following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the Agency’s function;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.

sharing, impacts on access to and
quality of affected goods and services,
and beneficiary satisfaction. This
project’s purpose is to provide
information for this Report to Congress.
Due to substantial legislative and
regulatory delays in program
implementation, the Report to Congress
in 2011 will be released just as the
program is being implemented, and
before the evaluation is complete. This
project will continue after the Report to
Congress, to evaluate the impact of the
program on beneficiaries, on Medicare
costs, and on changes in the Medicare
Durable Medical Equipment,
Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies
(DMEPOS) market.
In response to public comments
received on the 60-day notice that
published on December 18, 2009 (74 FR
67227), we have made several revisions
to this information collection request.
Most notably, the revisions include but
are not limited to revised burden
calculations due to an increase in the
number of respondents and the addition
of another data collection wave. Form
Number: CMS–10197 (OMB#: 0938–
1015); Frequency: Occasionally;
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, Private Sector, Business or
other for-profits, not-for-profit
institutions, and Federal Government;

Current List of Laboratories Which
Meet Minimum Standards To Engage in
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,
and will be omitted from the monthly
listing thereafter.
This notice is also available on the
Internet at https://

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

validity tests on urine specimens:

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’

Canadian laboratories wishing to be
considered for the NLCP may apply directly
to the NLCP contractor just as U.S.

of the Mandatory Guidelines published in the

* 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
[[Page 16815]]
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.
