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. Information is collected to determine program compliance or 
non-compliance of regulated aviation employers, oversight planning, to 
determine who must provide annual Management Information System testing 
information, and to communicate with entities subject to the program 
regulations.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 19, 2013.

    OMB Control Number: 2120-0535.
    Title: Anti-Drug Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified 
Aviation Activities.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection of information.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The FAA mandates specified aviation entities to conduct 
drug and alcohol testing under its regulations, Antidrug and Alcohol 
Misuse Prevention Programs for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation 
Activities (14 CFR Part 121, appendices I and J), 49 U.S.C. 31306 
(Alcohol and controlled substances testing), and the Omnibus 
Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 (the Act). The FAA uses 
information collected for determining program compliance or non-
compliance of regulated aviation employers, oversight planning, 
determining who must provide annual MIS testing information, and 
communicating with entities subject to the program regulations. In 
addition, the information is used to ensure that appropriate action is 
taken in regard to crew members and other safety-sensitive employees 
who have tested positive for drugs or alcohol, or have refused to 
submit to testing.
    Respondents: Approximately 7,000 affected entities annually.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 22,902 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy 
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S. 
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
    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.
