DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Center for Substance Abuse Prevention; Notice

    Pursuant to Pub. L. 92-463, notice is given of the meeting of the 
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Drug 
Testing Advisory Board (DTAB) that was held on September 14 and 15, 
2004, at the Residence Inn by Marriott, 7335 Wisconsin Avenue, 
Bethesda, Maryland 20814.
    A summary of the meeting is as follows. The Board met in an open 
session on September 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. The open session 
included a Department of Health and Human Services drug testing program 
update, a presentation on the comments submitted on the proposed 
revisions to the ``Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug 
Testing'' published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 
19673-19732), and a Department of Transportation drug testing program 
update.
    The Board met in closed sessions on September 14 from 11:15 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m. and on September 15 from 8:30 a.m. to noon to review and 
discuss the public comments submitted regarding the Revised Mandatory 
Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (69 FR 19644, 
April 13, 2004) and the Notice of Proposed Revisions to the Mandatory 
Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Program (69 FR 19673, 
April 13, 2004). This meeting was conducted in closed sessions since 
discussing preliminary information on the Guidelines in open session 
would significantly frustrate the Department's ability to develop the 
Final Notice of Revisions to the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal 
Workplace Drug Testing Programs, which must include the policies and 
procedures that will assure accurate and reliable specimen validity 
testing as well as drug testing using alternative specimens and when 
using on-site drug tests.
    A roster of the board members may be obtained from: Mrs. Giselle 
Hersh, Division of Workplace Programs, 1 Choke Cherry Road, Room 2-
1035, Rockville, MD 20857, 240-276-2600 (voice). To ensure that all 
interested parties receive information presented at the DTAB meeting, 
the transcript of the open session will be available on the following 
Web site http://workplace.samhsa.gov as soon as possible after the 
meeting.

    Dated: September 20, 2004.
Toian Vaughn, Committee Management Officer, Substance Abuse and Mental 
Health Services Administration.
