ACTION: Notice.
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);

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Mandatory Guidelines were initially
developed in accordance with Executive
Order 12564 and section 503 of Pub. L.
100–71. The ‘‘Mandatory Guidelines for
Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs,’’ as amended in the revisions
listed above, requires strict standards
that laboratories and IITFs must meet in
order to conduct drug and 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
certification from HHS/SAMHSA
(formerly: HHS/NIDA), which attests
that it has met minimum standards.
In accordance with the Mandatory
Guidelines dated November 25, 2008
(73 FR 71858), the following HHScertified laboratories and IITFs 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 LAPSAaccredited 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 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.

The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public that the Coast
Guard has recertified the Prince William
Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory
Council (PWSRCAC) as an alternative
voluntary advisory group for Prince
William Sound, Alaska. This
certification allows the PWSRCAC to
monitor the activities of terminal
facilities and crude oil tankers under the
Prince William Sound Program
established by statute.
DATES: This recertification is effective
for the period from February 29, 2016
through February 28, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SUMMARY:
Background and Purpose
As part of the Oil Pollution Act of
1990, Congress passed the Oil Terminal
and Oil Tanker Environmental
Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990
(the Act), 33 U.S.C. 2732, to foster a
long-term partnership among industry,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:03 Apr 01, 2016
Jkt 238001
government, and local communities in
overseeing compliance with
environmental concerns in the
operation of crude oil terminals and oil
tankers.
On October 18, 1991, the President
delegated his authority under 33 U.S.C
2732(o) to the Secretary of
Transportation in Executive Order
12777, section 8(g) (see 56 FR 54757;
October 22, 1991) for purposes of
certifying advisory councils, or groups,
subject to the Act. On March 3, 1992,
the Secretary redelegated that authority
to the Commandant of the Coast Guard
(see 57 FR 8582; March 11, 1992). The
Commandant redelegated that authority
to the Chief, Office of Marine Safety,
Security and Environmental Protection
(G–M) on March 19, 1992 (letter #5402).
On July 7, 1993, the Coast Guard
published a policy statement, 58 FR
36504, to clarify the factors that shall be
considered in making the determination
as to whether advisory councils, or
groups, should be certified in
accordance with the Act.
The Assistant Commandant for
Marine Safety and Environmental
Protection (G–M), redelegated
recertification authority for advisory
councils, or groups, to the Commander,
Seventeenth Coast Guard District on
February 26, 1999 (letter #16450).
On September 16, 2002, the Coast
Guard published a policy statement, 67
FR 58440, that changed the
recertification procedures such that
applicants are required to provide the
Coast Guard with comprehensive
information every three years
(triennially). For each of the two years
between the triennial application
procedures, applicants submit a letter
requesting recertification that includes a
description of any substantive changes
to the information provided at the
previous triennial recertification.
Further, public comment is not solicited
prior to recertification during
streamlined years, only during the
triennial comprehensive review.
On March 1, 2003, the Coast Guard
was transferred from the Department of
Transportation (DoT) to the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) and
retained the previous delegations that
were provided while it was in the DoT.
The Alyeska Pipeline Service
Company pays the PWSRCAC $2.9
million annually in the form of a
longterm contract. In return for this
funding, the PWSRCAC must annually
show that it ‘‘fosters the goals and
purposes’’ of OPA 90 and is ‘‘broadly
representative of the communities and
interests in the vicinity of the terminal
facilities and Prince William Sound.’’
The PWSRCAC is an independent,
PO 00000
Frm 00105
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
nonprofit organization founded in 1989.
Though it receives federal oversight like
many independent, non-profit
organizations, it is not a federal agency.
The PWSRCAC is a local organization
that predates the passage of OPA 90.
The existence of the PWSRCAC was
specifically recognized in OPA 90
where it is defined as an ‘‘alternate
voluntary advisory group.’’
Alyeska funds the PWSRCAC, and the
Coast Guard makes sure the PWSRCRC
operates in a fashion that is broadly
consistent with OPA 90.
Recertification
By letter dated Feb. 29, 2016, the
Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard
certified that the PWSRCAC qualifies as
an alternative voluntary advisory group
under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o). This
recertification terminates on February
28, 2017.
Dated: February 29, 2016.

* 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 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.
