OMB Control Number: 2120-0535.

Title: Anti-Drug Program for Personnel Engaged in Specific 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 May 19, 2020 (FR 30000). The name of the Information Collection Request was changed from `Antidrug and Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program' to reflect the current regulation and program title (Drug and Alcohol Testing Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities). We also removed the word `Reinstatement' used in the 2018 submission, which was used because the 2014 renewal was not published.

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.

Respondents: Approximately 6,700 affected entities annually.

Frequency: On occasion.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. ( printed page 6410)

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 22,902 hours.

Nancy Rodriguez Brown,

Acting Deputy Director, Drug Abatement Division, Aviation Safety.
