Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 5, 2024 / Rules and Regulations about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. C. Collection of Information This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Also, this rule does not have Tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f) and have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves moving security zones lasting for the duration of time that the M/V GLOBAL SEALINE and MOL HESTIA are within the Corpus VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:29 Nov 04, 2024 Jkt 265001 Christi Ship Channel and La Quinta Channel while loaded with cargo. It will prohibit entry within a 500-yard radius of the M/V GLOBAL SEALINE and MOL HESTIA while the vessels are transiting loaded within Corpus Christi Ship Channel and La Quinta Channel. It is categorically excluded from further review under L60(a) in Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023– 01–001–01, Rev. 1. A record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble. G.

AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:29 Nov 04, 2024 Jkt 265001 ACTION: Final rule. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) revises its drug and alcohol testing procedures, as amended by a final rule published on May 2, 2023, to provide temporary qualification requirements for mock oral fluid monitors, provide for consistent requirements by identifying which individuals may be present during an oral fluid collection, and clarify how collectors are to document that a sufficient volume of oral fluid was collected. SUMMARY: This final rule is effective on December 5, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bohdan Baczara, Deputy Director, Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; telephone number 202–366–3784; ODAPCwebmail@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: I. Authority for This Rulemaking This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority originally enacted in the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act (OTETA) of 1991, codified at 49 U.S.C. 45102 and 45104 (aviation industry testing), 49 U.S.C. 20140 (rail), 49 U.S.C. 31306 (motor carrier), and 49 U.S.C. 5331 (transit). OTETA requires that the Department incorporate the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Mandatory Guidelines, including amendments, into the Department’s regulations for testing and laboratory requirements for aviation, rail (except for rail postaccident testing), motor carrier, and transit testing. Additional authority at 5 U.S.C. 7301 note and Executive Order 12564, specify HHS as the agency that establishes scientific and technical guidelines for Federal workplace drug testing programs and standards for certification of laboratories engaged in such drug testing. While DOT has discretion concerning many aspects of its regulations governing testing in the transportation industries’ regulated programs, DOT follows the HHS Mandatory Guidelines for the laboratory and specimen testing procedures. On October 25, 2019, HHS published a final rule establishing the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs using Oral Fluid (OFMG), which became effective January 1, 2020. (84 FR 57554, Oct. 25, 2019). As of the time of the publication of this final rule, there have been no laboratories yet certified by HHS for oral fluid testing. PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 II. Background DOT published a final rule amending the procedures for its drug testing program (49 CFR part 40) on May 2, 2023 (88 FR 27596) (May 2023 final rule). The May 2023 final rule went into effect on June 1, 2023. The final rule authorized oral fluid drug testing as an additional methodology for employers to use as a means of achieving the safety goals of the program. We have determined instances in which the text of various aspects of the procedures as amended by the May 2023 final rule need to be further amended due to unforeseen circumstances that have rendered it impossible to comply with requirements for mock oral fluid collection observers, for consistency with regard to privacy during the specimen collection, and to clarify the means by which collectors document that a sufficient volume of oral fluid was collected. To address the issues identified above, DOT published a direct final rule (DFR) on June 21, 2024. (89 FR 5189) DOT published the DFR without a prior proposed rule because we viewed the DFR as a noncontroversial action and anticipated no adverse comments on any of the provisions of the rule. The DFR was to become effective on August 5, 2024, unless DOT received adverse comments on the provisions of the DFR. DOT noted that if adverse comments were received, it would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the provisions of the rule on which adverse comments were received would not take effect. On the same day, DOT published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) containing the same amendments in the DFR that served as the proposed rule to amend Part 40 if adverse comments were received on any of the provisions in the DFR (89 FR 52002). DOT noted that if adverse comments were received, DOT would address the public comments received in a subsequent final rule based on the NPRM. DOT stated that it would not institute a second comment period on the NPRM. DOT received adverse comments to each of the provisions in the DFR and NPRM, and DOT published a notice withdrawing the DFR in the Federal Register on August 1, 2024 (89 FR 62665). III. Comments to the DFR and NPRM DOT received 15 unique comments to the DFR, and 18 unique comments to the NPRM.1 These comments included 1 There were duplicate comments filed for both the DFR and the NPRM that are included in the docket in www.regulations.gov.
