[Federal Register Volume 75, Number 136 (Friday, July 16, 2010)] [Notices] [Pages 41488-41497] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2010-17400] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243. Project: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (OMB No. 0930-0158)--Revision SAMHSA's Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs will request OMB approval for the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form for Federal agency and federally regulated drug testing programs which must comply with the HHS Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (73 FR 71858) dated November 25, 2008, and for the information provided by laboratories for the National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP). The Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (Federal CCF) is used by all Federal agencies and employers regulated by the Department of Transportation to document the collection and chain of custody of urine specimens at the collection site, for laboratories to report results, and for Medical Review Officers to make a determination. The current Federal CCF approved by OMB has a November 30, 2011 expiration date. SAMHSA has resubmitted the Federal CCF with revisions to the form for OMB approval.The first change is to add a new item in Step 1 of Copy 1, which lists the acronyms for the Federal testing authorities under which the specimen is collected. The new Step 1 (d) would read as follows: ``D. Specify Testing Authority: HHS, NRC, DOT--Specify DOT Agency: FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, USCG'' with a checkbox beside each agency name. The second change is to revise the Federal CCF Copy 1 to permit use by Instrumented Initial Test Facility (IITF), in addition to laboratories. The third change is to add the new drug analytes required by the revised Guidelines to the Primary Specimen Report section in Step 5(a) on Copy 1. The new drug analytes are methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as ``ecstasy''; methyleneamphetamine (MDA), and methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA). MDA and MDEA are both close chemical analogues of MDMA. The fourth change is to revise the Medical Review Officer (MRO) reporting sections on Copy 2 for primary specimens (Step 6) and for split specimens (Step 7) to facilitate reporting in accordance with the Guidelines. Below is a copy of the revised Federal CCF: BILLING CODE 4162-20-P [[Page 41489]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.028 [[Page 41490]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.029 [[Page 41491]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.030 [[Page 41492]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.031 [[Page 41493]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.032 [[Page 41494]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.033 [[Page 41495]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.034 [[Page 41496]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.035 [[Page 41497]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN16JY10.036 BILLING CODE 4162-20-C Prior to an inspection, a laboratory is required to submit specific information regarding its laboratory procedures.
