SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace 
Drug Testing were developed in accordance with Executive Order 12564 
and section 503 of Pub. L. 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 
laboratory has met the minimum standards set forth in the Guidelines: 
Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, 1120 Stateline Road West, 
Southaven, MS 38671 866-827-8042/800-233-6339 (Formerly: LabCorp 
Occupational Testing Services, Inc., MedExpress/National Laboratory 
Center).

Richard Kopanda,
Executive Officer, SAMHSA.
