I. Background: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) establishes the standards for Federal workplace drug testing programs under the authority of Section 503 of Public Law 100–71, 5 U.S.C. Section 7301, and Executive Order No. 12564. As required, HHS published the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (Guidelines) in the VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:33 Jun 09, 2011 Jkt 223001 Federal Register on April 11, 1988 [53 FR 11979]. SAMHSA subsequently revised the Guidelines on June 9, 1994 [59 FR 29908], September 30, 1997 [62 FR 51118], November 13, 1998 [63 FR 63483], April 13, 2004 [69 FR 19644], and on November 25, 2008 [73 FR 71858]. If there is an adequate scientific basis, HHS anticipates issuing further revisions to the Mandatory Guidelines to address the use of oral fluid specimen. Section 503 of Public Law 100–71, 5 U.S.C. Section 7301 note, required the Department to establish scientific and technical guidelines and amendments in accordance with Executive Order 12564 and to publish Mandatory Guidelines which establish comprehensive standards for all aspects of laboratory drug testing and procedures, including standards that require the use of the best available technology for ensuring the full reliability and accuracy of drug tests and strict procedures governing the chain of custody of specimens collected for drug testing. These revisions to the Mandatory Guidelines promote and establish standards that use the best available technology for ensuring the full reliability and accuracy of urine drug tests, while reflecting the ongoing process of review and evaluation of legal, scientific, and societal concerns. SAMHSA’s chartered CSAP Drug Testing Advisory Board (DTAB) will be the vehicle to provide recommendations for including alternative specimens (oral fluid) in the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs. The overall intent of this effort will be publication of the proposed revisions to the Mandatory Guidelines in the Federal Register for public comment and the development of the Final Notice. To assist the DTAB, we are soliciting written comments and statements from the general public and industry stakeholders regarding a variety of issues related to oral fluid specimen drug testing, including analytes, cutoffs, specimen validity, collection, collection devices, and testing. II. Solicitation of Comments: As we develop our initial outline for the Mandatory Guidelines, we are seeking additional information that is current, scientific, and peer reviewed in reference to oral fluid specimen drug testing, specifically on the following questions: • Analytes/Cutoffs: What analytes should be measured in oral fluid for the initial and confirmatory tests? What initial and confirmation cutoffs should be used for the oral fluid drug tests? Should the oral fluid drug testing panel PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34087 be expanded to include schedule II prescription medications? • Specimen Validity: Are bio-markers needed to validate the oral fluid specimen? Are there appropriate biomarkers or tests for the oral fluid specimen that would reveal adulteration, substitution, and/or dilution? • Collection: How should an oral fluid specimen be collected? For an oral fluid split specimen collection, how should the collection of the two specimens be performed? As a donor, would you prefer to provide an oral fluid or a urine specimen? • Collection Devices: What should be the technical requirements for an oral fluid specimen collection device? • Testing: What technologies are available to perform initial and confirmatory testing on oral fluid specimens?
