Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing 
Programs (OMB NO. 0930-0158)--Extension

    SAMHSA's Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing 
Programs will request OMB approval for the Federal Drug Testing Custody 
and Control Form for Federal agency and federally regulated drug 
testing programs which must comply with the HHS Mandatory Guidelines 
for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs (69 FR 19644) dated April 
13, 2004, and for the information provided by laboratories for the 
National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP).
    The Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form is used by all 
Federal agencies and employers regulated by the Department of 
Transportation to document the collection and chain of custody of urine 
specimens at the collection site, for laboratories to report results, 
and for Medical Review Officers to make a determination. The Federal 
Drug Testing Custody and Control Form approved by OMB three years ago 
is being resubmitted for OMB approval without any revision.
    Prior to an inspection, a laboratory is required to submit specific 
information regarding its laboratory procedures. Collecting this 
information prior to an inspection allows the inspectors to thoroughly 
review and understand the laboratory's testing procedures before 
arriving at the laboratory.
    The NLCP application form has not been revised compared to the 
previous form.
    The annual total burden estimates for the Federal Drug Testing 
Custody and Control Form, the NLCP application, the NLCP inspection 
checklist, and NLCP recordkeeping requirements are shown in the 
following table.
