Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) this notice announces the
Information Collection Request,
abstracted below, is being forwarded to
the Office of Management and Budget
for extension of the currently approved
Procedures for Transportation Drug and
Alcohol Testing Program. On March 17,
2008 the Office of Drug and Alcohol
Policy and Compliance (ODAPC)
published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register (73 FR 14300) Docket # OST–
2008–0088, informing the public of
ODAPC’s intention to extend an
approved information collection.
Specifically, ODAPC solicited
comments on whether the information
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility.
We asked whether the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection was accurate and
for ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected. The Department sought ways
to minimize the burden for those who
would have to provide information,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. One response,
which contained several comments, was
made to the docket. Among his
comments, the respondent supported
the Department’s estimated burden
hours associated with the collection and
handling of each form and provided
suggestions for updating the Alcohol
Testing Form (ATF) and Management
Information System (MIS) form. Each of
the respondent’s comments were
addressed and are explained in the
supporting statement to OMB. The ATF
and MIS were updated to include an
updated Paperwork Reduction Act
Burden Statement, the current address
of the Department, and DOT form
numbers were added. We provided
additional instructions on the reverse

side of Page 3 of the ATF that tamperevident tape must not obscure the
printed information. Also, the legends
in the test result boxes on the front of
the ATF were adjusted and printed in a
smaller font so they don’t obscure test
results printed directly on the ATF.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by July 11, 2008 and sent to
the attention of the DOT/OST Desk
Officer, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Docket
library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20503 or
