Abstract:
Part 119 certificate holders with the authority to operate under part 121 and 135, air tour operators as defined in 14 CFR § 91.147, non-FAA or Military Air Traffic Control Facilities, contractors or repair stations under 14 CFR part 145 that conduct drug and alcohol testing programs are mandated to report information to this collection. The FAA uses this information for determining program compliance or non-compliance of regulated aviation employers, oversight planning, determining who must provide a mandatory annual Management Information System (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 crewmembers and other safety-sensitive employees who have tested positive for drugs or alcohol, or have refused to submit to testing. The collection includes reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure information. Using the information reported on the annual MIS allows the FAA Administrator to determine the random testing rates for the following year, which is published in the Federal Register.

Short Statement:
We continue to require all aviation companies to complete and submit a Management Information System (MIS) report to the FAA, which allows the Drug Abatement Division to base estimations on actual data provided by the industry. Any adjustments made under items 12, 13 and 14 were based on wage differences. The name of our Information Collection Request changed from Anti-Drug Program for Personnel Engaged in Specific Aviation Activities to Drug and Alcohol Testing Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities. The Drug Abatement Division removed the item ‘Post-Accident 2-Hr and 8-Hr Alcohol Limit No Test Documentation’ from the previously approved Supporting Statement under item #12. The FAA does not collect data to reflect when tests are not conducted. The Drug Abatement Division removed the item ‘Permanent Disqualification’ from the previously approved Supporting Statement under item #12. The FAA does not collect data to reflect when a safety-sensitive employee is permanently disqualified. The Drug Abatement Division made a change to the voluntary disclosures IC. Based on the time it takes the DER to identify the noncompliance, investigate the matter and collect the supporting evidence, establish and document the comprehensive fix, notify the Drug Abatement Division and provide any follow-up information, the Drug Abatement Division determined it would take the DER up to 40.0 hours, not the previous estimate of 9 hours.
