DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Current List of Laboratories and Instrumented Initial Testing
Facilities Which Meet Minimum Standards To Engage in Urine Drug Testing
for Federal Agencies
AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notifies
Federal agencies of the Laboratories and Instrumented Initial Testing
Facilities (IITF) currently certified to meet the standards of the
Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs
(Mandatory Guidelines). The Mandatory Guidelines were first published
in the Federal Register on April 11, 1988 (53 FR 11970), and
subsequently revised in the Federal Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR
29908); September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118); April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644);
November 25, 2008 (73 FR 71858); December 10, 2008 (73 FR 75122); and
on April 30, 2010 (75 FR 22809).
A notice listing all currently certified Laboratories and
Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities (IITF) is published in the
Federal Register during the first week of each month. If any
Laboratory/IITF's certification is suspended or revoked, the
Laboratory/IITF will be omitted from subsequent lists until such time
as it is restored to full certification under the Mandatory Guidelines.
If any Laboratory/IITF has withdrawn from the HHS National
Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP) during the past month, it will
be listed at the end and will be omitted from the monthly listing
thereafter.
This notice is also available on the Internet at http://www.workplace.samhsa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Giselle Hersh, Division of Workplace
Programs, SAMHSA/CSAP, Room 7-1051, One Choke Cherry Road, Rockville,
Maryland 20857; 240-276-2600 (voice), 240-276-2610 (fax).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mandatory Guidelines were initially
developed in accordance with Executive Order 12564 and section 503 of
Public Law 100-71. The ``Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace
Drug Testing Programs'', as amended in the revisions listed above,
requires strict standards that Laboratories and Instrumented Initial
Testing Facilities (IITF) must meet in order to conduct drug and
specimen validity tests on urine specimens for Federal agencies.
To become certified, an applicant Laboratory/IITF must undergo
three rounds of performance testing plus an on-site inspection. To
maintain that certification, a Laboratory/IITF must participate in a
quarterly performance testing program plus undergo periodic, on-site
inspections.
Laboratories and Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities (IITF) in
the applicant stage of certification are not to be considered as
meeting the minimum requirements described in the HHS Mandatory
Guidelines. A Laboratory/IITF must have its letter of certification
from HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/NIDA) which attests that it has met
minimum standards.
In accordance with the Mandatory Guidelines dated November 25, 2008
(73 FR 71858), the following Laboratories and Instrumented Initial
Testing Facilities (IITF) meet the minimum standards to conduct drug
and specimen validity tests on urine specimens:
Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities (IITF)
None.

*The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its
Laboratory Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA)
effective May 12, 1998. Laboratories certified through that program
were accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that
date, the certification of those accredited Canadian laboratories
will continue under DOT authority. The responsibility for conducting
quarterly performance testing plus periodic on-site inspections of
those LAPSA-accredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS,
with the HHS' NLCP contractor continuing to have an active role in
the performance testing and laboratory inspection processes. Other
Canadian laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP may
apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will
recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July
16, 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2010 (75
FR 22809). After receiving DOT certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and
participate in the NLCP certification maintenance program.
