SUMMARY: 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 is concerned about those airmen abusing or dependent on drugs
or alcohol in regard to the safety of the National Airspace System.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 24, 2020.

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

Title: Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or Drug-Related Motor Vehicle
Offenses 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 Sec. 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 letter via mail or facsimile,
with the following information: Name, address, date of birth, pilot
certificate number, the type of violation which resulted in the
conviction or administrative action, and the state which holds the
records or action.
Respondents: FAA airmen with drug and alcohol related motor vehicle
actions.
