Office of the Secretary June 25, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Homeland Security Privacy Office will host a public workshop, Implementing Privacy Protections in Government Data Mining.

The Department of Transportation is amending certain provisions of its drug and alcohol testing procedures to change instructions to collectors, laboratories, medical review officers, and employers regarding adulterated, substituted, diluted, and invalid urine specimen results. These changes are intended to create consistency with specimen validity requirements established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and to clarify and integrate some measures taken in two of our own Interim Final Rules. This Final Rule makes specimen validity testing mandatory within the regulated transportation industries.
