SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0529.
    Title: Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol 
Testing Programs.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a renewal of an information 
collection.
    Form Numbers: DOT F 1385; DOT F 1380.
    Respondents: The information will be used by transportation 
employers, Department representatives, and a variety of service agents.
    Abstract: Under the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 
1991, DOT is required to implement a drug and alcohol testing program 
in various transportation-related industries. This specific requirement 
is elaborated in 49 CFR part 40, Procedures for Transportation 
Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs. This request for a renewal 
of the information collection for the program includes 43 burden items 
including the U.S. Department of Transportation Alcohol Testing Form 
(ATF) [DOT F 1380] and the DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Management 
Information System (MIS) Data Collection Form [DOT F 1385].
    The ATF includes the employee's name, the type of test taken, the 
date of the test, and the name of the employer. Data on each test 
conducted, including test results, is necessary to document that the 
tests were conducted and is used to take action, when required, to 
ensure safety in the workplace. The MIS form includes employer specific 
drug and alcohol testing information such as the reason for the test 
and the cumulative number of test results for the negative, positive, 
and refusal tests. No employee specific data is collected. The MIS data 
is used by each of the affected DOT Agencies (i.e., Federal Aviation 
Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Railroad 
Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and the 
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) and the United 
States Coast Guard when calculating their industry's annual random drug 
and/or alcohol testing rate.
    Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 3,593,202.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 11,841,478.
    Frequency of Response: The information will be collected annually.
    Estimated Total Number Burden Hours: 1,287,811.
