maintaining correspondence required to be sent to the FAA under the 
Code of Federal Regulations from pilots who have been involved in a 
drug or alcohol related motor vehicle action. The information to be

    Title: Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or Drug-Related Motor Vehicle 
Offenses Subject to State Motor Vehicle Administrative Procedure.
    Form Numbers: No official form is used.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on November 30, 2017 (82 FR 56852). 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 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 937 per year.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 Minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 15 minutes per respondent, 234 hours 
total for all respondents.
