newborns and children having or at risk for
heritable disorders.

Random Drug Testing Rate for
Covered Crewmembers
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of minimum random
drug testing rate.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has set the
calendar year 2006 minimum random
drug testing rate at 50 percent of
covered crewmembers. Based upon an
evaluation of the 2004 Management
Information System (MIS) data
collection forms submitted by marine
employers, we will maintain the
minimum random drug testing at 50
percent of covered crewmembers for the
calendar year 2006. The purpose of
setting a minimum random drug testing
rate is to establish a measure of
deterrence for the illegal use of
controlled substances.
DATES: The minimum random drug
testing rate is effective January 1, 2006
through December 31, 2006. You must
submit your 2005 MIS reports no later
than March 15, 2006.
ADDRESSES: The annual MIS report may
be submitted in writing to Commandant
(G–MOA), U.S. Coast Guard
Headquarters, 2100 Second Street, SW.,
Room 2404, Washington, DC 20593–
0001 or by electronic submission to the
following Internet address: https://

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
questions about this notice, please
contact Mr. Robert C. Schoening, Drug

questions on viewing the docket, call
Renee V. Wright, Program Manager,
Dockets Operations, Department of
Transportation, telephone 202–366–
0402.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 46
CFR 16.230, the Coast Guard requires
marine employers to establish random
drug testing programs for covered
crewmembers on inspected and
uninspected vessels. All marine
employers are required to collect and
maintain a record of drug testing
program data for each calendar year,
January 1 through December 31. You
must submit this data by 15 March of
the following year to the Coast Guard in
an annual MIS report.
You may either submit your own MIS
report or have a consortium or other

employer representative submit the data
in a consolidated MIS report. The
chemical drug testing data is essential to
analyze our current approach for
deterring and detecting illegal drug
abuse in the maritime industry.
Since 2004 MIS data indicates that the
positive random testing rate is greater
than one percent industry-wide (1.53
percent), the Coast Guard announces
that the minimum random drug testing
rate is set at 50 percent of covered
employees for the period of January 1,
2006 through December 31, 2006 in
accordance with 46 CFR 16.230(e).
Each year we will publish a notice
reporting the results of the previous
calendar year’s MIS data, and the
minimum annual percentage rate for
random drug testing for the next
calendar year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fish
and Wildlife Service regulates the
subsistence take of migratory birds in
Alaska through regulations in 50 CFR
part 92. The Service published a notice
of decision in the Federal Register on
March 28, 2000, (65 FR 16405) that
established regional management bodies
in Alaska to develop recommendations
related to subsistence harvest. The
notice of decision also established a
single statewide management body
consisting of representatives from each
of the regions and one representative
each from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the Alaska Department of
Fish and Game. Membership on the 11
regional bodies comprises subsistence
users from each of the active regions.
The Service contracted with 11 partner
organizations to organize and support
the regional bodies.
Since 2000, the Co-management
Council partner organization
representing Southeast Alaska has been
the Central Council. However, the
Central Council notified the Service, by
letter dated September 16, 2005, of its
request to cease the present regional
partnership with the Co-management
Council, and recommended that the
Southeast Alaska Inter-Tribal Fish and
Wildlife Commission could potentially
be a good replacement. The Comanagement Council met in Anchorage
on September 29, 2005, and
unanimously selected the Southeast
Alaska Inter-Tribal Fish and Wildlife
Commission as the new regional partner
to represent Southeast Alaska.
Since 2000, the Co-management
Council partner organization
representing the Kodiak Archipelago
has been the Kodiak Area Native
Association. However, the Kodiak Area
Native Association notified the Service,
by letter dated November 3, 2005, of its
request to cease the present regional
partnership with the Co-management
Council, and recommended that the
Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak could
potentially be a good replacement. The
Co-management Council voted by
polling on November 21, 2005, and
selected the Shoonaq’ Tribe of Alaska as
the new regional partner to represent
Kodiak, Alaska.
These two new Co-management
Council partner organizations will

ensure continuity of communication
with the subsistence users of their
regions to establish and maintain local
representation on their regional
management bodies. Partners are also
responsible for coordinating meetings
within their regions, soliciting proposals
and keeping the villages informed.
