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).
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withdrawn from the HHS National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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Health and Human

of the laboratories and Instrumented
Initial Testing Facilities (IITF) currently
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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); April
30, 2010 (75 FR 22809); and on January
23, 2017 (82 FR 7920)
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 January 23, 2017 (82
FR 7920), the following HHS-certified
laboratories and IITFs meet the
minimum standards to conduct drug
and specimen validity tests on urine
specimens:

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
