Agency Forms Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for 
Clearance

    Each Friday the Public Health Service (PHS) publishes a list of 
information collection requests it has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance in compliance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The following requests 
have been submitted to OMB since the list was last published on Friday, 
June 17, 1994.

request).
    1. Revised Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug 
Testing--9999-0023 and 0930-0158 (revision)--Executive Order 12564 
certified the need for and implementation of a drug testing program for 
employees of Executive Agencies to assure a drug-free Federal 
workplace. These guidelines promulgate standards for the certification 
of laboratories to conduct urine drug testing and establish scientific 
and technical guidelines for drug testing programs to assure compliance 
with the intent of the Executive Order. This revision includes the 
additional reporting requirements contained in the Revised Mandatory 
Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing, Sec. 4.14.9 and 
Sec. 2.2(h)(8). (Note: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) is responsible for administrative management of 
this multi-agency activity. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
has, therefore, also approved these reporting requirements and 
associated materials under control number 0930-0158 and assigned a one-
hour burden to the SAMHSA control number to facilities OMB's management 
of the activity. Accordingly, a duplicate submission for the same 
revision has been made to OMB with a one hour burden, for 0930-0158).
