Subpart C of Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing 
Programs (59 FR 29916, 29925). A notice listing all currently certified 
laboratories is published in the Federal Register during the first week 
of each month. If any laboratory's certification is suspended or 
revoked, the laboratory will be omitted from subsequent lists until 
such time as it is restored to full certification under the Guidelines.
    If any laboratory has withdrawn from the National Laboratory 
Certification Program during the past month, it will be listed at the 
end, and will be omitted from the monthly listing thereafter.
    This notice is also available on the internet at the following Web 
sites: http://workplace.samhsa.gov and http://www.drugfreeworkplace.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace 
Drug Testing were developed in accordance with Executive Order 12564 
and section 503 of Public Law 100-71. 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 FR, 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.
