From the piece:
************************
The FAA is releasing a rule next week that will extend the duration of aircraft registration certificates from three years to seven years. According to the draft of the direct final rule, aircraft owners will be required to confirm their registration information and renew their certificates every seven years unless an event or circumstance requires a new registration before that time. If the agency determines that the registration information is inaccurate, an owner may be required to submit new registration forms.
....
The agency in 2010 mandated that aircraft owners re-register their aircraft every three years. Before then, the registration period was indefinite, but with the stipulation that owners keep their registrations up-to-date. However, the agency found that owners failed to do so, creating numerous outdated registrations and raising concerns of law enforcement and other government agencies.
