ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) notifies Federal
agencies of the laboratories currently
certified to meet the standards of
Subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines
for Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs (Mandatory Guidelines). The
Mandatory Guidelines were first
published in the Federal Register on
April 11, 1988 (53 FR 11970), and
subsequently revised in the Federal

Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29908),
on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118),
and on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644).
A notice listing all currently certified
laboratories is published in the Federal
Register during the first week of each
month. If any laboratory’s certification
is suspended or revoked, the laboratory
will be omitted from subsequent lists
until such time as it is restored to full
certification under the Mandatory
Guidelines.
If any laboratory has withdrawn from
the HHS National Laboratory
Certification Program (NLCP) during the
past month, it will be listed at the end,
and will be omitted from the monthly
listing thereafter.
This notice is also available on the
Internet at https://
www.workplace.samhsa.gov and https://

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs.
Giselle Hersh, Division of Workplace
Programs, SAMHSA/CSAP, Room 2–
1042, One Choke Cherry Road,
Rockville, Maryland 20857; 240–276–
2600 (voice), 240–276–2610 (fax).
The
Mandatory Guidelines were developed
in accordance with Executive Order
12564 and section 503 of Public Law
100–71. Subpart C of the Mandatory
Guidelines, ‘‘Certification of
Laboratories Engaged in Urine Drug
Testing for Federal Agencies,’’ sets strict
standards that laboratories must meet in
order to conduct drug and specimen
validity tests on urine specimens for
Federal agencies. To become certified,
an applicant laboratory must undergo
three rounds of performance testing plus
an on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory must
participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo periodic,
on-site inspections.
Laboratories which claim to be in the
applicant stage of certification are not to
be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements described in the HHS
Mandatory Guidelines. A laboratory
must have its letter of certification from
HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/NIDA)
which attests that it has met minimum
standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the
Mandatory Guidelines dated April 13,
2004 (69 FR 19644), the following
laboratories meet the minimum
standards to conduct drug and specimen
validity tests on urine specimens:

* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted
to end its Laboratory Accreditation Program for
Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998.
Laboratories certified through that program were
accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as
required by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification
of those accredited Canadian laboratories will
continue under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance testing plus
periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSAaccredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S.
HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance testing and
laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian
laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as
U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be
qualified, HHS will recommend that DOT certify
the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 1996) as
meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal Register on
April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be included in the
monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and
participate in the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request additional information about
this ICR, contact Hope Grey by mail, or
e-mail (see ADDRESSES) or by
telephone at (703) 358–2482.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
We have contracted with the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) to conduct a
survey of national wildlife refuge
visitors so that we can better understand
their recreational, educational, and
information experiences. The Policy
Analysis and Science Assistance Branch
of the USGS will conduct the survey
onsite at approximately 75 national
wildlife refuges nationwide.
Respondents will have the option to
return the survey by mail or to complete
it online.
We will use this survey to measure
visitor satisfaction with current visitor
services and facilities and their desire
for future services and facilities.
Information from this survey will
provide refuge managers, planners, and
visitor services professionals with
scientifically sound data that can be
used to:

to match visitor interests and needs,
(4) Better protect refuge resources by
combining this data with biological
data, and
(5) Understand the economic impact
of visitors to the local community.
Additionally, this survey can target
public access and transportation
planning issues related to wildlifeoriented recreational opportunities such
as auto tour routes, trails, parking lots,
and roads.

performance testing plus an on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory must participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo periodic, on-site inspections.
Laboratories which claim to be in the applicant stage of
certification are not to be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements described in the HHS Mandatory Guidelines. A laboratory
must have its letter of certification from HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/
NIDA) which attests that it has met minimum standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines dated
April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644), the following laboratories meet the
minimum standards to conduct drug and specimen validity tests on urine
specimens:

* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its
Laboratory Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA)
effective May 12, 1998. Laboratories certified through that program
were accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that
date, the certification of those accredited Canadian laboratories
will continue under DOT authority. The responsibility for conducting
quarterly performance testing plus periodic on-site inspections of
those LAPSA-accredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS,
with the HHS' NLCP contractor continuing to have an active role in
the performance testing and laboratory inspection processes. Other
Canadian laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP may
apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will
recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July
16, 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69
FR 19644). After receiving DOT certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and
participate in the NLCP certification maintenance program.

Director, Office of Program Services, SAMHSA.
