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-C
    Prior to an inspection, a laboratory is required to submit specific 
information regarding its laboratory procedures. Collecting this 
information prior to an inspection allows the inspectors to thoroughly 
review and understand the laboratory's testing procedures before 
arriving at the laboratory.
    The annual total burden estimates for the Federal Drug Testing 
Custody and Control Form, the NLCP application, the NLCP inspection 
checklist, and NLCP recordkeeping requirements are shown in the 
following table.
