Random Drug Testing Rate for
Covered Crewmembers
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of minimum random
drug testing rate.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard has set the
calendar year 2010 minimum random
drug testing rate at 50 percent of
covered crewmembers.
DATES: The minimum random drug
testing rate is effective January 1, 2010
through December 31, 2010. Marine
employers must submit their 2009
Management Information System (MIS)
reports no later than March 15, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Annual MIS reports may be

U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100
Second Street, SW., STOP 7581,
Washington, DC 20593–7581 or by

SUMMARY:
Investigations and Casualty Analysis
(CG–545), U.S. Coast Guard
Headquarters, telephone 202–372–1033.
If you have questions on viewing or
submitting material to the docket, call
Renee V. Wright, Program Manager,
Docket Operations, telephone 202–366–
9826.
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.
Every marine employer is required by
46 CFR 16.500 to collect and maintain
a record of drug testing program data for
each calendar year, and submit this data
by 15 March of the following year to the
Coast Guard in an annual MIS report.
Marine employers may either submit
their own MIS reports or have a
consortium or other employer
representative submit the data in a
consolidated MIS report.
The purpose of setting a minimum
random drug testing rate is to assist the
Coast Guard in analyzing its current
approach for deterring and detecting
illegal drug abuse in the maritime
industry. The testing rate for calendar
year 2010 is 50 percent.
The Coast Guard may lower this rate
if, for two consecutive years, the drug
test positive rate is less than 1.0 percent,
in accordance with 46 CFR part
16.230(f)(2).
Since 2008 MIS data indicates that the
positive rate is greater than one percent
industry-wide (1.53 percent), the Coast
Guard announces that the minimum
random drug testing rate will continue
at 50 percent of covered employees for
the period of January 1, 2010 through
December 31, 2010 in accordance with
46 CFR 16.230(e).
Each year, the Coast Guard will
publish a notice reporting the results of
random drug testing for the previous
calendar year’s MIS data and the
minimum annual percentage rate for
random drug testing for the next
calendar year.

Tivoly, Inc., Derby Line, VT; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated November 4,
2009, the International Association of
Machinists, Local Lodge 1829 requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
determination was issued on October 2,
2009. The Notice of Determination will
soon be published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of cutting tools did
not contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding customers of the
subject firm.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.

Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.

November 2009.
