April 11, 1988 (53 FR 11970), and
subsequently revised in the Federal
Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29908);

any laboratory or IITF certification is
suspended or revoked, the laboratory or
IITF will be omitted from subsequent

Guidelines.
If any laboratory or IITF has
withdrawn from the HHS National

The
Mandatory Guidelines were initially
developed in accordance with Executive
Order 12564 and section 503 of Public
Law 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:

Accreditation Program for Substance

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

certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in
the NLCP certification maintenance
