SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 18, 2024, the FAA published the
final rule Drug and Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair Station
Employees Located Outside of the United States (RIN 2120-AK09) in the
Federal Register at 89 FR 103416. That document requires certificated
repair stations located outside the territory of the United States
(U.S.) whose employees perform safety-sensitive maintenance functions
on certain air carrier aircraft to conduct alcohol and controlled
substance testing in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and
consistent with the applicable laws of the country in which the repair
station is located. The document also directs the repair station to
comply with the requirements of the Drug and Alcohol Testing Program
published by the FAA and the Procedures for Transportation Workplace
Drug Testing Programs published by the Department of Transportation, as
proposed. However, the documents also allows foreign governments, on
behalf of certificated repair stations within their territories, and
individual foreign repair stations subject to the rule to obtain the
Administrator's recognition of a compatible alternative that contains
minimum criteria in lieu of compliance with certain components of the
Drug and Alcohol Testing Program.
In that final rule, the FAA inadvertently mischaracterized two
commenters which does not accurately reflect their respective
memberships. This document makes those corrections
Correction
In the final rule FR Doc. 2024-29837, beginning on page 103416, in
the Federal Register of December 18, 2024, make the following
correction: On page 103423 in the first column, in the first full
paragraph, correct the last sentence to read as: ``The 17 supporting
commenters included transportation labor groups and unions
(International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters), Transport Workers
Union of America (TWU), and Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO
(TTD)), a pilots' union (Allied Pilots Association (APA)), a trade
association (National Drug & Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA)), a
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Directory service (SAPList), a
software provider (Nexus 33 Group LLC), and 10 individuals.''
