DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug
Testing Programs (OMB No. 0930-0158)--Extension
SAMHSA's Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs will request OMB approval for the Federal Drug Testing Custody
and Control Form for Federal agency and federally regulated drug
testing programs which must comply with the HHS Mandatory Guidelines
for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (69 FR 19644) dated April
13, 2004, and for the information provided by laboratories for the
National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP).
The Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form is used by all
Federal agencies and employers regulated by the Department of
Transportation to document the collection and chain of custody of urine
specimens at the collection site, for laboratories to report results,
and for Medical Review Officers to make a determination. The Federal
Drug Testing Custody and Control Form approved by OMB three years ago
is being resubmitted for OMB approval without any revision.
Prior to an inspection, a laboratory is required to submit specific
information regarding its laboratory procedures. Collecting this
information prior to an inspection allows the inspectors to thoroughly
review and understand the laboratory's testing procedures before
arriving at the laboratory.
The NLCP application form has not been revised compared to the
previous form.
The annual total burden estimates for the Federal Drug Testing
Custody and Control Form, the NLCP application, the NLCP inspection
checklist, and NLCP recordkeeping requirements are shown in the
following table.
