ACTION: Notice of minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: Each year pipeline operators randomly select employees to test for prohibited drugs. The number of selections may not be less than the minimum annual percentage rate PHMSA determines, either 50 percent or 25 percent of covered employees, based on the industry’s positive rate of VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:51 Feb 16, 2006 Jkt 208001 random tests. In accordance with applicable standards, PHMSA has determined that the positive rate of random drug tests reported by operators this calendar year for testing done in calendar year 2005 is less than 1.0 percent. Therefore, in calendar year 2006, the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing is 25 percent of covered employees. DATES: Effective January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Operators of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon dioxide pipelines and operators of liquefied natural gas facilities must annually submit Management Information System (MIS) reports of drug testing done in the previous calendar year (49 CFR 199.119(a)). One PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of the uses of this information is to calculate the minimum annual percentage rate at which operators must randomly select covered employees for drug testing during the next calendar year (49 CFR 199.105(c)(2)). If the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing is 50 percent, PHMSA may lower the rate to 25 percent if PHMSA determines that the positive rate reported for random tests for two consecutive calendar years is less than 1.0 percent (49 CFR 199.105(c)(3)). If the minimum annual percentage rate is 25 percent, PHMSA will increase the rate to 50 percent if PHMSA determines that the positive rate reported for random tests for any calendar year is equal to or greater than 1.0 percent (49 CFR 199.105(c)(4)). Part 199 defines ‘‘positive rate’’ as ‘‘the number of positive results for random drug tests * * * plus the number of refusals of random tests * * *, divided by the total number of random drug E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM 17FEN1
