    Title: Anti-Drug Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified 
Aviation Activities.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 9, 2016 (81 FR 62551). There were no 
comments. Design approval holders use flammability analysis 
documentation to demonstrate to their FAA Oversight Office that they 
are compliant with the Fuel Tank Flammability Safety rule (73 FR 
42443). Semi-annual reports submitted by design approval holders 
provide listings of component failures discovered during scheduled or 
unscheduled maintenance so that the reliability of the flammability 
reduction means can be verified by the FAA.
    Respondents: Approximately 5 design approval holders.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 100 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4000 hours.
