aviation 
Administration, 6500 S. MacArthur, Oklahoma City, OK 73169. Telephone 
(405) 954-3296.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 46 FR 61528, December 17, 1981, the 
Federal Aviation Administration published its legal opinion on the 
recordability of artisan liens, with the identification of those states 
from which artisan liens would be accepted. Subsequently, we advised 
that Florida, Nevada, and New Jersey had passed legislation that, in 
our opinion, allows the FAA Aircraft Registry to accept artisan liens 
from those states (49 FR 17112, April 23, 1984).
    The Agency continued this practice when we adivsed that the 
following states had passed legislation that either required or allowed 
recording of notice of lien thereby allowing the FAA Aircraft Registry 
to accept and record artisan liens claimed under those states' law:

Minnesota and New Mexico (51 FR 21046, June 10, 2986)
Missouri (53 FR 23716, June 23, 1988)
Texas, (54 FR 38584, September 19, 1989)
North Dakota, (54 FR 51965, October 17, 1989)
Michigan and Tennessee, (55 FR 31938, August 6, 1990)
Arizona, (56 FR 27989, June 18, 1991)
Iowa, (56 FR 36189-36190, July 31, 1991)
California (General Aviation only), Connecticut, Ohio, and Virginia (58 
FR 50387, September 27, 1993)
Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island (67 FR 68902, November 13, 
2002)

    This notice is to advise interested parties that the states of 
Idaho and Utah are now identified as additional states from which 
artisan liens will be accepted.
    With the addition of Idaho and Utah, the complete list of thirty-
five states from which artisan liens on aircraft will be accepted as of 
this date is: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California (General Aviation 
Only), Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, 
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, 
Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio,
