Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The FAA has determined that
the minimum random drug and alcohol
testing percentage rates for the period
SUMMARY:
January 1, 2019, through December 31,
2019, will remain at 25 percent of
safety-sensitive employees for random
drug testing and 10 percent of safetysensitive employees for random alcohol
testing.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Vicky Dunne, Office of Aerospace
Medicine, Drug Abatement Division,
Program Policy Branch (AAM–820),
Federal Aviation Administration, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Room 806,
Washington, DC 20591; Telephone (202)
267–8442.
Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR
120.109(b), the FAA Administrator’s
decision on whether to change the
minimum annual random drug testing
rate is based on the reported random
drug test positive rate for the entire
aviation industry. If the reported
random drug test positive rate is less
than 1.00%, the Administrator may
continue the minimum random drug
testing rate at 25%. In 2017, the random
drug test positive rate was 0.659%.
Therefore, the minimum random drug
testing rate will remain at 25% for
calendar year 2019.
Similarly, 14 CFR 120.217(c), requires
the decision on the minimum annual
random alcohol testing rate to be based
on the random alcohol test violation
rate. If the violation rate remains less
than 0.50%, the Administrator may
continue the minimum random alcohol
testing rate at 10%. In 2017, the random
alcohol test violation rate was 0.108%.
Therefore, the minimum random
alcohol testing rate will remain at 10%
for calendar year 2019.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you
have questions about how the annual
random testing percentage rates are
determined please refer to the Code of
Federal Regulations Title 14, section
120.109(b) (for drug testing), and
120.217(c) (for alcohol testing).
Issued in Washington, DC, on November
20, 2018.

1 The
Board modified its OFA procedures
effective July 29, 2017. Among other things, the
OFA process now requires potential offerors, in
their formal expression of intent, to make a
preliminary financial responsibility showing based
on a calculation using information contained in the
carrier’s filing and publicly available information.
See Offers of Financial Assistance, EP 729 (STB
served June 29, 2017); 82 FR 30997 (July 5, 2017).
2 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which currently is set at $1,800. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
3 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and
public use conditions are not appropriate. Because
there will be an environmental review during
abandonment, this discontinuance does not require
environmental review.
