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

    SAMHSA will request OMB approval for the Federal Drug Testing 
Custody and Control Form (CCF) for federal agency and federally 
regulated drug testing programs which must comply with the HHS 
Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs using 
Urine (82 FR 7920) dated January 23, 2017, and OMB approval for 
information provided by test facilities (laboratories and Instrumented 
Initial Test Facilities, IITFs) for the National Laboratory 
Certification Program (NLCP).
    The CCF is used by all federal agencies and employers regulated by 
the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) to document the collection and chain of custody of 
urine specimens at the collection site, for HHS-certified test 
facilities to report results, and for Medical Review Officers (MROs) to 
document and report a verified result. SAMHSA allows the use of the CCF 
as a paper or electronic form.
    The current OMB-approved CCF has a May 31, 2017 expiration date. 
SAMHSA has resubmitted the CCF with minor content revisions to the form 
for OMB approval. These revisions are:
     Remove the checkbox, the letters ``DOT'', and hash line in 
front of Specify DOT Agency in Step 1: Completed by collector or 
employer Representative; Line D: Specify Testing Authority.
     Addition of four new analytes (oxycodone, oxymorphone, 
hydrocodone, and hydromorphone) in Step 5A: Primary Specimen Report--
Completed by Test Facility.
     Removal of the analyte methylenedioxyethylamphetamine 
(MDEA) in Step 5A: Primary Specimen Report--Completed by Test Facility.
    Based upon information from federal agencies and from DOT 
concerning their regulated industries, the number of respondents has 
been reduced from a total of 6.1 million in 2013 to 5.4 million, which 
reduces the total burden hours by 188,766.
    Laboratories and IITFs seeking HHS certification under the NLCP 
must complete and submit the NLCP application form. The NLCP 
application form has not been revised compared to the previous form.
    Prior to an inspection, an HHS-certified laboratory or IITF is 
required to submit specific information regarding its procedures. 
Collecting this information prior to an inspection allows the 
inspectors to thoroughly review and understand the testing procedures 
before arriving for the onsite inspection. The NLCP information 
checklist has not been revised compared to the previous form.
    The annual total burden estimates for the CCF, the NLCP 
application, the NLCP information checklist, and the NLCP recordkeeping 
requirements are shown in the following table.
