govern the disposition of the part when
it is removed from the aircraft. If the
part is intended to be reinstalled,
however, a record of the life status of
the part will be needed at the time of
reinstallation to show that the part is
within its life limit and to create the
required record under
§§ 91.417(a)(2)(ii), 121.380(a)(2)(iii), or
135.439(a)(2)(ii), as applicable.
Therefore, when a life-limited part is
removed from an aircraft and that part
is intended to be reinstalled in an
aircraft, industry practice is to make a
record of the part’s current status at the
time of removal. Repair stations, air
carriers, and fixed base operators
(FBO’s) have systems in place to keep
accurate records of such parts to ensure
that they can reinstall the parts and
have the required records to show that
the part is airworthy. If the part is not
intended to be reinstalled, however,
under existing regulations and practice
there is no record required or routinely
made when a part is removed from an
aircraft. The part may be at the end of
its life limit and not eligible for
installation. Or, the part may not have
reached the end of its life limit, but is
so close that reinstallation would not be
practicable. In these cases industry
practices vary. For instance, the part
might be put in a bin and later sold as
scrap metal, it might be used as a
training aid, or it might be mutilated.
This renewal of the OMB control action
requires the continued information
collection.
Respondents: Industry associations,
air carriers, manufacturers, repair
stations, representatives of employees, a
foreign civil air authority, and
individuals estimated to 8,000.
Frequency: As identified in previous
rulemaking proposals for an annual
frequency of information collection
requirements is 100,000 procedures.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 30 minutes per procedure.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: As
identified in previous rule making
estimates for this information collection
the FAA refined its estimate of annual
burden, and has determined that there
is no more than a minimal paperwork
burden on any respondent for the record
keeping and reporting requirements of
30 minutes duration, at $54 per hour per
procedure.

on October 7, 2016 (81 FR 69908). On
February 25, 2020, the FAA published
the Pilot Professional Development final
rule. This action amends the
requirements primarily applicable to air
carriers conducting domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations to enhance the
professional development of pilots in
those operations. This action requires
air carriers conducting domestic, flag,
and supplemental operations to provide
new-hire pilots with an opportunity to
observe flight operations and become
familiar with procedures before serving
as a flightcrew member in operations; to
revise the upgrade curriculum; and to
provide leadership and command and
mentoring training for all pilots in
command. This final rule will mitigate
incidents of unprofessional pilot
behavior and reduce pilot errors that
can lead to a catastrophic event.
Summary: The final rule requires the
development and approval of new and
revised training curriculums for the
following:
• Leadership and command and
mentoring ground training for pilots
currently serving as PIC (§ 121.429) and
recurrent PIC leadership and command
and mentoring training (§§ 121.409(b)
and 121.427);
• Leadership and command training
and recurrent leadership and command
training for pilots serving as SIC in
operations that require three or more
pilots (§ 121.432(a));
• Upgrade training curriculum
requirements (§§ 121.420 and 121.426);
• Part 121 appendix H requirements;
and
• Approval of Qualification
Standards Document for certificate
holders using an Advanced
Qualification Program (AQP)
(§ 121.909).
The final rule also requires some
additional recordkeeping related to
maintaining records of pilots
completing the following:
• Leadership and command and
mentoring ground training for pilots
currently serving as PIC (§ 121.429);
• Leadership and command training
and recurrent leadership and command
training for pilots serving as SIC in
operations that require three or more
pilots (§ 121.432(a));
• Recurrent PIC leadership and
command and mentoring ground
training (§ 121.427); and
• Operations familiarization for newhire pilots (§ 121.435).
Use: This information will be used to
ensure safety-of-flight by making certain
that adequate training is obtained and
maintained by those who operate under
part 121. The FAA will review the
respondents’ training programs and

training courseware through routine
certification, inspection and
surveillance of certificate holders using
part 121 pilot training and qualification
programs to ensure compliance and
adherence to regulations and, where
necessary, to take enforcement action.
Respondents: As of February 2017,
there were 79 certificate holders who
use part 121 pilot training and
qualification programs. They
collectively employed 39,122 PICs and
42,227 SICs.
Frequency: Information is collected
on occasion. Responses will vary based
on type of operation.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Burden per Operator varies
per operation.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 206
hours.

Title: Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or

Subject to State Motor Vehicle
Administrative Procedure.
Form Numbers: No official form
numbers used.
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 March 4, 2020 (85 FR 12817). 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
Intoxicated (DWI) Investigations Branch.
The final rule for this program is found
in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)—Part 61 § 61.15.
This regulation calls for pilots
certificated by the FAA to send
information regarding Driving Under the
Influence (or similar charges) of alcohol
and/or drugs to the FAA within 60 days
from either an administrative action
against their driver’s license and/or
PO 00000

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: 589 FAA airmen with
drug and alcohol related motor vehicle
actions provide approximately 862
reports per year over the last three years.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 431
hours.
