Background Information on the BSC:
The BSC is a technical advisory body
comprised of scientists from the public
and private sectors that provides
primary scientific oversight to the NTP.
Specifically, the BSC advises the NTP
on matters of scientific program content,
both present and future, and conducts
periodic review of the program for the
purpose of determining and advising on
the scientific merit of its activities and
their overall scientific quality. Its
members are selected from recognized
authorities knowledgeable in fields such
as toxicology, pharmacology, pathology,
biochemistry, epidemiology, risk
assessment, carcinogenesis,
mutagenesis, molecular biology,
behavioral toxicology, neurotoxicology,
immunotoxicology, reproductive
toxicology or teratology, and
biostatistics. Members serve overlapping
terms of up to four years. The BSC
usually meets biannually. The authority
for the BSC is provided by 42 U.S.C.

AGENCY:
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) notifies federal
agencies of the laboratories and
Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities
(IITF) currently certified to meet the
standards 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);
September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118);
April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644); November
25, 2008 (73 FR 71858); December 10,
2008 (73 FR 75122); and on April 30,
2010 (75 FR 22809).
A notice listing all currently HHScertified laboratories and IITFs is
published in the Federal Register
during the first week of each month. If
any laboratory or IITF certification is
suspended or revoked, the laboratory or
IITF will be omitted from subsequent
lists until such time as it is restored to
full certification under the Mandatory
Guidelines.
If any laboratory or IITF 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withdrawn from the HHS National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

specimen validity tests on urine
specimens for federal agencies.
To become certified, an applicant
laboratory or IITF must undergo three
rounds of performance testing plus an
on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory or IITF must
participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo periodic,
on-site inspections.
Laboratories and IITFs in the
applicant stage of certification are not to
be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements described in the HHS
Mandatory Guidelines. A HHS-certified
laboratory or IITF must have its letter of

that it has met minimum standards.
In accordance with the Mandatory
Guidelines dated November 25, 2008

Laboratories certified through that

forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation

certification of those accredited
Canadian laboratories will continue
under DOT authority. The responsibility

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 30, 2010 (75 FR

* 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
[[Page 13068]]
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 30, 2010 (75 FR 22809).
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.
