                  Subpart E_Urine Specimen Collections
 
Sec.  40.63  What steps does the collector take in the collection process 
before the employee provides a urine specimen?

    As the collector, you must take the following steps before the 
employee provides the urine specimen:
    (a) Complete Step 1 of the CCF.
    (b) Instruct the employee to wash and dry his or her hands at this 
time. You must tell the employee not to wash his or her hands again 
until after delivering the specimen to you. You must not give the 
employee any further access to water or other materials that could be 
used to adulterate or dilute a specimen.
    (c) Select, or allow the employee to select, an individually wrapped 
or sealed collection container from collection kit materials. Either you 
or the employee, with both of you present, must unwrap or break the seal 
of the collection container. You must not unwrap or break the seal on 
any specimen bottle at this time. You must not allow the employee to 
take anything from the collection kit into the room used for urination 
except the collection container.
    (d) Direct the employee to go into the room used for urination, 
provide a specimen of at least 45 mL, not flush the toilet, and return 
to you with the specimen as soon as the employee has completed the void.
    (1) Except in the case of an observed or a monitored collection (see 
Sec. Sec.  40.67 and 40.69 ), neither you nor anyone else may go into 
the room with the employee.
    (2) As the collector, you may set a reasonable time limit for 
voiding.
    (e) You must pay careful attention to the employee during the entire 
collection process to note any conduct that clearly indicates an attempt 
to tamper with a specimen (e.g., substitute urine in plain view or an 
attempt to bring into the collection site an adulterant or urine 
substitute). If you detect such conduct, you must require that a 
collection take place immediately under direct observation (see Sec.  
40.67 ) and note the conduct and the fact that the collection was 
observed in the ``Remarks'' line of the CCF (Step 2). You must also, as 
soon as possible, inform the DER and collection site supervisor that a 
collection took place under direct observation and the reason for doing 
so.
