Alcohol and Drug Testing: Change of Corporate Name, Address, and 
Telephone Numbers of Post-Accident Toxicological Testing Laboratory

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FRA is amending its alcohol and drug rule to reflect changes 
to the corporate name, address, and telephone numbers of the laboratory 
designated to conduct post-accident toxicological testing.

DATES: Effective April 4, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lamar Allen, Alcohol and Drug Program 
Manager, Office of Safety Enforcement, Mail Stop 25, Federal Railroad 
Administration, 1120 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20005, (202) 
493-6313); or Kathy Schnakenberg, FRA Alcohol/Drug Program Specialist, 
(816) 561-2714.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA is amending appendix B to part 219 to 
reflect changes to the corporate name, address, and telephone numbers 
of the laboratory designated to conduct post-accident toxicological 
testing. In 1995, FRA awarded a contract to Northwest Toxicology, Inc. 
to conduct post-accident toxicological testing. The laboratory has 
since changed its corporate name twice; in 1998, when Northwest 
Toxicology, Inc. changed its corporate name to NWT Inc.; and in 2003, 
when LabOne acquired a division of NWT Inc. and changed the 
laboratory's name to Northwest Toxicology, a LabOne Company. FRA has 
modified its post-accident testing contract to recognize the 
laboratory's name change. Northwest Toxicology, a LabOne Company, 
recently moved to a new location. For mailing purposes, railroads 
should ship post-accident toxicological testing specimens to the 
following address and use the telephone numbers below: Northwest 
Toxicology/LabOne, Hayes Building, Suite C, 2282 South 
Presidents Drive, West Valley City, UT 84120, Telephone: (800) 322-3361 
or (801) 293-2300 (Day), (801) 244-5599 (Night/Weekend).
