Management and Budget (OMB) approval to extend an information 
collection. Pilots who have been involved in a drug or alcohol related

FAA . The information to be collected will be used to and/or is 
necessary for the FAA to ensure the safety of the National Airspace 
System with regard to those airmen.

    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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or Drug Related Motor Vehicle 
Offenses or Subject to State Motor Vehicle Administrative Procedures.
    Form Numbers: No forms.
    Type of Review: Extension Without Change.
    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 Impaired (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

[[Page 56853]]

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: Airmen with drug/alcohol related motor vehicle 
actions.
    Frequency: Approximately 1,000 per year.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 Minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10-20 minutes per respondent, 167 
hours total for all respondents.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX on November 21, 2017.
