DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


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) 276-0361.

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

    SAMHSA will request OMB approval for extension of 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 (UrMG) dated January 23, 2017 (82 FR 7920) and using Oral Fluid 
(OFMG) dated October 25, 2019, 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

[[Page 16020]]

Medical Review Officers (MROs) to document and report a verified 
result. SAMHSA allows the use of the CCF as a paper or electronic form.
    Laboratories and IITFs seeking HHS certification under the NLCP 
must complete and submit the NLCP application form. The NLCP 
application form remains without change. 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 is without change.
    The current OMB-approved CCF has an August 31, 2023 expiration 
date. SAMHSA plans to submit the CCF without content revisions for OMB 
approval.
    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.

\1\ Note: The time it takes each respondent (i.e., donor, collector, laboratory, IITF, and MRO) to complete the Federal CCF is based on an average
  estimated number of minutes it would take each respondent to complete their designated section of the form or regulated entities (e.g., HHS, DOT, and
  NRC).
\1\ Note: The above number of responses is based on an estimate of the total number of specimens collected annually (approximately 150,000 federal
  agency specimens; 6,500,000 DOT regulated specimens, and 145,000 NRC regulated specimens).
\2\ Note: The estimate of 10 applications per year is based on requests for a laboratory application (urine or oral fluid) in the past year (i.e., at
  the time of these calculations) and only 1 IITF application submitted after October 1, 2010.
\2\ Note: The estimate of three burden hours to complete the application has not changed.
\3\ Note: At the time of these calculations, there were 20 certified laboratories and one certified IITF undergoing 2 maintenance inspections each year,
  and 4 applicant laboratories.
\3\ Note: The wage rates listed for each respondent are based on estimated average hourly wages for the individuals performing these tasks.
