The United Kingdom is the administering State for an aeroplane operator where—
a
the aeroplane operator has an ICAO Designator which identifies the United Kingdom as the Notifying State, as listed in the ICAO document entitled ICAO Designators for Aircraft Operating Agencies, Aeronautical Authorities and Services ,
b
without an ICAO Designator, the aeroplane operator has a valid AOC, or equivalent, or
c
without an ICAO Designator or AOC, the aeroplane operator has its registered office in the United Kingdom or, where the aeroplane operator is a natural person, is resident in the United Kingdom.
2
An aeroplane operator with international flights attributed to it and which has the United Kingdom as its administering State must notify the Regulator of that fact.

The Secretary of State, with the assistance of the Regulator, must ensure the correct attribution of an aeroplane operator to the United Kingdom according to the approach in paragraph (1).

A Regulator must, by 30th October in each scheme year, provide the Secretary of State with a list of aeroplane operators for which it is the Regulator.

The Secretary of State must submit to ICAO in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1 a list of aeroplane operators which are attributed to the United Kingdom containing the required information as described in Schedule 5, Table 3 and the Secretary of State may submit updates to this list to ICAO on a more frequent basis.
