Only respondents in the jurisdictions in
which these outbreaks occurred would
report to NVEAIS. Thus, not every
respondent will respond every year.
Thus, we have based our respondent
burden estimate on the number of
outbreaks likely to occur each year,
rather than the number of potential
respondents. Assuming each outbreak
occurs in a different jurisdiction, there
will be one respondent per outbreak.
Each respondent will respond only once
per outbreak investigated and the
average burden per response will be
approximately 120 minutes. Thus, the
estimated total annual burden to report
is 3,200 hours.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

Urine Drug Testing for Federal
Agencies

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration, HHS.
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If any laboratory has withdrawn from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,
VerDate Nov<24>2008
18:35 Jan 29, 2010
Jkt 220001
and will be omitted from the monthly
listing thereafter.
This notice is also available on the
Internet at 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).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
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 HHScertified laboratories and participate in
the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

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.
