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
[[Page 19745]]
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)--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.
