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.
