Clearance of [a Renewed] Approval of Information Collection: Pilots 
Convicted of Alcohol or Drug-Related Motor Vehicle Offenses Subject to 
State Motor Vehicle Administrative Procedure

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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 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.
