DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Anti-Drug 
Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities

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. 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. This notice corrects a reference within a notice for 
public comment that was published on Monday, May 20, 2013 (78 FR 
29427). That notice cited the regulation for drug and alcohol testing 
as 14 CFR Part 121, appendices I and J. Effective July 13, 2009, that 
regulation is now a part of 14 CFR Part 120.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 23, 2013.

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by 
email at: Kathy.A.DePaepe@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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, Drug and Alcohol 
Testing Program (14 CFR Part 120), 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.
    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.
