SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA’s performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB’s clearance of this information collection. OMB Control Number: 2120–0543. Title: Pilots Convicted of Alcohol or Drug-Related Motor Vehicle Offenses or Subject to State Motor Vehicle Administrative Procedure. Form Numbers: No official form numbers used. Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection. Background: 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 PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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 written report, with the following information: name, address, date of birth, airman certificate number, the type of violation which resulted in the conviction or administrative action, the state which holds the records or action, and a statement of whether the motor vehicle action resulted from the same incident or arose out of the same factual circumstances related to a previously reported motor vehicle action. Respondents: 480 FAA airmen with drug and alcohol related motor vehicle actions provide approximately 599 reports per year over the last three years. Frequency: On occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 30 minutes per report and 299.5 hours for all reports annually. Issued in Oklahoma City, OK, on June 2, 2023.

This notice invites comments on a proposed information collection titled ‘‘Safety Impacts of HumanAutomated Driving System (ADS) Team Driving Applications.’’ It is a driving simulator study with a series of questionnaires that will quantify the safety implications of team driving applications between humans and ADSequipped commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). Specifically, this study will focus on team driving applications with an SAE Level 4 (L4) CMV. In L4 automation, as specified by SAE (2021), CMVs are capable of all functions and controls necessary for driving without human monitoring in limited conditions, and the human driver will not be asked to take over control of the vehicle. The L4 CMV will not operate outside of the conditions it was designed for without human control. Approximately 80 CMV drivers will participate in the study. The study will assess the safety benefits and disbenefits of human-ADS team driving applications and support the analysis of potential requests for relief from FMCSA’s hours-of-service (HOS) regulations.
