Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval [to renew an] information collection. The collection involves receiving and maintaining correspondence required to be sent to the FAA from pilots who have been involved in a drug- or alcohol-related motor vehicle action. The information to be collected will be used to and/or is necessary because the FAA must identify airmen with multiple drug- or alcohol-related motor vehicle actions, and verify traffic conviction information in order to support the FAA's Aviation Safety, Office of Aerospace Medicine, Aerospace Medical Certification Division, for their requirements to evaluate the qualifications of that airman to hold a medical certificate.

involved in a drug- or alcohol-related motor vehicle action. The
information to be collected will be used to and/or is necessary because
the FAA must identify airmen with multiple drug- or alcohol-related
motor vehicle actions, and verify traffic conviction information in
order to support the FAA's Aviation Safety, Office of Aerospace
Medicine, Aerospace Medical Certification Division, for their
requirements to evaluate the qualifications of that airman to hold a
medical certificate.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 7, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0543.
Title: Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or Drug-Related Motor Vehicle
Offenses or Subject to State Motor Vehicle Administrative Procedure.
Form Numbers: No official form numbers used.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: After a study and audit conducted from the late 1970's
through the 1980's by the Department of Transportation, Office of the
Inspector General, (DOT/OIG), the DOT/OIG recommended the FAA find a
way to track alcohol abusers and those dependent on the substance that
may pose a threat to the National Airspace (NAS). Through a
Congressional act issued in November of 1990, the FAA established a
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
Investigations Branch. The final rule for this program is found in
title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)--part 61 61.15.
This regulation calls for pilots certificated by the FAA to send
information regarding Driving Under the Influence (or similar charges)
of alcohol and/or drugs to the FAA within 60 days from either an
administrative action against their driver's license and/or criminal
conviction. Part of the regulation also calls for the FAA to seek
certificate action should an airman be involved in multiple, separate
drug/alcohol related motor vehicle incidents within a three-year
period. Information sent by the airmen is used to confirm or refute any
violations of these regulations, as well as by the Civil Aerospace
Medical Institute (CAMI) for medical qualification purposes. Collection
by CAMI is covered under a separate OMB control number 2120-0034.
An airman is required to provide a written report, with the
following information: name, address, date of birth, airman certificate
number, the type of violation which resulted in the conviction or
administrative action, the state which holds the records or action, and
a statement of whether the motor vehicle action resulted from the same
incident or arose out of the same factual circumstances related to a
previously reported motor vehicle action.
Respondents: 480 FAA airmen with drug and alcohol related motor
vehicle actions provide approximately 599 reports per year over the
last three years.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 30 minutes per report and 299.5
hours for all reports annually.
Issued in Oklahoma City, OK, on June 2, 2023.
