You say that BFRs will be in category 4, but the latest docs from the TSA exclude BFRs, rental checkouts and general currency/proficiency flying from "Flight Training" - so it appears that ALL FAA license holders (including aliens) do not have to register unless they are specifically going to have flight training for a new rating, when they definitely will have to go through the procedures.
That's what AOPA say too.

Flying Tooth Driller,
They were going to put BFRs in Category 3:
But before it was implemented, BFRs were moved to Category 4:
Category 4 is the catch all for non U.S. Citizens wanting to fly in the U.S.
Take Care,
Richard
They were going to put BFRs in Category 3:
Candidates who request training for aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or less.
Candidates who are current and qualified on the aircraft for which they are requesting training.
Take Care,
Richard

Having read the thread a few times, I cant see any remarks on the case of a person holding a restricted FAA PPL (on the back of an ICAO lic) doing review flying and converting to an FAA only PPL.
Also for the case of a person holding an ICAO IR getting a FAA IR.
In both cases, the person is current and licensed, and is not gaining any new skills. Cant figure if this case falls into Cat 3 or Cat 4 of TSA stuff. Cat 4 would make the most sense !
