According to an Amendment to FAR Part 43, effective November 3, 2006, maintenance providers will be required to send FAA Form 337, Major Repair and Alteration, to the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma within 48 hours of returning an aircraft, airframe etc. to service after completing a major repair or alteration, rather than submitting them to the local Flight Standards District Office which is the current requirement. “The purpose of this change is to centralize the processing of the Form 337 documents and facilitate FAA acceptance of electronic submissions of Form 337 documents in the future.”
