Certification Program during the past month, it will be listed at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace 
Drug Testing were developed in accordance with Executive Order 12564 
and section 503 of Pub. L. 100-

[[Page 63715]]

71. Subpart C of the Guidelines, ``Certification of Laboratories 
Engaged in Urine Drug Testing for Federal Agencies,'' sets strict 
standards which laboratories must meet in order to conduct urine drug 
testing for Federal agencies. To become certified an applicant 
laboratory must undergo three rounds of performance testing plus an on-
site inspection.
    To maintain that certification a laboratory must participate in a 
quarterly performance testing program plus periodic, on-site 
inspections.
    Laboratories which claim to be in the applicant stage of 
certification are not to be considered as meeting the minimum 
requirements expressed in the HHS Guidelines. A laboratory must have 
its letter of certification from SAMHSA, HHS (formerly: HHS/NIDA) which 
attests that it has met minimum standards.
    In accordance with Subpart C of the Guidelines, the following 
laboratories meet the minimum standards set forth in the Guidelines:

*The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its Laboratory 
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. 
DHHS, with the DHHS' National Laboratory Certification Program 
(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, the DHHS 
will recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, 16 
July 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the ``Mandatory 
Guidelines for Workplace Drug Testing'' (59 Federal Register, 9 June 
1994, Pages 29908-29931). After receiving the DOT certification, the 
laboratory will be included in the monthly list of DHHS certified 
laboratories and participate in the NLCP certification maintenance 
program.
